What exactly is the Nissan Teana? A sedan? A station wagon? A notch back? Or a mess? Probably it's an example of the last kind. A bland design which is so much lifeless and dated that the prospective buyer will be reluctant to part with his money. Nissan has some fantastic looking cars in its portfolio and I still wonder why they opted to give India this jelly bean shaped luxury car.Nissan does need a refresher course on Indian tastes. Organic shapes are making their way out of the car design industry and if they still expect us to fall for a dull looking vessel, they need something more than the course.
Teana sets you back by Rs. 20 lakhs and for a bit north or south of that sum, you can take home better lookers like the Skoda Superb and VW Passat. The equipment levels speak in Teana's favour. But a D-segment buyer expects more than the interior comfort and features. He wants style and chunks of it. Unfortunately Teana has anything but style.
