The 2026 Nissan Fenglanda is a Japanese compact SUV branded as a "
New Car," yet at first glance, it gives the illusion of a "new energy vehicle face": a narrow grille, a continuous light strip connecting the headlights and matrix LED lights, coupled with a floating roof and a new Titanium Gray paint finish, making it resemble a scaled-down electric concept car from a distance. It's more spirited than its old rival, the Nissan Qashqai, and half a meter shorter than the
commercial vehicle, the Tourneo, allowing for easy U-turns in alleyways.
The interior completely abandons the "hard plastic era," featuring a soft-touch dashboard, Nappa-textured plastic, and 64-color ambient lighting. A 12.9-inch screen powered by a Snapdragon 8155 processor supports CarPlay, HiCar, and ICCOA Carlink wireless mapping. Voice control allows for instant window opening and climate control, offering a level of technology comparable to other
new energy vehicles in the same price range, without the need to search for charging stations.
The powertrain options include a 2.0L gasoline engine and a fifth-generation intelligent electric hybrid: the gasoline version delivers 126kW with a CVT, offering smooth and fuel-efficient performance; the hybrid version boasts a combined system output of 147kW, a WLTC fuel consumption of 4.56L/100km, and requires only 92-octane gasoline. On the highway, the engine speed is 200rpm lower than the previous model, resulting in a remarkably quiet ride that might make rear passengers wonder if they've mistakenly boarded an electric vehicle. The chassis retains the front MacPherson strut and rear torsion beam design, but the springs and shock absorbers have been rematched, resulting in crisp and clean handling over speed bumps and tight body control during high-speed lane changes, maintaining Toyota's signature "stable yet not sluggish" ride.
For those seeking a daily driver that doesn't require charging, boasts exceptional fuel economy, and keeps up with current smart technology trends, this vehicle delivers an experience approaching that of the electric era using the simple logic of a gasoline car.
