Design
With its modern styling, impressive ride comfort and thoughtful appointments for all passengers, the Teana has been designed and engineered to provide lasting value in a modern luxury sedan. New Teana will be marketed under the tagline of "SHIFT_hospitality," reflecting its new dimension of hospitality, superb comfort and quiet, roomy interior.
Teana’s body side treatment blends richly flared body panels with boldly curved lines. The elegant, six-light windows are designed to emphasize the luxurious space of the interior. The outside mirrors are also optimally shaped to minimize wind noise and the side moldings are executed in a sword motif, imparting a sense of fine quality. In the rear, the combination lights’ sculpted forms project outward from the body, creating an impressive, wide-looking rear view. The rear bumper provides a feeling of stability and premium quality.
Interiors
Luxury is just one word that can define the Teana. Its leather upholstery and 8-way electronically powered front driver's seat will have you enjoying a relaxing drive all day long. It has a turning radius of 5.3 meters that gives you absolute control over the car. The Teana is longer than most cars in its segment and it has a wide wheelbase that improves its interior space and stability. However, it has a lower ground clearance that may make it difficult to speed over large bumps.
The wooden interiors and the stylish dashboard caress you like you would be in the lap of luxury. The cockpit is not only visually appealing but also carefully designed to deliver ultimate convenience and ease of use to the driver and all passengers concerned. The information console provides you with complete visual confirmation of air conditioning settings, outside temperature, audio system and time, as well as it allows you to monitor the drive computer. A well designed visual instrumentation with high-contrast white illumination assures maximum visibility.
The large speedometer is further enhanced by a silver-coloured ring that cannot escape your notice. A one-of-its-kind rear power sunshade keeps the sunlight and glare away from rear passengers without blocking the driver's rear vision while also maintaining the temperature you set within the cabin of the car.
Engine
Under the hood of the Teana's bonnet lies a robust and smooth 2349cc VQ23DE V6 petrol engine that has been acclaimed as one of the "Ten Best Engines" by Ward's Auto World magazine for 13 consecutive years. This engine produces a massive power of 182 Bhp at 6000 rpm and a torque of 228 Nm at 4400 rpm giving you the lightning streak pick-up on highways and clearing the roads for you in cities. It has 6-speed Automatic Transmission that you can govern with the touch of a single finger.
A Multi-Point Fuel Injection system allows for the optimal power generation in the engine, thereby improving its fuel-economy. It rides on independent struts of ball-joint type suspension in the front and multi-link type suspension in the rear which absorb all kinds of road irregularities. It comes with 16-inch tyres and aluminium alloy wheels as standard fitment and it has a revolutionary multilink suspension that smoothens out the most stubborn of bumps. Extra legroom allows you to stretch and relax while enjoying a long drive.
Safety
Teana is designed to absorb impact. It features crushable zones and a safety restraint zone that work together with multiple Supplemental Restraint System airbags to avoid or reduce injuries, in case of an accident. Wearing seatbelts at all times is advisable. In a collision, active head restraints instantly move forward to support the head and reduce impact on the neck.
Standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control, drive computer, twin exhaust, 8-way electrically powered driver’s seat, 4-way electrically powered front passenger’s seat, powered rear sun shade, active head rests, and 6 CD changer with 6 audio speakers.
