At the dawn of its release, the Nissan Siren model was a small compact van. But time after time, each new generation has increased in size. As a result, the car "grew" to a five-door seven- and eight-seater minivan.
Competition in the automotive market forced Nissan developers to mobilize all of their reserves and develop something that could withstand full-size
Japanese minivans. Nissan had to respond with dignity to the release by Toyota of its two new Noah and Voxi models. The result was a
Nissan Siren, a fifth-size
minivan (according to the Japanese classification), which simply had to stand on the same level with the famous Toyota.
Skeptics prophesied to the new minivan only a secondary role, believing that the model would not gain due popularity. However, now it is sold monthly with a circulation of more than 5,000 cars and is in good demand.
Exterior design of the Nissan Siren
In the modern appearance of the minivan, small changes have affected the front trim, bumper, rear doors and rear lights. Although all the elements are made in a diverse style, they are harmoniously combined with each other and look very stylish. In a modern manner, door opening has been done. Now they do not swing open, requiring a certain space, but smoothly slide to the side.
Model interiorCompared with the previous version, in the updated minivan, designers removed small elements that irritated the look. The instrument panel has become clearer and more informative, the decoration is discreet, but of high quality. The seats are spacious and comfortable. The driver's seat can comfortably accommodate even a very well-fed person.
Developers of the Nissan Siren paid special attention to ergonomic controls. The air conditioner is now controlled not only by buttons on the remote control, but also by lightweight disc handles. The upper part of the dashboard has a special compartment for installing the monitor. The main controls are located so that to turn on and off a system does not require unnecessary movements. Everything is at hand.
Vehicle Specifications
If the predecessor of the minivan was equipped with both a gasoline and a diesel unit, then after restyling the Nissan Siren diesel disappeared from the lineup. Now the model is available with only one two-liter gasoline engine. At first glance, the engine's potential is 137 liters. from. not associated with a big car. But we must pay tribute to the engineering department of the Nissan company - a perfectly selected continuously variable transmission with improved speed parameters gives the car such dynamics that it literally presses the driver and passengers into the seats.
The automaker hopes that the hybrid version of the Nissan Siren, which appeared this year, will be able to replace the diesel version of the minivan. The fact is that agreement on this issue has not yet been reached. Europe gravitates to diesel engines, and in Japan, circumstances are not in favor of heavy fuel power plants.
Judging by the presented modifications, the Nissan Siren 4x4 will also not appear in the updated version. Fans of all-wheel drive cars will have to be content with previous releases. In the new version, all the forces of the developers were cast on car capacity and comfort.
