Dongfeng Nissan Venucia V DD-i -Hybrid PHEV

【Fuel Consumption】
The third picture shows what I consider the most intuitive reflection of fuel consumption and electricity consumption for the hybrid model. I still have some doubts whether it can be this low now. The frequency of refueling is indeed less than that of the previous pure fuel vehicle, and previously when driving a fuel vehicle, I was most afraid of traffic jams because the fuel consumption would increase when stuck in traffic. On the contrary, for this model, the more traffic jams, the higher the electricity consumption and the lower the fuel consumption. Basically, I charge the hybrid model every 3 days to keep the battery level above half. If you want to save fuel, you can't save electricity—after all, energy is conserved.

The appearance is very avant-garde. I don't see much of the traces of Venucia and Nissan in it. It might be Venucia's next-generation design language.

【Driving Experience】
I'm a bit afraid of traffic jams when driving. To maintain range and fuel consumption, I force myself to use the one-pedal mode, which I'm not used to. The regenerative braking force is sometimes strong and sometimes weak. It still takes some time to master this magical dragging force.
The chassis texture is just so-so; it feels a bit soft. It would be better if it could be adjusted to be stiffer.

The all-electric DDI meets expectations for its price range in terms of acceleration and overall performance, and the fuel consumption is quite friendly when in low battery mode! However, the accelerator pedal vibrates for the first minute after the engine starts, which is probably due to the engine just starting up. The automatic parking feature needs specific parking spaces to work well; anyway, I've used it a few times and it's only okay in large parking lots, but it's rather clumsy in private parking spaces or underground parking lots.

I remain quite rational about malfunctions. On my way back to my hometown this time, there was an air conditioning fault: it wouldn't blow air on the front windshield, making it impossible to defog. I immediately contacted the 4S shop, and they promptly arranged for me to get off the highway and go to the nearest repair point. The 4S technicians, together with the manufacturer's engineers, assisted me remotely to solve the problem, and it was fixed within 2 hours. I'm quite satisfied with that.

The infotainment system has always been a诟病, and there's nothing I can do about it. To be honest, Baidu Maps is a mixed bag, with both good and bad aspects, but I think it should be modified. At the very least, it shouldn't directly enter navigation as soon as it starts; I don't want to hear it chattering. I want to click on it when I need to use it, just like an app. After all, except when going to unfamiliar places or on highways, most people don't keep navigation on all the time. Also, if there are new friends buying a car, be sure to turn off the lane departure assist. Otherwise, it will fight with you for the steering wheel, which is a bit dangerous. Just having the usual alarm is fine; don't let it fight for the steering wheel, as its judgment is too rigid.

The appearance is good, the interior and space are also nice, and it has all the necessary configurations; it's just that some details could be further optimized. The battery life feels a bit short. The official claim is 110 kilometers, but in reality, it's only about 80 kilometers, so frequent charging is quite troublesome. It's said to support both fast and slow charging, but there's only a fast charging port and no slow charging port, which is very inconvenient and not very user-friendly for home use.

Also, personally, I don't like the sunroof design. It can't be opened. When resting in the car at night, you can't see anything when you look up. It would be better if it were changed to a skylight. When going out and resting in the car at night, you could open the window to look at the stars and so on.

Then there's the car's navigation. The built-in Baidu Navigation is really bad and often leads to wrong routes. Today, my girlfriend and I wanted to navigate to a place to play in the water. The navigation took us to a small road and told us to turn left, but there was no road on the left, yet it kept telling us to turn left. This was really frustrating. It would be better if it could be replaced with Tencent Navigation.
