FactJapan's second-generation Teana offered four-wheel drive only with the four-cylinder engine, since packaging ruled it out for any V6.
Nissan revealed the second-generation Teana at the 2008 Beijing Auto Show, based on the Nissan D platform also used by the North American Nissan Maxima and Altima; its design was previewed by the Intima concept car shown in October 2007. Engine choices include a 3498 cc V6 (which required high octane gasoline), a 2495 cc V6, a 2488 cc inline-four and a 1997 cc inline-four, all with a continuously variable transmission. In Japan the sole I4 offered was the QR25DE 2488 cc, available only with four-wheel drive, since four-wheel drive was not available for V6 engines due to packaging constraints, and the 3.5-litre engine was discontinued there in January 2013. It was built in Kanda, Fukuoka, and in China, India, Iran, Malaysia, Russia, Taiwan and Thailand, and is called the Maxima in Australia and New Zealand.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
