From Qingyan Ancient Town to Hongfeng Lake, happily test drive the Venucia V and Venucia Star

When the media arrived one after another at the Wenfan Zhuangyuan Villa in Qingyan Ancient Town, it was already the time when the lanterns were first lit. During the late Qing Dynasty, a number one scholar came out of Qingyan Ancient Town. His name was Zhao Yijiong. In Guizhou, which has a relatively poor history of literature and art, to be able to produce a champion is a major event that makes every village in the country and even Guizhou as a whole proud. Today's Wenfan Zhuangyuan Villa in Guiyang is a luxury theme hotel renovated on the basis of Zhao Yijiong's former residence.

After the buffet dinner, the organizer prepared a brief test drive briefing for the next day’s event. Putting aside the usual product introductions and test drive process instructions, two points mentioned by Wu Yue, chief product expert of the Product Planning Department of Dongfeng Nissan Venucia Business Headquarters, particularly impressed the media present: First, product design needs to have an underlying logic. , all functions should be based on this underlying logic, and "happiness" is the underlying logic of Dongfeng Nissan Venucia's car-making; secondly, it is impossible to be happy all the time in life, and maybe 90% of it is unhappy, and only 10% of it is unhappy. % is the truly precious happiness. What Venucia brand models pursue is to take good care of and give full play to these 10% happiness in the owner's life.

After any type of product becomes popular on a large scale, homogeneity is an inevitable problem. Taking cars as an example, all brands can only innovate and change within a limited space in terms of appearance, interior, space, configuration, power, and chassis. How to create differentiation? It’s nothing more than weighing and making trade-offs on all the features that can be stacked on the model within a limited cost budget. How to choose? You have to have a basis, and this basis is probably the so-called underlying logic of building a car. For example, Venucia, since it takes happiness as the underlying logic of its model development, will try its best to keep all the elements that can bring happiness to car owners and amplify happiness in the car. For example, the appearance should be cool and eye-catching, but the interior should be simple. Relaxation, the driving experience should focus on comfort, and the configuration should retain as many entertainment functions as in-car KTV, etc. There are still quite a lot of details to talk about.

I recalled my impression of Dongfeng Nissan Venucia. Indeed, this brand seems to have used happiness as a background from the day it was born, throughout its model design and marketing activities. all aspects. It is precisely based on this background that this "Looking for Happy Small Town Life" Dongfeng Nissan Venucia SUV Gemini test drive event was held. The invitation letter said it well: If "Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen" are the face of the Chinese people, then the vast number of small towns and cities are the face of the Chinese people. Compared with the busy traffic in big cities, you may find more leisurely happiness in small towns. Savor the natural scenery, read about the ingenious culture, taste the special food, travel around the world of fireworks, and discover the beauty of the small town.

The SUV twin stars composed of Venucia V and Venucia will gradually enter beautiful towns such as Nan'ao Island, Qingyan Ancient Town, Gongjia Village, Longhui, etc., through 8 unique vehicles scattered across the country. Representative characteristic small towns, from south to north, will lead you one by one to discover the most authentic happiness of small town life, and at the same time experience the product value of the 2023 Venucia Gemini SUV, which is "fun to drive and enjoyable to ride". Qingyan Ancient Town, the "happy place to explore" on this site, is the first national 5A tourist attraction in Guiyang City. It not only has the cultural blessing of the former residence of the number one scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, but also has famous local specialties such as rose ice powder, cake porridge, number one scholar's hoof, etc. It also made friends from the media who came all the way from other provinces linger in admiration.

After a night’s rest in Wenfan Zhuangyuan’s villa, maybe I was exposed to the spiritual energy of Zhuangyuanlang. Early the next morning, I felt refreshed and the weather had cleared away the bad weather for many days. The rain continued, revealing the blue sky and white clouds. The test drive team drove out of Qingyan Ancient Town and headed towards Hongfeng Lake. What I got was a test drive of Venucia. Both Venucia V and Venucia are equipped with a 1.5T high-efficiency engine, matched with a 7DCT gearbox, with a maximum power of 140kw and a peak torque of 260N·m. For Gemini, this is a sufficient power system, and its performance in mid-range acceleration is particularly outstanding. This is also in line with the introduction of chief product expert Wu Yue at the test drive briefing the night before: According to a large number of home user surveys, what users most often use is the vehicle’s speed-increasing performance in the speed range of 40-80km/h, so The power system of the Venucia Gemini SUV has been specially adjusted for this stage, that is, the mid-range acceleration performance.

In addition to the same power system, compared to the Venucia Grand V, the slightly higher-positioned Venucia has a wider and more comfortable interior space and richer configurations.

Dongfeng Nissan Venucia is an independent brand launched by a joint venture car company, so from it you can not only see the characteristics of an independent brand with high configuration levels, but also see the shadow of Japanese cars in terms of driving quality. Compared with some joint venture independent brands in the early years that directly applied the old model platform of the joint venture parent brand for secondary development, today's Dongfeng Nissan Venucia models are all developed through forward research and development, so these models regardless of From the exterior to the interior, you can hardly see the shadow of the parent brand Dongfeng Nissan. Only after you get started driving it, you vaguely feel that this is still a Japanese car. What does it feel like? The chassis is adjusted to be soft but not cluttered, gentle, comfortable, light and easy to drive.

After more than an hour’s drive, we arrived at the first check-in point: Hongfeng Lakeside Youer Village. It is adjacent to the famous Gui'an Cherry Blossom Garden. Although the cherry blossoms have not yet bloomed at this time, the fields of rapeseed flowers in the mountains have already revealed the breath of spring. Combined with the colorful exterior walls of the buildings in Youer Village, the place is still full of life. It has a romantic temperament just like Hayao Miyazaki's fairy tale world. My media colleague and car companion Sister Dongdong couldn't help but let herself go and made a guest appearance as a car model for us.

After taking perfect photos in Youer Village, we went to the nearby Jinxinjingyan Agricultural Tourism Experience Park to visit and have lunch. The restaurant staff welcomed us with a beautiful dance they learned and performed by themselves, in the middle of the clear mountains and beautiful waters, in the afternoon The time has become softer like this.

The driver was changed on the way back, and I was able to enjoy the comfort of the queen’s passenger seat in the passenger seat of Vesuvius, with electric leg rests, four-way lumbar support and massage function. Effectively relieved the fatigue for half a day.

In the afternoon we returned to Longjing Buyi Village near Qingyan Ancient Town, where we experienced the intangible inheritance "bean dyeing" technique. For our local media, the batik, tie-dye, bean dyeing and other skills of Guizhou ethnic minorities are actually similar, and the novelty is no longer so strong. However, for media friends from other provinces who come from afar, the ethnic customs here obviously make them look for it again. To the joy.

Due to personal matters, I missed the happy dinner that day. I heard that Dongfeng Nissan Venucia specially created a "Happy Blind Box" interesting session for this event. Every media member who participated in the test drive Everyone will prepare a gift that represents happiness in their hearts and write happy blessings; Dongfeng Nissan Venucia, as the "happy messenger", will package these gifts into "happy blind boxes" and pass them to the next stop media, thus linking The beautiful magnetic field between small towns allows happiness to continue to heat up as they are passed on to each other.

It is worth mentioning that as the pioneer and practitioner of Dongfeng Nissan's new energy, the Venucia brand has always adhered to the exploration of rejuvenation, electrification and intelligence. It was unveiled at the Guangzhou Auto Show last year. Two new new energy vehicles: the first new concept car based on the Venucia V-π native pure electric platform - Venucia Ve concept, and the first Venucia V DD- equipped with Venucia DD-i super hybrid technology i super hybrid officially started the comprehensive transformation of Dongfeng Nissan Venucia into the new energy field.

After transforming towards new energy, Dongfeng Nissan Venucia will also start a happy new journey for the brand in 2023. Through this "Looking for Happy Small Town Life" SUV Gemini test drive event, you will find that the happiness that Venucia advocates is actually that simple.
