#热波quchuangsai# Spring is blooming, which is a good time for self-driving travel. But in the face of new cars springing up like mushrooms after a rain, how should consumers choose? In the 200,000-class household SUV segment, where the "big kings" gather together, consumers seem to have more and more difficult choices: when choosing a new force, they are worried about quality stability and long-term reliability; when choosing a traditional joint venture, they are afraid that intelligence and comfort will not keep up with the times. Recently, I had an in-depth test drive of the Dongfeng Nissan NX8, a brand-new masterpiece officially defined as a "200,000-class five-seat smart and comfortable SUV". I found that the joint venture brand has already used the three core strengths of "big brand, big space, and big wisdom" to give a pragmatic answer that takes into account quality, comfort and intelligence. As a Nissan S A new energy SUV built on the Tianyan Architecture 2.0, NX8 offers pure electric and extended-range dual-power versions. The entire series focuses on a "large five-seater" layout, accurately meeting the core needs of family users with "C seats in every seat". After a week of in-depth experience, from city commuting to weekend outings, from taking the family to long-distance self-driving, I deeply feel that every product feature of NX8 accurately addresses the pain points of family SUVs. Today, follow the editor's lens to see how strong this new car is?

Today, follow the editor's lens to see how strong this new car is?
Appearance: Simple and high-end, with details full of household ingenuity
The NX8 gives me an intuitive feeling of being "clean and neat". It does not use the exaggerated lines that are popular at the moment. Instead, it uses a closed front face with a 2.4-meter star-ring penetrating light strip, a light-emitting LOGO and a hidden door handle. It retains the technological sense of a new energy vehicle without losing the steady temperament of a joint venture brand. Among the six available car colors, Nebula White and Morino Blue are especially suitable for home users, showing high-end in a low-key manner.
The 2064 light curtain taillights at the rear of the car are illuminated and the light groups are arranged in a regular manner, supporting customized light language. When unlocking at night, it is like a "welcoming ceremony", filling the sense of ceremony. The body size is 4870×1920×1680mm, and the wheelbase is 2917mm. The visually coordinated proportions not only ensure the space inside the car, but also avoid the "bloated feeling". It is flexible enough for parking in the community and traveling through the city, and can be easily controlled by female car owners. In addition, the details are more attentive. The hidden water-cut design makes the side of the car body simpler, the frameless doors enhance the sense of luxury, and the interior is made of maternal and infant-grade healthy materials (CAERC 0 formaldehyde certification), which is particularly reassuring for families with children.
Space: 83% room availability rate, redefining the "Big Five"
If the appearance is "good impression at first sight", then the space performance of NX8 is "you will fall in love after sitting in it". Relying on the highly integrated design of Tianyan Architecture 2.0, NX8 has achieved an ultra-high occupancy rate of 83%. The 2917mm wheelbase is converted into an effective indoor length of 1934mm, and the rear knee room reaches 760mm. I am 182cm tall, and I can easily cross my legs when sitting in the back row. The flat floor design makes the middle passenger no longer "suffocated", and three adults can remain comfortable while sitting side by side.
The storage capacity is also outstanding. The 773L trunk can accommodate 13 20-inch suitcases, which can accommodate strollers, camping equipment, and family luggage. The 95L front trunk exclusive to the pure electric version can place charging cables and odds and ends to avoid trunk clutter. There are 22 storage compartments in the car, and the door panels can hold milk bottles and thermos cups. The central armrest box can store children's wipes, so the "little troubles" of traveling with children can be properly solved.
Seat comfort is a standard feature of Nissan's "sofa factory". The AI Zero Pressure Cloud Blanket Seat 2.0 is equipped with 53 high-precision sensors, which can automatically adjust air bag support according to body pressure. Both the driver and passenger support ventilation, heating, and massage. The rear seats can be adjusted to a 133° electric recliner angle. With the fit of 53 sensors, families can "lie flat" in the back to rest during long trips without suffering from back pain. In particular, there is a small regret, that is, the rear seats can only be folded down as a whole. The flexibility is slightly weaker when hauling long items, but it requires a little force to reset, which may not be friendly to female users.
Great Wisdom: AI Comfort Five-piece Set, Intelligent Service and Comfort
The "intelligent shortcomings" of joint venture cars in the past have been made up for in the NX8. Relying on the SOA+AI electronic and electrical architecture, NX8 achieves millisecond-level response and multi-domain OTA upgrades, and the "AI Comfort Five-piece Set" transforms smart technology into a real comfortable experience. The AI cockpit is equipped with the NISSAN OS system. The five-screen linkage includes the central control screen, instrument screen, HUD, passenger screen, and rear control screen. Together with the large HUD head-up display, navigation, vehicle speed, and driving information are clear at a glance, reducing the frequency of looking down at the screen. The voice assistant "Xiao Ni" supports more than 700 smart scenes, and has extremely high accuracy in continuous dialogue and fuzzy command recognition. When driving, you can adjust the air conditioner, switch music, and set navigation with just "Xiao Ni", completely freeing your hands.
At the same time, the AI senseless wind control system can recognize the position of the face to prevent cold wind from blowing directly on the body, which is particularly friendly to the elderly and children; the AI tuning master can adjust the 25-speaker Dolby Atmos sound effect according to personal preferences, creating an immersive sound field whether you are listening to classical music or pop songs; the double-door smart refrigerator supports a wide range of adjustment from -6°C to 55°C, with iced mineral water in the summer and warm milk in the winter, making it convenient for the whole family to use. The forgotten reminder function prevents food from spoiling.
In terms of intelligent driving assistance, NX8 has in-depth cooperation with Momenta. The car uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295P chip. The high-end model is equipped with 29 high-sensing sensors including lidar, supporting high-speed NOA and urban NOA pilot assistance. On the high-speed section of the test drive, the NOA system can accurately identify lane lines, automatically change lanes to overtake, and pass ramps smoothly. When encountering a large car, it will automatically fine-tune the lateral distance, giving a sense of security. The memory parking function is extremely friendly to narrow parking spaces. After learning the route once, the vehicle can automatically drive from the basement entrance to the memory parking space, making it easy for novices to park.
Power and driving control: dual power options are available, and anti-motion sickness is a highlight
NX8 offers pure electric and extended-range dual-power versions, covering different vehicle usage scenarios. The pure electric version is equipped with an 800V silicon carbide platform and 5C supercharging technology. The 81-degree CATL lithium iron phosphate battery CLTC has a range of 650km. It only takes 12 minutes to charge 10%-80% quickly. It can last 300km after 6 minutes of charging. It is enough to charge once a week for urban commuting, and the energy replenishment efficiency for long-distance travel is comparable to that of fuel vehicles. The extended-range version is equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender and a 43.2-kW CATL battery. The CLTC pure electric range is 310km, which is enough for a week's commuting in the city. The comprehensive range is 1,450km, and the fuel consumption is only 4.51L/100km. During the test drive, there was almost no feeling when the range extender was involved, and the interior of the car always maintained library-level silence.
Looking at the chassis adjustment, the front MacPherson + rear multi-link independent suspension filters out vibrations cleanly and flexibly when passing speed bumps, and the body has no unnecessary bounce. What’s surprising is the “anti-motion sickness 3.0” technology, which uses AI algorithms to adjust the car’s posture in advance and cover a variety of motion sickness conditions. During the test drive, mothers who are prone to motion sickness were specially allowed to sit in the back seat. No symptoms of dizziness or nausea occurred during the whole process. Official data shows that this technology can reduce the probability of motion sickness by 80%-90%. It is a “necessary configuration” for home users and is too friendly for mothers with severe motion sickness.
Safety and quality: Endorsed by major manufacturers, peace of mind is the last word
As Dongfeng Nissan's S-type new energy SUV, 70% of the NX8 body is made of high-strength steel, and the A-pillar is made of 2000 MPa submarine-grade steel, which has excellent collision energy absorption effect; Cloud Shield Battery 2.0 adopts a 12-grid super-strong support structure and supports 24-hour cloud monitoring. In addition, what is reassuring is the "spontaneous combustion guarantee" policy in the pre-sale rights: no limit on the first car owner, no limit on the warranty period, and no limit on whether it is scrapped. This confidence in battery safety is proof of the quality of major manufacturers.
After a test drive, Nissan NX8 gave me a great impression that it does not have the exaggerated gimmicks of new forces, but it has achieved the ultimate in space, comfort, safety, and energy consumption that home users care about; it has made up for the shortcomings of joint venture brands in intelligence, and used AI technology to truly serve the driving experience. With a budget of 200,000, if you want a family SUV that combines brand reliability, superior space, smart comfort and efficient power, NX8 may be a choice worth paying attention to at the moment. Currently, the NX8 show car and test drive have arrived at the store. It is recommended that home users who are choosing a car go to the store to experience it in person, which is more realistic than any parameter.
