Loulan is also a derivative of the mid-level sedan, it is the same as the Teana from Nissan's D platform, the first generation of Loulan was launched in the United States in 2002, and the third generation of Loulan produced by Dongfeng Nissan is currently on sale in China.
 
The pricing of the previous generation of domestic Loulan was too high and low, but fortunately, this generation of Loulan has readjusted its positioning and has now become a mid-size SUV with very mainstream sales in the Chinese market.
 
The Loulan currently on sale has two powertrain options, one is the 2.5L CVT on the X-Trail and Teana, and the other is a hybrid led by a 2.5L supercharged engine. Compared with Toyota or Honda's "strong hybrid", this hybrid system does not have too many advanced technology and amazing fuel consumption data, it is mainly used for rapid acceleration and frequent start-stop in urban congestion, especially for congested road conditions The fuel consumption performance is still improved.
 
However, although Loulan uses the electric motor to improve fuel consumption, it is not perfect in the configuration, because the capacity of the battery is relatively weak, so it is difficult for the motor to intervene alone.
 
Loulan has the usual comfort and quietness of Nissan cars, and its power is combed extremely smoothly, no matter how you step on the accelerator, you can hardly feel the feeling of power pushing or pulling, and you rarely even hear the engine sound. In addition to good sound insulation, the Bose sound system with active noise cancellation also contributes to the quietness of the cabin, although the driver cannot decide whether to turn on noise cancellation or not, but when driving this car, probably few people want to listen to the roar of the engine.
 
The riding feeling of Loulan is very similar to the raised version of the Ethereal, first, there are very soft "zero gravity" seats, and second, the shock filtering action can give people a sense of softness. Similar to the Highlander, the Loulan chassis is very good at softening and defusing road impacts, and can always be quiet, but its toughness does not seem to be as good as that of Highlander, especially in cornering performance is obviously not as good as Highlander's confidence.
 
Loulan's slender body only offers a five-seat option, so the rear seat is a big advantage for Loulan, and the legroom is so large that it can easily cross the legs of a medium-sized person. Moreover, the angle of the backrest of the rear seat of Loulan can be adjusted steplessly, and the backward amplitude is very large, large enough to achieve semi-reclining, but it should be noted that it adopts a design similar to an airline seat, and the seat cushion will also move forward while the backrest lies down, and the leg and headroom cannot be in a very luxurious state at the same time.
 
In terms of quality, Loulan's performance is not bad, according to the big data statistics of the American consumer report, the failure rate of Loulan within six years is very low, and the transmission and driving system failure of Loulan will occur in about ten years, but the gap between its reliability level and Highlander is still quite large, and the failure rate of Loulan in the latest year is generally high. In addition, the hardness of the oil seal in the ABS controller of some Loulan automobile vehicles is insufficient, which may cause the brake fluid to leak into the internal circuit board of the part, causing the ABS warning light to light up. If it continues to be used, it may lead to short circuit ablation of the ABS circuit board in extreme cases, which is a potential safety hazard, and Nissan has recalled it.
 
Loulan's optional safety features include blind spot monitoring and fork warning, as well as forward collision warning and emergency braking. In the 2015~2017 IIHS crash test in the United States, Nissan Loulan scored excellent results in all basic items (frontal small-angle overlap collision, frontal moderate overlap collision, side impact, top impact, headrest and seat). Nissan Loulan, which added an active safety system, was awarded a TSP in 2015 and 2016 and a TSP in 2017, but did not participate in the co-pilot's small-area offset crash test.
