  • VOW Concept Promises a World of Wonder and Excellence

    Venucia VOW Concept Front ViewDFL-PV is short for Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company and it is a result of the combined forces of Nissan and Dongfeng Motor Group. They have devoted their efforts to develop and distribute passenger vehicles. Well, Venucia is company’s name which is a result of this joint venture and which literally stands for the ancient Roman word for “Venus”.

    At the front of any Venucia car we see the five stars that are a representation of company’s promises: respect customers, create value, do the best, achieve world-class quality and seek the dream. These values have been embodied in the VOW concept car that is currently on display in Shanghai.

    The vehicle is a modern and sports-oriented crossover that just like the Lannia has been developed with the aim to attract young customers. In this case, the name VOW stands for the abbreviation of “Venucia Over Wonder” and it comes to signify that the car strives for excellence.

    We see Nissan’s bold design here as well as a bright blue body color, which has been inspired by Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni. If you are unfamiliar, this is a high plateau near the crest of the Andes Mountains that has these beautiful fresh and saltwater lakes and the world’s largest salt flat.

    There aren’t many details released about the VOW concept, but we see that it mixes dynamism and elegance. At the front there are full LED headlights and huge grille and they both remind me of Infiniti’s SUVs. At the back, the taillights also include LEDs, while the most important feature of the sides are the huge alloys and the cameras in the place of rearview mirrors.

    There are no words on a production version of the car, but it will be probably the best thing for the Venucia brand, since this is one of the best looking vehicles in the line-up.

  • Dongfeng Nissan Launches the All-Electric Venucia e30

    Venucia is absolutely new brand – a product of the Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company (DFL–PV). It is part of Nissan’s global platform and will be specifically built for the Chinese market. Now the brand is introducing its fifth vehicle, the e30, which in holds credentials for affordability and pure electric-vehicle-experience. The car was unveiled just a few days ago. The model was locally developed through Nissan’s careful studies about market situations and consumer needs in China.

    To go further into details, the Venucia e30 achieves an optimal balance between driving range, affordability and convenient charging. For instance, the running costs for e30 are only about one-seventh of gasoline models of the same grade. This result is due to e30’s energy consumption at only 0.146kWh/km.

    Furthermore, both normal-charge and quick-charge options are also available. Thanks to them the e30 can run about 60km on a quick-charge of only five minutes. The quality and safety of e30 have been validated by the five million kilometer failure-free pilot program, accumulated by more than 300 cars on the roads of Guangzhou, Xiangyang and Dalian.

    Brand’s name – Venucia, is very special and is derived from the ancient Roman goddess Venus. Her functions encompassed love, beauty, fertility and prosperity. The five stars of the brand logo represent company’s five promises: respect to customers, creation of value, always doing the best, achieving world-class quality and constantly seeking the dream.
    Venucia e30 is expected to be available nationwide in 2015 at a starting price of RMB 267,800.
