The Nissan Teana, which made its debut at the Auto China 2008 in Beijing, is now on sale at dealers across Japan. First shown at the Tokyo Motor Show last year as the Intima concept, Nissan plans to sell only 1000 models per month in the Japanese market - the company's ultimate goal will be its success in the Chinese market.

Nissan claims that with its modern styling, impressive ride comfort and thoughtful appointments for all passengers, the Teana has been designed and engineered to provide lasting value in a modern luxury sedan. With exterior styling defined by a unique body sideline dropping when reaching the rear of the vehicles, large DLO and Ford Fiesta'esque' headlamps, running deep over the hood parting line, the Teana will be marketed under the tagline of "SHIFT_hospitality," clearly indicating that the vehicle is targeted to families looking for affordable luxury.

Two types of powertrain will be offered, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder and a larger 3.5-liter V6.
