A Review of Dongfeng’s New Paladin SUV: Class Attributes, Engine Specs, and Similarities to Nissan X-Terra

Finally, Dongfeng will offer a large Paladin SUV with the main attributes of the class: a frame, a solid rear axle, and rigidly connected all-wheel drive. True, there is no downshift, the clearance is 215 mm, and the engine is a two-liter gasoline engine with 228 horsepower, because diesel engines are rare in China. The transmission is an eight-speed automatic. But the car is actually a copy of the Nissan X-Terra, which itself was created on the basis of the popular Navara pickup truck. The lack of a diesel engine will likely reduce interest in a car of this class, but otherwise the niche of large SUVs in Russia is still relatively free.
