Venucia D60 Plus[edit]

A major facelift dubbed the D60 Plus was launched for the 2021 model year, featuring a completely redesigned front end in the same style as the Venucia Xing. The power configuration of the D60 Plus remains to be the original Nissan-sourced technology, the HR16 1.6 liter engine mated to a 5-speed manual transmission or CVT gearbox. The redesign resulted in a body size increase of 5 mm (0.2 in) in length.[6]

It was revealed during the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show alongside the T60EV electric crossover,[7] and available to the market in September 2019.

Based on the D60, the D60EV been completely redesigned in the position of front grille, the lower bumper, fog lights, and rear bumper. The D60EV design previews the following D60 facelift. For the D60EV, the closed front grille design has become the standard for new energy vehicles, and the arrow-shaped fog light design is the most significant update of the entire fascia. The redesign resulted in a new length of 4,764 mm (187.6 in) and the electric drivetrain result in a new height of 1,494 mm (58.8 in). The D60EV is offered in three trim levels, with a price range of 137,800 to 153,800 yuan (~US$19,185 – US$21,412).[8]
