2010 Nissan Dualis Ti

[VNS 24]

Hi everyone,

I have just bought a brand new 2010 Nissan Dualis Ti last week for a practical daily car.

Specifications:

• Engine: 2.0 litre, four cylinder
  
• Power: 102kW @ 5200rpm
  
• Torque: 198Nm @ 4400rpm
  
• Induction: Naturally aspirated, multi-point injection
  
• Transmission: CVT 6 speed automatic
  
• Driven Wheels: Front
  
• Brakes: Vented disc front, solid disc rear
  
• Top Speed: Not available
  
• 0-100km/h: 10.5 seconds
  
• CO2 Emissions: 192g/km
  
• Fuel Consumption: (ADR) 8.1 litres/100km
  
• Fuel Tank Capacity: 65 litres
  
• Fuel Type: 91RON
  
• ANCAP Rating: Five stars
  
• Airbags: Six
  
• Safety: ABS, EBD, BA, TC, ESC
  
• Spare Wheel: Full size steel
  
• Suspension: MacPherson strut front, Independent multi-link rear
  
• Cargo Capacity: 410 litres
  
• Tow Capacity: 685 unbraked, 1400kg braked
  
• Turning Circle: 10.6m
  
• Warranty: 3 years/100,000km (With additional 3 years warranty package + X-Pack protection package)
  
• Weight: 1450kg
  
• Wheels: 18-inch alloy – 215/55R18
  

Plans for it are bigger wheels (21inch and above) and a bodykit/lipkit (Aftermarket or custom-made).

If there is anyone on SAU that has experience in modifying this type of cars, please share some thoughts as I have no idea yet on perfect rims size (Offsets) or bodykit types if there's any out there.

Thanks in advance. Will post up photos after I get it in early December.

Yeah, they are small. But 2010 model is bigger than the older ones.

I am sure you can fit a normal single pram in there (We bought the car with that in mind too).

What did you compare it to Victor?

And why did the Dualis Ti win out?

Hi Terry,

I compared it to older models of Nissan Dualis, prior to 2010 models. Prior models got 352 litres of cargo capacity compare to 2010's 410 litres, with back seats up.

Interior wise, it's just a little bit spacier. Exterior wise, it's a lot better looking with different headlights, grille, etc.

Are you happy with fuel consumption at 8.1?

What if it's fully loaded or with A/C going?

The best I can get out of the Forester on the hwy without engaging turbo, but with A/C is 9.9.

I haven't really compare Dualis's fuel consumption to other cars.

All I know at the moment is it is better than out-going models (8.2ltr/100kms). But from what I read on reports online, they do about 8.6ltr/100kms in a manual. So mine should be around that, as I got the 2WD, not AWD model which is rated more in fuel consumption.

I will post up after I drive around and see the outcome.

Fuel economy isn't one of Subaru's strong suits. Never has been.

My brother in law manages a Nissan dealership, and brought a Dualis up from NSW once on holidays. He was very unimpressed with its highway capabilities, and said it was very underpowered for the type of car it is. Hope the new ones are better.

Oh, 21" wheels?

I think all Nissan Dualis (2007-2010) that come to Australia have the same engine which is 2.0-litre four cylinder engine (petrol only), and it makes 102kW at 5,200rpm and 198Nm of torque at 4400rpm. In UK, they are sold as Nissan Qashqai and they have choices in engines (1.6L petrol, 2.0L petrol, 1.5L diesel, 2.0L diesel). Yes, it is very underpowered for small SUV. It was a suitable choice for me as I don't want another large fuel consumption car for daily drive.

For the wheels, I am thinking either 20 inch or 21 inch as Dualis is not as big as Nissan Murano which is ok for 22 inch plus. I would like to know what offsets and width that would be perfect for the Dualis.

Hi everyone,

I will be picking up my Nissan Dualis on 8-12-10 (Wednesday) and I am very excited. I will post up photos as well.

Also, I want to know if there's any owners on SAU that has Nissan Dualis (or similar) as I want to learn and get more information of this type of car (concerning wheels package and bodykit/lip kit).

Thanks.

i wish Turbo X-trail had done done one of these up they have so much meaner stance than his tissue box on wheels..no offence TXT...But i have driven one and it felt like i was a kid that put wheels on dads empty Vb carton and was driving it around...

Dualis could actually look mean although 21 inch rims...you cant be serious...

That's ok, mate.

I wouldn't mind Nissan X-Trail. But we were in the market for brand new car and X-Trail was abit more expensive. So we decided to save that amount and go the Nissan Dualis.

And yes. I am serious with 21 inch rims, and possibly lower in the future. Do you think 21 inch is too big?

looks wise i reckon the dualis kills the x-trail..will 21s fit?

Be interesting to see anyway..

[NA_Goodness]

I am sure you can fit a normal single pram in there (We bought the car with that in mind too).

Are you hinting to something there, Victor?

[StealthX]

Tissue box on wheels?

Geee, thanks. lol

P.s. I chose my x-trail because IMO it was the clear winner in the medium SUV market, and with coilovers and some decent ride height, it'll look more stagea/forester/legnum like. That's what I'm goin for anyway.

[StealthX]

P.s. Keep in mind were comparing a 2010 style to a 2002 style if we're on the topic of my car...

Yeah. I am keeping my fingers crossed in finding the right style and size. If not, I wouldn't mind 20 inch as well.

We will see how it goes.

Haha, Rhys. Don't get me started on this again, mate. (You are like 5th person to ask me that kind of question. ).

Hi Cam, just want to say I like how you done up your X-Trail.

Like I said, I couldn't afford brand new X-Trail and do all the things I want to do later on. But I am happy with my Dualis. What coilovers and rims are you running on? Looks very nice.
