shown in October 2007. The car was launched in Japan, Taiwan, India, Iran, Mauritius, Russia, China, Brunei, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Trinidad and Tobago, Thailand, Singapore, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand and Australia. This generation was not sold in Europe, where its French cousin, the Renault Laguna was offered, alongside the longer Renault Latitude. Nissan continues to offer an optionally available internet-based, telematics and GPS navigation system called CarWings to Japanese drivers only. From J32 and up, on Nissan Teana models, the car stereo system had a feature called Music Box that allowed users to record CDs and listen to them. This is the same case with the Maxima and Altima. The Teana shares most of the platform and mechanicals with its North American cousin, the Altima which is built and sold primarily in North America. The J32 has been sold in Australia as a Maxima since June 2009 with model designations of 250 ST-L, 350 ST-S and 350 Ti. These models have features unique to Australia and New Zealand including alloy wheel design, rear spoiler and interior upholstery fittings. In late 2011, all three Australian models received an equipment upgrade, with prices remaining unchanged. The Cefiro nameplate has been discontinued on the second-generation line. Specifications The second generation Teana utilized different engines, namely the MR20DE (successor of the QR series), VQ25DE and the VQ35DE, which was tweaked to produce 20 more PS. The Japanese-exclusive model, "FOUR" used a QR25DE engine. Third generation (L33; 2013) The third generation Teana was introduced in 2013 to some markets as a rebadged version of the North American L33 Altima.
