Nissan recently introduced the all-new Juke, a second-generation model of its popular subcompact crossover. However, upon closer inspection, we noticed that the Juke’s side profile looks oddly familiar. Yes, the Nissan Juke’s side profile looks oddly similar to the Toyota C-HR’s side profile, including the design of the C-pillar and the window line that slopes upwards. In fact, both the Nissan Juke and Toyota C-HR share a similar character line that flows from the front end to the front doors, a

Nissan has officially dropped the subcompact Juke crossover from its American lineup in 2018 and replaced it with a more conventional Kicks. This is not, however, a final goodbye of Nissan Juke to the world. The redesigned 2020 Juke will launch in Europe and later the rest of the world (except the U.S.) and will show a more conventional overall look. Thanks to a well-blending grille paired with the thin lamps atop, the new Juke will feature a more symmetrical front-end compared to the former unp

Nissan has pulled the covers off the all-new, fourth-generation 2021 Nissan X-Trail. The model was leaked via patent images back in April, subsequently bared all two weeks later. Exterior – Boldness is key Sold as the Nissan Rogue in the US, the all-new Nissan X-Trail gains a completely redesigned exterior, featuring a two-tier headlight design that is reminiscent of current Nissan models like the all-new Juke and Serena S-Hybrid. It also gains a more angular V-Motion front grille and cleverly-h

A few days ago, Nissan introduced the all-new 2021 Nissan X-Trail. The Nissan X-Trail is sold as the Nissan Rogue in North America. Let’s take a closer look at the differences. Exterior – More macho than before Unlike the suave lines of the T32-generation X-Trail, the all-new T33 X-Trail takes a more rugged and muscular approach. Although the all-new T33 X-Trail is built on the same CMF-CD platform like the outgoing T32-generation model, you can’t tell as the exterior has been completely revampe

As a company, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) have seen better days. Yes, the company still enjoys a strong market presence, especially in 4x4s and it’s still the only brand that’s in a position to challenge the Toyota Hilux's dominance, but it’s safe to say that company have long passed its peak. More than 100 ago, Mitsubishi Motors’ predecessor, the Mitsubishi zaibatsu conglomerate built Japan’s first series production car – the Model A, which was a copy of the Fiat Tipo 3. At its peak, th

Nissan’s new COO Ashwani Gupta is sitting on a hot seat, with an unenviable task of cleaning up the mess left behind by Carlos Ghosn, the former Chairman and CEO of Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance. Formerly the COO of Mitsubishi Motor, Gupta was appointed to Nissan in August 2019, and has been tasked with pulling Nissan out of the rut and his immediate priority is to stabilize and strengthen Nissan’s business by focusing on its core markets of USA, China, and Japan.

When it comes to modifying cars, the sky is the limit. We’ve seen big engines fitted onto some of the hottest supercars and hypercars and even heard of epic engine swaps by tuners. Our BM colleague even compiled a list of some awesome engine swaps ever transferred onto a Proton. But this list isn’t about the aftermarket scene, rather we’re focusing on some maddening engine swaps offered by manufacturers from the factory. No, we’re not simply taking one-offs or special skunk work projects, that w

Nissan Almera Secara jujurnya, Nissan Almera yang ada pada jalan raya sekarang bukanlah sebuah model yang boleh dibanggakan oleh ETCM. Model ini dilihat sekadar sebuah kenderaan yang sesuai untuk bergerak dari titik A ke titik B tanpa sebarang ciri-ciri yang menonjol. Penawaran hanya 2 beg udara dan rekaan yang langsung tak menarik membawa kepada sentimen-sentimen yang tidak baik untuk dibincangkan. Model generasi ke 3 ini sememangnya kalah dalam persaingan Honda City dan Toyota Vios yang jauh l

The all-new Nissan Leaf is now available in Malaysia. Available in just one high-specification variant, the second generation Leaf is priced at RM 188,888. The fully electric (BEV or Battery Electric Vehicle) Leaf now comes with a 40 kWh lithium-ion battery, which gives it an ample 311 km driving range (when tested under the ECE R101 New European Driving Cycle, NEDC). Nissan distributor Edaran Tan Chong Motor is keen to point out that most Malaysians don’t drive more than 200 km per day and thus

Sayangnya, cadangan beliau itu dilihat tidak memberi kesan kepada masalah yang paling utama. Makoto Uchida turut menyal

To some, the Nissan Almera is an easy target to hate on – it’s far from being good-looking, and rivals such as the Honda City and Toyota Vios have practically made the Nissan irrelevant. With that said, we reckon that the market still has a space for the Almera. Here’s why. For starters, the Almera is a massive upgrade for people that are upgrading from much older cars; think Nissan Sunny, Perodua Kancil or Proton Iswara and you’ll get the picture. Despite having just 2 airbags and ABS, the Alme

Let’s face it, for a lot of Malaysians, the ideal family mover is not that fancy SUV. Instead, the ideal family mover, especially for those with young kids or elderly parents, is an MPV. In Malaysia, the options for MPVs are aplenty, but we reckon that the ideal MPV is one that has powered sliding doors, thus narrowing down the selection by quite a fair bit. For those shopping for a family MPV, the most affordable option that features power sliding doors is a brand-new C27 Nissan Serena. Recond

Back in July, Nissan launched its new redesigned logo which made its debut on its first fully-electric crossover, the Ariya. As such, the logo is seen on various mediums, both digitally and physically. Malaysia will follow suit alongside the soon-to-be-launched 2020 Nissan Almera Turbo. However, this doesn’t mean that the new logo will be on the Almera Turbo, but rather Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) will introduce the redesigned logo in stages across different mediums such as letterheads, social

Long awaited since last year, the Perodua Ativa is finally launched in Malaysia. This is the most exciting car in 2021 for Malaysia, and the biggest leap forward for Perodua. Powered by a 1.0-litre turbo engine, the Ativa reminds us very much of the Nissan Almera. One an SUV and the other a sedan, both the Perodua Ativa and Nissan Almera are two very different cars. Body type aside, the powertrain for both cars sound exactly the same on paper – 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbo engine paired to a CVT.

It appears that Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM), the official importer and distributor of Nissan vehicles in Malaysia, will be introducing the new Nissan Terra in the near future, as spyshots of the model have surfaced.

(2019 Nissan Serena S-Hybrid Price and Specs | Gallery) When shopping for a family MPV, the biggest deciding factor should be the availability power sliding doors, as this feature is a blessing for parents with young kids.

Two variants of the Nissan Serena S-Hybrid are available in Malaysia- 2.0 Highway Star and 2.0 Premium Highway Star, priced from RM 131,888 and RM 141,888, respectively. Opting for the

The all-new 2020 Nissan Almera has been caught undisguised in Malaysia, shortly after the all-new Honda City was sighted on the AKLEH highway. Previously, our friends over at Careta posted a photo of a taped-up Almera, but this time around, we can see the car without any camouflage, giving us a good look at Nissan’s upcoming B-segment sedan. This particular unit appears to be the mid-to-upper range variant, as it gets the 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels (expect lower variants to get 15-inch units

Bookings for the Proton X50 are opened but the obvious question on every prospective buyer’s mind is, “How am I supposed to book for a car when I don’t know the price?” Proton dealers nationwide are ready to accept a RM 500 booking fee for the Proton X50 but you can’t view the car at any showroom yet. Instead, Proton is organizing closed-door preview sessions to selected customers but if you are not on their preferred customers list, you’ll have to wait longer. With no clear indication on when w

We’re all well acquainted with the Nissan Leaf, the first-ever mass-market electric vehicle (EV) with an unbeatable range and affordable price (at least not in Malaysia). In other words, a boring EV car. But Nissan is out to prove that the Leaf is not just more reliable than a Tesla but can be just as exciting with this very unique sprint race. In a video uploaded on Nissan’s official YouTube channel, the Nissan Leaf challenged mother nature’s fastest elements, the wind and fire, to a 0-100 km/h

With the outgoing Nissan Navara NP 300 (D23) almost sold out in Malaysia, it is only a matter of time before we get the facelifted 2021 Nissan Navara. Well, a spyshot that was posted in the Navara NP300 Malaysia Club (Official) Facebook group might prove that notion. In the photo, we see the rear quarter of the refreshed Mother Trucker and it appears that there are at least two locked up behind a gate.
