nissan sentra malaysia review

The new Nissan Sklyphy, which is the Chinese version of Sentra, was debuted at the Shanghai Motor Show. "Vigor, confidence, lean and dynamic", that's how Shinichiro Irie, the Nissan program design director depicts the car. And yesterday, 2021 Nissan Sentra got spied by a U.S media, whose facelift is identical to what has been told on the Sklyphy - wearing a v-shaped gille fumigated in black and putting on a larger and wider suite.

Nissan has taken the covers off the all-new 2020 Nissan Sylphy for the North American market, where the model is known as the Sentra. The model will make its public debut later this week at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The model will go on sale in the US early next year, making it the second major market after China to launch the Sylphy/Sentra. The all-new Sylphy gets a new 2.0-litre naturally-aspirated 4-cylinder petrol engine that does 149 hp and 198 Nm. The Nissan Sylphy was last sold in Malays

Generally, most cars don’t last a lifetime and most people would generally own a car for a few years before replacing it. Still, there are some cars which are still running years or even decades after they were bought new. In fact, for this week’s Top Rank, we wanted to focus on the cars that are generally seen as immortal. Some of them might be considered indestructible and can last a lifetime no matter what is thrown in their way. You could even think of them as the automotive equivalent of a

After being overshadowed by its rivals over the past couple of years, Nissan is back in the limelight with the all-new 2020 Nissan Almera – one that we have been looking forward to for a rather long time. In fact, despite how crappy 2020 has been overall, the automotive sector pushed through – we witnessed the debut of the equally-new Honda City, Mitsubishi Xpander, Proton X50, and Hyundai Kona.

Yesterday, we were greeted with a scoop that the 2020 Nissan Almera in Malaysia will be getting the same 1.0-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder engine as Thailand. Now, before you get all excited with the prospects of cheap road tax and better looks, Edaran Tan Chong Motors (ETCM) still hasn’t announced a launch date for the popular but deeply-flawed sedan’s due replacement.

The Nissan Sylphy is China’s equivalent to our Perodua Myvi – everyone knows someone who has one. It’s the most popular car in China. Yes, Volkswagen no longer rules China. The title for the No.1 selling car in the world’s No.1 car market no longer belongs to a Volkswagen Santana or a Lavida, but a Nissan Sylphy, which is also sold in the US as the Nissan Sentra. As of August 2020, Nissan shifted 308,145 units of the Sylphy, putting it well ahead of the Volkswagen Lavida (252,106 units), and Toy

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

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.

Before we go any further, we need to establish two things. First, the all-new fifth generation 2020 Honda City RS e:HEV hybrid (GN series) is yet to be launched in Malaysia. Second, prices have not been announced. However, we were given an early preview drive in the all-new 2020 City, in its range topping RS guise, on the condition that we don't mention anything about City's interior – that will have to wait until the car is launched.

If you’re in the market for the current-generation Nissan Almera, we reckon that you should postpone your purchase for a bit as the all-new Almera will be coming to Malaysia, with the soonest being late-2020 or early-2021. The all-new model was introduced in Thailand back in November 2019, replacing the previous model that has been on sale since 2012.

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

Remember the early 2000s when Nissan in Malaysia could go toe-to-toe with the kings of the era like Toyota and Honda? The 2020 Nissan Almera is somewhat of a callback to those times (it's a compelling purchase, read the review here) but Edaran Tan Chong Motor's (ETCM) fortunes might improve even more with the all-new 2021 Nissan X-Trail.

The fifth-gen Nissan Serena (C27) has been on sale since 2016 in Japan and was once the best-selling MPV there. Even though it was given a facelift in 2019 and featured some interesting tech underneath, its position was usurped by the Toyota Voxy in 2020. Nissan knows the Serena is due for a full model change and after 5 years, it looks like the next-generation model will arrive in October 2021. This is according to a scoop by Best Car Web.

Electric vehicles are hardly a viable option in Malaysia as we do not have the necessary infrastructure and policies in place to support prolonged use of high voltage cars. I'm not talking just about setting up more charging stations – in fact, this is the easiest concern to address.

All along, we've been pestering the showroom to expedite the delivery, and we're very happy that it's finally here. What did we order?
