nissan sylphy malaysia problem

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

A recent report from headlightmag has mentioned that Nissan Thailand has sent out a memo to its dealerships announcing that they have ceased production of the Nissan X-Trail, Nissan Sylphy, and Nissan Teana. The dealers were told to dispose of all of their brochures and marketing materials pertaining the three models. The memo from Nissan also mentioned that the company is putting more emphasis on subcompact cars, small multi-purpose vehicles, commercial vehicles, and vehicles utilizing alternat

Berdasarkan laporan daripada Headlightmag, Nissan Motor Thailand telah menghantar notis kepada rangkaian pengedar mereka untuk berhenti menjual 3 model iaitu Nissan X-Trail, Nissan Sylphy dan Nissan Teana. Notis tersebut juga mengarahkan agar kesemua stok sedia ada dihabiskan ataupun ‘dihapuskan’. Dalam notis tersebut, pihak Nissan Motor Thailand menegaskan bahawa Nissan sedang memberi tumpuan terhadap segmen kenderaan subkompak, MPV kompak, kenderaan komersial dan kenderaan mesra alam.

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

Umum mengetahui bahawa Nissan Almera telah pun dilancarkan di negara jiran kita, Thailand. Kini, sebuah model yang dikatakan Nissan Almera 2020 dibalut dengan penyamaran telah pun tiba di Malaysia. Rekaan terbaru Nissan Almera mengambil inspirasi daripada Nissan Teana dan Nissan Sylphy. Keputusan ini ternyata berbaloi kerana Nissan Almera nampak lebih premium dan elegan hasil daripada rekaan tersebut. Tidak lupa juga, Nissan Almera adalah kereta kedua terlaris di Thailand selepas Honda City 1.0

It’s a fruitful year for Honda in Thailand as the marque chalked up another win - this time having their 2020 Honda Civic outselling the Toyota Corolla Altis, Mazda 3 and Nissan Sylphy combined - from January to June in Thailand this year. Headlightmag reports that a total of 15,252 C-segment cars were sold in that period. Of that figure, Honda delivered 8,656 Civics - commanding a 56.8% market share. Second in line was Toyota with 5,266 (34.5%) Corolla Altis sold and Mazda came in third with 1,

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.

It is no surprise that when it comes to preserving heritage models, Nissan comes up on top, as the Yokohama-based company has already introduced its Heritage Parts Program parked under the Nismo umbrella.

The process is called dual-sided dieless forming, which involves two synchronized robots working from opposite sides of a she

The C-segment sedan market in Thailand was once represented by four models – Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla Altis, Mazda 3, and Nissan Sylphy. No prizes for guessing which model currently dominates the segment. With 2,046 units sold in November 2020, Honda has managed to shift almost 3 times more units of the Civic than what Toyota managed with the Corolla Altis (only 702 units). Mazda only managed to sell 218 units of the Mazda 3 in the same month. Nissan pulled the plug on the Sylphy back in Sept

It has been about two weeks of ownership with our Perodua Ativa. How have things been? Well, the rattling sound we mentioned previously had gotten really annoying. Every time we drove over abrupt irregularities on the right side, the sound became more and more apparent. We needed to take the Ativa to Sepang on Tuesday to check out some Malaysian-made electric car, so we held off going to the service centre until Wednesday.

In the recent years, we have welcomed some new three-cylinder engine cars to the world – the Nissan Almera 1.0 turbo, Honda City 1.0 turbo (Thailand), Proton X50, and more excitingly, the Toyota GR Yaris. Even Christian von Koenigsegg has channelled his genius into developing a 600 HP three-cylinder engine. With these developments however, some of us still remain very sceptical of them. We will never forget the underpowered three pots in tiny cars like the Perodua Kancil and Perodua Kelisa. Sure

First things first. There is no such thing as a Proton S50. The name exists not on any Proton car but merely on a list of nameplates trademarked by Proton, along with the Proton V70 and Proton C50. Still, Malaysians have a very high level of interest in Proton and for whatever reason, S50 is fast becoming a trending topic. Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Local Internet users have somehow collectively concluded that the Proton S50 is a natural successor to the Proton Preve/Proton Waja, nevermi

Before we get started, let’s get this out of the way – the current-generation Nissan Almera is anything but desirable. Not only the current model lacks any modern safety equipment (no stability control and only two airbags), its quirky looks won’t be winning any beauty contests as well.

这是一个无法避免的问题 —— 除非你的车是一台罕见的车型，否则它就一定会贬值。这就是为什么对很多消费者来说，保值率是和保养费用一样关键的因素。 虽然关于保值率的不少流言都已经基本破灭了，但仍然有一种普遍的看法，即一些品牌不受消费者欢迎，因为他们的保值率很低。 本文将带大家了解几款著名的C级轿车，包括Honda Civic、上一代Toyota Corolla Altis、Mazda 3、Volkswagen Jetta、Kia Cerato等。这些车的保值率如何? 请继续往下看吧！ Honda Civic —— 以5年70%的保值率名列前茅 Honda Civic可能已经算是一款老旧的轿车车型了。事实上，在我国的同级别车型中，它是目前在售的最老的车型，而其它的竞争对手都已经换代或停产了。 尽管涡轮增压的1.5 TC-P可能是最值得入手的车型，但令人惊讶的是，自然进气的1.8 S车型其实拥有更好的保值率。根据我们的调查，2016 Civic 1.8 S的保值率在73%左右，而同年的Civic 1.5 TC-P的保值率在67%左右。 所以，如果你追求更高的保值率，那么或许你可以考虑1.8升的

If you are looking for a people mover, few other MPVs can do a better job than the Nissan Serena. Actually that’s incorrect. There’s no other MPV that can do what the Serena does. What are the alternatives? Seven-seater SUVs? Have you tried climbing into the third row of one of those? Now imagine doing it every day/week.
