Edaran Tan Chong Motor launched two fully
imported models from its stable, the Nissan Elgrand and the Nissan
Murano, boosting its local distributorship and variety of models
officially available in Malaysia.
The Elgrand will have the same 7-seater capability as the previous
incarnation, maintaining its signature “Captain Seat” feature in the
first and second rows, as well as other luxury features that make a
journey in the MPV similar to a first-class flight.
The Elgrand is powered by a 3.5-litre V6 engine, giving out 276hp and
344Nm of torque. Similar to vehicles in this class, Elgrand possesses
automatic sliding doors at the rear, dual-zone climate control for the
front and rear, a private theatre entertainment system and an “Around
View Monitor” for parking.
The 2012 Nissan Murano is in its second generation, spurred by the
relative success of the previous iteration. The facelifted model offers a
distinct change, featuring a bolder front fascia, rear LED lights, new
18-inch rims, and a redesigned interior.
The Murano uses the same engine as the top-range Nissan Teana (albeit
with slightly different tuning), giving out 256hp and 336Nm of torque.
Power is transferred via Nissan’s Xtronic CVT ‘box with 6 virtual gears.
