Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd (ETCM) introduced their new Nissan GRAND LIVINA Tuned By Impul. Today’s launch marks the world debut of the only GRAND LIVINA to be tuned by a world renowned Japanese motorsports and specialist Nissan tuning expert, Impul Motor Racing Development. With the exception of the alloy wheels, all Impul GRAND LIVINA parts are produced in Malaysia. Quality and reliability of these parts are assured with the appropriate cost competitiveness for consideration to be exported to other ASEAN markets, China and South America at a later stage.
“The GRAND LIVINA Tuned By Impul is developed for the many young and dynamic families in our society who seek the versatility of the GRAND LIVINA’s 7-seater capability in combination with a distinctive look and sports tuned performance, which are trademarks of Impul Motor Racing from its rich motorsports heritage”, said Dato’ Dr Ang Bon Beng, Executive Director of Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd.
The Impul parts fitted onto this all new GRAND LIVINA variant are:
- IMPUL Complete Aerokit
The complete aerokit exudes visual drama and dynamic presence with its front grille, front and rear bumper spoiler, side skirts and the Impul trademark rear wing spoiler.
- IMPUL Sports Suspension System
The suspension system consisting of upgraded shock absorbers and springs are fine-tuned with a 25mm lowered ride height to reduce unwanted roll and pitch for optimised handling and to enrich steering feel of the Nissan Grand Livina.
- IMPUL Blast II Exhaust Muffler
A high quality stainless steel exhaust muffler in a polished finish and etched Impul logo tail pipe. It contributes to improve engine response with a sporty note and also complements the overall aesthetics of the exterior.
- 17" IMPUL AURA SX-10 Alloy Wheels with Dunlop Formula D 01 205/45 R17 Tyres
The Impul Aura SX-10 Alloy Wheels in polished finish are designed for a luxurious feel. These wheels are fabricated with the IMPUL New Super Cast process that results in a 20 to 30% weight saving in comparison to conventional processes thereby delivering the latest in wheel design technology and a commitment to higher quality and safety.
The Nissan Grand Livina Tuned By Impul version is offered at a cost of only RM10,500.00 above the standard Nissan Grand Livina.
Nissan Grand Livina Tuned By Impul variants are priced at (OTR with insurance):
1.6 MT Comfort RM95,586.00

The new Nissan Grand Livina Tuned By IMPUL can be exclusively viewed at selected Nissan showrooms nationwide and comes with a 3-year or 100,000 km (whichever comes first) warranty. After-market purchase for IMPUL Performance Parts will also be available to existing Nissan Grand Livina owners.
Coming across more like a Honda S2000 successor than a Volkswagen (imagine swapping the 'VW' emblem for one of that framed 'H'), the BlueRoadster Concept 2.0TDI is looking very sleek, modern and sporty.
The beauty of this roadster - and rarity for a modern VW - is its mid-engined layout and rear-wheel drivetrain. Powered by VW's 2.0litre turbodiesel pushing 180ps and 350Nm of max torque, the drop-top needs only 6.6secs to zip from 0 - 100km/h, on the way to a Vmax of 226km/h.
