NISSAN X-TRAIL 2016 IMPUL

Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) has officially launched the Nissan X-Trail Tuned by Impul, a new offering for those who desire something a little sportier than the standard seven-seater SUV. The Impul X-Trail package is offered for both the 2.5L 4WD and 2.0L 2WD models.

The Impul makeover includes an aerokit made up of newly designed front and rear bumper spoilers, side skirts, door visors, and LED stainless steel kick plates. The 17-inch wheels have also been swapped out for 18-inch Impul Aura SX-50 alloys that get a chrome bronze and gloss black finish. The wheels are wrapped with Continental MaxContact MC5 tyres as well. Additionally, the Impul X-Trail rides 30 mm lower than before thanks to Impul sport springs.

Prices start at RM149,715.05 (OTR with insurance) for the Nissan X-Trail 2.0L 2WD Impul, a premium of RM8,648.04 over the standard 2.0L model (RM141,067.01). The 2.5L 4WD Impul meanwhile, will set you back RM172,516.42 (OTR with insurance), RM8,620.48 more than the standard 2.5L model (RM163,895.94).

However, if you’re looking to purchase the Impul parts individually, the total cost for the whole Impul makeover will amount to RM15,900. The full list of parts and their respective prices are as follows:

• Aerokit (including front and rear bumper spoilers, side skirts) – RM5,300.
• Impul sport springs – RM1,060
• 18-inch Impul Aura SX-50 alloy wheels (set of four) – RM 5,830
• Continental MaxContact MC5 tyres (set of four) – RM2,756
• Door visors – RM424
• LED stainless steel kick plates – RM530

Keep in mind that the Impul package doesn’t involve any mechanical changes under the hood of both X-Trail models. Therefore, the 2.0 litre MR20DD direct injection mill is still good for 144 PS at 6,000 rpm and 200 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. As for the 2.5 litre, the QR25DE-k2 engine provides 171 PS at 6,000 rpm and 233 Nm at 4,000 rpm for output numbers. Both engines are paired to Nissan’s Xtronic CVT gearbox.

Nissan is set to display a large number of customised vehicles at the 2016 Tokyo Auto Salon next month, with no less than 14 specials being assembled for the event. Included in the parade are three vehicles created together with French fashion designer Lolita Lempicka.

Aimed at wow-ing the ladies, the March, Note and Juke Lolita Lempicka Concepts all feature a two-tone white and black exterior, and there’s a possibility that these may see the light of day as a limited edition series, if the Micra LL 1.2L 80 seen previously is any indication.

A slew of Nismo outings are also to be expected – leading that line will be the Serena and X-Trail Nismo variants, which of course get the dressed-up kit treatment. Other Nismo offerings on call will include theNote S and GT-R N-Attack.

The automaker will also be showcasing a number of modified models like the reworked Leaf Aero Style,Sylphy S Touring Edition, X-Trail Mode Premier, Dayz Bolero and Dayz Rider as well an Elgrand Rider Black Line, making for no shortage of options or variations.
