- NV200 designed as passenger vehicle and load carrier
- Power from a 1.6-litre engine with 5-speed transmission
- leaf-spring rear allows excellent load carrying ability
- Navara 4x2 designed to be non-nonsense workhorse
The NV200 is a clean sheet design and Nissan wanted it to be capable of being a decent passenger van as well as a load carrier and this has resulted in a cabin that is spacious and boxy and these characteristics means it can carry a lot of stuff and they are easy to load.
With the legendary reputation of the C22 Vanette firmly entrenched in the minds of buyers, the all-new NV200 should find a willing and receptive market.
Edaran Tan Chong is introducing the panel van first but expect the window van to start making impact in the near future.
The Nissan Navara single cab 4x2 is being offered with wooden, steel or luton bodywork, depending on what is needed by the business.

PRESS RELEASE
INTRODUCING THE ALL-NEW
NISSAN NV200 VANETTE AND
NAVARA SINGLE CAB
KUALA LUMPUR (18th
February 2012) – Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd (ETCM) is introducing two new
additions to its light commercial vehicle line-up in the shape of the all-new
Nissan NV200 Vanette and Navara Single Cab 4x2.
ETCM Executive
Director, Dato’ Dr. Ang Bon Beng said, “We have always set the benchmark in
Malaysia as the preferred brand in the light commercial vehicle segment with
models like the legendary C22 Vanette. ETCM is aware of the ever-demanding
commercial needs of our customers, thus both of the models launched today are
designed to create maximum value for businesses. ”
NV200 VANETTE
Making a
much-awaited return, the Vanette’s proud commercial heritage is manifested in
the all-new NV200 Panel Van.
Designed to
revolutionize the traditional concept of light commercial vehicles, the NV200’s
distinctive styling, high level of safety features, advanced functionality and superior
fuel efficiency are class-leading, further complemented by a huge cargo space
(measuring 4.2m³) which is able to cater to various applications.
Powering the NV200
Vanette is the responsive 1.6-liter HR16DE engine with Continuously
Variable-valve Timing Control (CVTC) producing 109ps and 152Nm of torque, it is
mated to a smooth-shifting 5-speed manual transmission and the result of this
pairing is a best-in-class fuel economy of 14.0 km/liter.
The NV200 sets new
benchmarks in terms of driving comfort; the front-mounted engine ensures
minimal noise intrusion, thus also avoiding the conventional “hot front seats”
and lowering driver fatigue. Besides the superior view out and electric power
steering, it is aided with a unique Multi-Function Meter that displays key
information such as engine revs, fuel consumption, range and driving time on
its large 2.8” Dot Matrix Display. The Multi-Function Meter is also equipped
with many useful alerts such as speeding, maintenance schedule, timer and even
a transmission shift-up alert so that the driver changes gear at optimal engine
speeds.
Also to note is the
innovative single-leaf spring rear suspension system which not only offers a
payload of up to 740kg, but due to its compact, space-saving design, the cargo
space is optimized to accommodate up to two Euro pallets.
Like all Nissan
vehicles, safety is likewise a priority for the NV200 Vanette. Standard safety
features include Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force
Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist, Zone Body construction, SRS Air Bag (for
driver), pre-tensioners seat belts with load limiters, high mount stop lamp, wide
rear view mirror and large side mirrors.
NAVARA SINGLE CAB 4x2
Versatility is
elevated to a new level with the Nissan Navara Single Cab. Based on the robust
Navara underpinnings and powered by the most powerful common rail diesel engine
in its class, the Navara Single Cab 4x2 is the ideal platform for businesses to
leverage on.
Commercial users can
choose from three body designs (Luton , Steel
or Wooden body configurations) to suit their specific business needs. Each of
the body design is built on a double-layered, high-tensile metal frame chassis
reinforced with a maximum payload of 750kg.
The Navara Single
Cab 2.5-litre YD25DDTi Common Rail Diesel Engine with turbo intercooler
delivers a commendable output of 144PS and 294 Nm, complemented by a smooth
5-speed manual transmission for the best combination of power and fuel economy.
While the Navara
Single Cab is designed to handle heavy loads, its driver is well isolated from
the elements in the cabin. Large comfortable seating, air-conditioning system
and a standard 1CD/radio audio head unit ensure that this work horse offers
good comfort for the driver.
Like other Navara variants,
the Single Cab comes with the well-proven independent double-wishbone front
suspension and a rigid rear axle with semi elliptic leaf spring. Additionally,
its Zone Body
Construction offers additional durability and rigidity.
The safety equipment
list includes side-impact beams, collapsible steering wheel column, and a load
sensing brake system that evenly distributes brake pressure to
rear wheels for optimal stopping performance. Front disc brakes are also
standard fitment.
The selling prices
for the all-new Nissan NV200 Vanette and Navara Single Cab start from
RM62,047.93 and RM64,391.55 respectively;
excluding road tax, insurance and registration related charges. Prices are
