Nissan Sentra tuned by IMPUL

Nissans have a strong reputation for reliability and durability, coupled with low running costs… attributes which customers are always looking for. And for those who don’t need the latest model in their garage or porch, the Sentra remains a practical car to buy. Over the years, ETCM has kept adding enhancements to the Sentra to freshen its looks periodically. At different times, the enhancements have made the car look more elegant or more sporty, appealing to different segments of the market. In fact, ETCM’s continued development of the Sentra even prompted Nissan to allow it to export the model to Indonesia for sale there. From Dato’ Dr Ang’s statements that the Sentra will be around for some years to come, it sounds like it will catch up with the other long-running model, the Sunny, which was available in this market for 13 years. This time round, with its tie-up with IMPUL Motor Racing Development of Japan, ETCM has created an IMPUL version for the Sentra. This would be the fourth model that has received the Impul upgrade, the others being the Latio, Sylphy and Grand Livina. For the IMPUL Sentra, the following items have been added: aerokit (including rear spoiler), sports suspension system which lowers the ride height by about 25 mm, IMPUL’s Blast II exhaust muffler, and bronze-finished 16-inch IMPUL FS-16 alloy wheels (imported from Japan) which replace the standard 14-inch wheels. The following are the prices (inclusive of roadtax/insurance) for IMPUL versions of the different Sentra variants: Sentra 1.6L MT Comfort - RM94,500 Sentra 1.6L MT Luxury - RM98,500 Sentra 1.6L AT Comfort - RM98,600 Sentra 1.6L AT Luxury - RM102,600
