ETCM’s new Nissan Sylphy tuned by Impul
Edaran Tan Chong Motor brings its “tuned by Impul” model offering up to three with the new Nissan Sylphy tuned by Impul, which will be exhibited at the SIC this weekend in conjunction with Round 4 of the Super GT International Series Malaysia.
The most obvious addition is the aerokit, which consists of a front grille, front and rear lips, side skirts and a rear wing spoiler. The kit also includes an Impul sports suspension kit which lowers the Sylphy by 25mm compared to the standard model, and features uprated shocks and springs. At the rear complementing the rear lip is an Impul Black II muffler with a polished finish. The Impul Sylphy rides on 17 inch Impul Aura SX-10 Black & Polish Finish Alloy Wheels, wrapped with Dunlop Formula D-01 205/45R17 Tyres. On the inside, the seats are wrapped in black leather with matching Impul black mats.
Nissan Sylphy tuned by Impul 2.0 Comfort RM123,900
Nissan Sylphy tuned by Impul 2.0 Luxury RM127,900
The prices above are OTR inclusive of insurance, road tax and misc other fees for the Peninsular Malaysia, and come with a 3-year or 100,000km warranty. That’s actually quite a premium over the regular Sylphy which goes for RM112,800 for the Comfort and RM116,800 for the Luxury. That’s a RM11,100 premium but it doesn’t sound too bad considering you get wheels, an exhaust and the suspension as well.
Those who already own a Sylphy but would like to fit the Impul kit can also do so but of course you won’t be able to package it inside your car hire purchase installment loan.

OMG……Fguly…
June 19, 2009 @ 3:28 am
not bad, better looking than the original one
bodykit is making wonders these day.
June 19, 2009 @ 3:36 am
Front behind… looks like a Lexus beater.
Come to the front… looks like a tank (kereta kebal) beater.
June 19, 2009 @ 3:37 am
…..and torsion beam rear suspension…ouch
June 19, 2009 @ 3:42 am
dull…i dont like the seats…308 gt way better
June 19, 2009 @ 4:23 am
fugly…ahbeng-like bodykit
June 19, 2009 @ 4:50 am
Not my cup of tea, but at least there are some real performance parts in this sported up Sylphy, unlike that other sported up Vios. And, Nissan has some real sports cars kudos courtesy of the 370Z and GTR.
June 19, 2009 @ 7:31 am
What’s with the beige seatbelts and trimmings??? that’s just weird.
June 19, 2009 @ 8:50 am
fugly? I beg to differ…with the Impul kit, it looks much better than the standard offering…
June 19, 2009 @ 8:52 am
better than rubbish trd vios
June 19, 2009 @ 8:52 am
Actually Paul, it’s not only a polished tip.
It’s a complete muffler like the Latio and Grand Livina IMPUL.
June 19, 2009 @ 9:11 am
far away better than toyota dugong
June 19, 2009 @ 9:13 am
If the engine also tune by impul, why not. It 10x way more batter than vios dugong TRD sportivo wanebe. The kit + interior + engine tune = RM123,000 OTR are worth it. Batter than vios sportivo that just slap “make up tebal” but engine are same. However if impul just slap also the make up, that not much diffrance than vios dugong sportivo.
June 19, 2009 @ 9:21 am
Can’t afford, then says “fugly”….wtf…
June 19, 2009 @ 9:42 am
I think Sylphy with bodykit is not nice.
Especially the front grile…
But the rims is nice… hmm wonder can i have that for Latio.
June 19, 2009 @ 9:51 am
Yah, if i have extra 30k i will kick out vios to buy this one.
June 19, 2009 @ 10:14 am
the rim design is not match wit those bodykit…
June 19, 2009 @ 10:24 am
The standard one looks much better. This one looks Ah-Beng-ish and instead of “elevate your status”, “elevate your Ah-Beng” would fit this Impul version.
June 19, 2009 @ 10:35 am
The purpose of the bodykit and suspension setup is for a better perceived sporty image on a new car, but if sporty image of a sedan is what we want, we should have considered other make/model eg. lancer GT or Civic. I think the Sylphy design is more suitable for the ‘elegance’ image.
June 19, 2009 @ 10:50 am
Love the bodykit but the rims not suit. Better if they put rim the one from latio impuls. Yes, Sylphy is way better than TRD dugong, but they are not in same segment. And i think sylphy is way better than altis.
June 19, 2009 @ 10:51 am
hahahahha…black seats with brown steering wheel….
June 19, 2009 @ 10:57 am
From the photo, the car actually looks very nice with the aerokit on. But the 17″ rim will sure hit the fuel economic of the car.
June 19, 2009 @ 10:58 am
they should change the steering wheel as well…… pity……
June 19, 2009 @ 11:13 am
the rims is now proportionate to the car.
June 19, 2009 @ 11:18 am
love the looks…better than the standard model….though some might think otherwise ….it depends what u r looking for…but this is way better than dugong TRD haha….nice wheels too..
June 19, 2009 @ 11:22 am
looks much nicer than the sedated standard look now.
and some suspension tunings too! UMW are you watching!?!
June 19, 2009 @ 11:40 am
Wah!! Ah So car is stolen by her son, Ah Beng.
June 19, 2009 @ 11:46 am
All these so called “tuning” is for looks only, no substance at all. I would rather have a totally standard looking “Q” car with no visible external difference to standard model but with killer upgrade underneath, perhaps with revised suspension geometry, sporty steering rack, uprated brakes, engine, gearbox and additional structure for more rigid body. Now that’s what I call real tuning.
June 19, 2009 @ 11:53 am
Looks like the uncle just popped a few viagras.
No love for this car… it look like a tube on the road.
June 19, 2009 @ 12:08 pm
NO creativity! ITs the same styling for the Latio…. Really NO CREATIVITY! I spit on it!
June 19, 2009 @ 12:13 pm
Prefers the original vanilla version.
June 19, 2009 @ 1:22 pm
Great car ruin by introducing rear drum brakes. Outdated la! Even new Honda City has all disc brakes, plus RM 30k cheaper!
June 19, 2009 @ 1:33 pm
A Rm110K ++ for this car?Don’t even look luxury on the inside.Seems to plain for this kind of price.Better go for Lancer.
June 19, 2009 @ 2:11 pm
too ugly…specially the rear…bt engine and gearbox is very very smooth
June 19, 2009 @ 2:28 pm
Rims same as Livina’s
June 19, 2009 @ 2:30 pm
Yaaa… even Personas got all disc brakes… and its 60K chepaer than Sipi
June 19, 2009 @ 3:30 pm
extremely useless and ugly, just like any other impul bodykits……
Sylphy can be very good looking with just a bigger wheels, no need to attach any bodykits……
June 19, 2009 @ 3:43 pm
Nice exterior Kit.
Shame about the beige steering wheel & seatbelts
June 19, 2009 @ 4:37 pm
What’s with the body kit??? Don’t try to be a racer-boy wannabe! Puuuh…leeez!
This is supposed to be an executive sedan and should remain as one, come rain or shine! CIAO!
June 19, 2009 @ 4:58 pm
Car of the Year 2008 ..selected by a group of auto-experts … supple ride , extra comfortable seats …. quality dashboard with soft plastics ….
Altis – weird design with chaotic external overgrowth …. touted as the ALTIS but old engine …reliable mah!! kah kah kah 1
June 19, 2009 @ 5:22 pm
why can’t the executive sedan looks sporty? the mature people just want to be young, anything wrong? and somebody even compare with Persona? wao lao..man…how can you compare the proton with nissan…brainless comparison. should i say why Kancil can’t chase BMW? please, be realistic…don’t comment just for the sick of fun. we are mature enough to give good comment for the readers.
June 19, 2009 @ 5:34 pm
ah. finally the slyphy become beutiful. for the origin, it like so so and when look at it, like car used for flood situation.
The body is high from the ground.(this from my point of view la).
and paul 10,000 km waranty or 100,00 km waranty???

can afford then only can says “fugly”? wtf……
June 19, 2009 @ 11:18 pm
hahaha, the lips look out of place, on the whole, the bodykit doesnt really accentuate the curves of the sylphy.
the black leather interior however….is nice……. but the seatbelts not so much.
take a test drive, its a real comfortable car. nice engine/gearbox too.
June 19, 2009 @ 11:50 pm
i think that this is sort of a waste of time.
if someone was looking for a sporty 2.0L car, they would have headed to a honda or mitsubishi showroom instead of nissan…
June 20, 2009 @ 12:18 am
swt …
can’t tcm put black colour trim on it ?
the seat belt is beige colour while the seat are black colour ?
so eye catching
June 20, 2009 @ 2:44 am
never like the so call IMPUL design..
I always feel its more ‘Ah BENG’ after they modified it..
This one is AH BENG, the rest IMPUL also AH BENG…
but AH BENG got AH BENG market..Edaran TAN CHONG rite?
message to edaran TAN CHONG:
nissan has many good car..for example, why would the hell you dun bring in the TEANA to malaysia? the latest version, that car can beat Camry or Accord.. for ppl who used to like nissan cefiro, now where can they upgrade to?? ya, other brand lah…pls.. do your dealership better.. dun just treat it as Family Business!!!!
June 20, 2009 @ 9:47 am
Managed to catch a glimpse of the IMPUL Sylphy and I must say even with beige seat belts and steering wheel, somehow the black leather seats compliment the entire package. Also saw black IMPUL carpets.
Overall not bad IMHO.
Price is very close to Civic and Lancer though.
Let’s just wait and see yah…
June 20, 2009 @ 10:55 am
Apek car become stylo? Apek become tailo? The front design spoil the whole car.
June 20, 2009 @ 11:13 am
So many negative comments, quite shameful
June 20, 2009 @ 11:18 am
nissan sylphy is for people age 40 above..design wise totally not attracted young buyer..I will prefer honda city.I think when I stop at trafic light people will impresed honda city compare nissan sylphy.. actually i borrow new honda city from my friend. I just own wira..hehe
June 20, 2009 @ 11:45 am
Whatever it is…It’s Fugly…
Still looks like a toad…now with biceps!
June 20, 2009 @ 12:12 pm
Why all IMPUL design do look a bit “AH BENG” ?
June 20, 2009 @ 1:26 pm
Hahaha… now got Laupek AhBeng doing upgrade on Lauchim AhLian.
Seriously, TCM needs newer products, ‘cos Sylphy should remain a family car. If want ahBeng stylo go for the Latio Sports.
Teana? Pricewise, i think wallop by H.Accord/T.Camry.
If Laupek (i.e. ‘mature’) want to be sporty, go for Pug 407 or Alfa 158 if can’t afford BMW. Why pretend? What can you do with 136hp mated with a cvt?
June 20, 2009 @ 5:22 pm
Has TCM learn from previous IMPUL versions of Latio, Livina and etc…??
Did the sale go well? I do not think so as not much on the street. Let see whether this works. Time will tell…….
June 21, 2009 @ 12:50 am
Frankyl,oni those Ah beng minded ppl wil oni say dis is ah beng’s car..they are so jz so bad taste that until can’t even jusitify a car wit proper their proper sense..wat shameful n crtitic a utterly well modified car with their bird ah beng minded sense…
June 21, 2009 @ 2:49 am
This new version is OK ma… I like everything except for the front lip. That is way too low, too wide and looks UgLy. Bear in mind, this machine is tuned by the official vendor and u get up-rated spring and absorber. The best part is u get the warranty and u can whack ur suspension as hard as u can. And..who said drum brake sucks?
June 21, 2009 @ 12:14 pm
Sporty version with rear drum brakes? But then again, what ETCM Nissan comes with disc rear brakes nowadays?

this nissan slphy how come can compare wif with toyota vios ??? should be civic or altis……… blind talk _|_
June 21, 2009 @ 9:14 pm
to me the exterior design is ok .. but what about the color? I can’t believe they maintained the wood trim inside the cabin … should replace it with sporty concept e.g carbon fiber ..
June 22, 2009 @ 4:09 am
Frankly i never like slphy by the look, but then when i saw this in the newspaper, it caught my eye. it’s much smoother to look at, not so ah pek any>. with impul grill, now front omos like infiniti model. & i like the rim, no longer the undersize rim.
June 22, 2009 @ 12:26 pm
don’t like the front.the rest still can accept
June 22, 2009 @ 4:26 pm
black leather trim is spoil the exterior..
June 22, 2009 @ 8:18 pm
damn it looks good… but hate the interior.. wrong combination. Overall its a great car to have. damn powerful. drove it up to the east west highway.. nothing comes near it.. honda civic?? wakakakak tarak boleh lawan la naik bukit…
June 23, 2009 @ 10:40 am
i like the looks of the new impul tuned sylphy… looks much better compare to the normal version… but a bit let down on the interior… ohh so now im being categorize as ah beng by some… wow a car with bodykit being call ah beng’s car… so does it means that evo and impreza with aftermarket bodykit also call ah beng’s car???
hmm i guess all japan gt cars are all ah beng’s car… super wide bodykit and huge spoiler… ingredients for a successful ah beng’s car i guess…
nevertheless thumbs up for ETCM…
June 23, 2009 @ 10:26 pm
Guys, what is all this ah beng’s car? Every car has its own look and beauty. If u r saying Sylphy tuned by Impul looks like ah beng’s, then same goes to Civic, Altis, Elantra and Lancer that come with bodykit. Honda City will attracts more people compared to Sylphy because of its exterior look especially the front grille. But do we all know that, Sylphy is many times greater than the City in terms of quality, comfort ride, smooth accelleration, fuel efficiency and its engineering. We can’t really compare them cos they r from different class or segment. Anyway, i like the rims. The rear spoiler does not match.
July 6, 2009 @ 3:17 pm
good car but expensive if their sold in malaysia
July 24, 2009 @ 12:03 am
adoi this car ehh price like shit buat bodykit mcm hampeh shame lah die org … tak ler tinggi mane imaginasi org buat tuh. .. same mane org yang suke kutuk nasional car look at this car WTF…. iyer …
July 28, 2009 @ 9:29 pm
syah, have u ever test drive before?? do u know things bout Sylphy?
its specs, engineering, ride, suspension, etc…. well if u don’t, pls do
not critic bout this car….. it is way better than that…………

Evrything is nice..tapi..ENGINE is a the most dissapointing part lah! Make bagus mesti engine dia pun kena upgrade! Klu enigne dia punya horsepower 220 hp dan supercharger atau turbo housing- Then I call it a real car!
September 24, 2009 @ 10:22 am
Pity to those who cant afford and start commenting the negative part of it.
Nissan is set for the elegant looks and presume is “different league”.
October 5, 2009 @ 2:59 pm
frankly speaking,kebanyakan ppl yg antar komen..whtr jorang x mampu nk beli or main suka2 jer tekan2.dis car faaaarrr away better frm other car yg sama class.i beli sylphy impul,perfmanc n etc…suma superb!x perlu nk compare gan civic,berlambak kat jalan,da xde diffrnt or special pun org nk tgk.tiap kali i g mana2,org dok kagum!very gud lookng n for all owners sylphy impul…excellent dcsion making..
October 5, 2009 @ 3:11 pm

October 12, 2009 @ 12:29 pm
to those who says sylphy engine is not good juz by lookin at the hp..i recommend they look at the engine’s torque…its wayyyyy better than cars in the same class..and thats include civic 2.0!…torque is very important when u climb the hill or start stop situation in the city..hp only fully use when u r cruising on de h’way
November 7, 2009 @ 10:35 pm
no disk break rear
November 8, 2009 @ 10:31 pm
I love my 2008 Sylphy but this new sideskirts by IMPUL look very nice. Can I trade-in my old ones for this? Can I also get a Sylphy steering wheel with a player remote control (like the Spore model) from IMPUL too
November 9, 2009 @ 11:37 pm
I know the look of original Slyphy is not accepted by many people but it’s OK to me, I got no chance to see the Impul version yet. I test drove the car, very nice, its comfort level is the toppest among Civic and Altis. I will get one Slyphy for myself but not this version, will wait until facelift come out, really cannot accept the front look (can be improved by changing the Impul one) and the rear drum brake.
