With the 2014 Nissan Teana now on the last leg of its tour of the peninsula, ads for the L33 have already popped up on our sister classifieds site oto.my ahead of the new D-segment sedan’s launch on June 3. Both a 2.0 litre model (we think it’s the base 2.0XE) and the full-spec 2.5XV have appeared with an estimated price of RM142,000 for the former, rising up to RM173,000 for the latter.
These figures are similar to what the outgoing J32 retails for at the bottom and top end respectively, so the price of the mid-range 2.0XL shouldn’t stray too far from the current 2.0 Luxury’s RM145,830.
Standard equipment on all variants consists of push-button ignition, cruise control, dual-zone automatic climate control and rear air-conditioning vents, while safety kit includes Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), traction control, ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, hill-start assist as well as six airbags (front, side and full-length curtain airbags).
The 2.0XL tacks on Bluetooth connectivity, while the 2.5 XL gets adaptive bi-xenon headlights, a nine-speaker Bose Premium Audio System, a sunroof, a powered rear windscreen sunshade and 17-inch alloy wheel shod with 215/55 tyres.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
this car’s styling makes me fall asleep
Does that mean if you want to buy a brand new Nissan car with 2.0 Litre engine, you need to pay 142k? Hmmmm…..
6 airbags for 142k…. TAKE MY MONEY NISSAN!
This car will wipe out the Camry and Accord completely. One must have no shame, no dignity and no testicles to buy a car that ONLY gives 2 airbags.
Malaysians have no shame at all. All over the world, the Camry and Accord come with 8 or 9 airbags. In Malaysia, DRB and UMW treat Malaysian lives like pangsai (berak). They don’t care for you or your family. If you meet an accident and you children become vegetables, UMW and DRB (Honda) don’t care a damn. You are just a statistic. You are just dust in UMW and Honda Malaysia’s eyes.
But yet, people buy cars like Camry and Accord because they are like a herd of cows. just follow the first cow. One cannot be so stupid in life. Think about your family. Think about your children. Airbags have proven to save lives and severe injuries.
What is the use you drive Camry or Accord, in an accident, only father and mother are protected in the front. The children at the back get smashed into pieces because got no airbag.
You must be a man with no testicles if you out your family and children in such danger.
Meh,nissan Teana is the real shit.
How many Teana you saw on the road until now?Its totally fail,u think 6 airbags can boost the sales?Honda Accord is still the best.
New Camry GX and Accord can totally wipe out this Teanashit!!
Saw it at Publika last Sunday, honestly I find iit almost Mazda-6 level of sexy. And at that price and spec, we might be looking at the new king of the D here. Its like a Mazda 6 without the performance but also better interior, both in design and space.
I hit the submit to fast
Correction:
*King of the D-segments here.
Please no dirty thoughts.
Where’s the Proton-Geely JV news? PM already went on discussion with Geely in China.
Let it price below 135k for starting line… then it will give a good fight to accord…
UMW camry can give back to thailand or tell tan Sri Asmat to keep it all at his house and luxury 2.0 at his bedroom…
Well. Trying to be the “tai koh” in pricing with RM 142K as compared to H (RM 139 OTR) & T.
Sylphy has failed in term of pricing strategy and now the D segment Teana want to follow the footstep of the small brother.
Regardless of what has been improved for the safety feature, Nissan should not price their car higher than T&H due to the bad resale value of the car.
Good car with bad pricing strategy will backfire.
Let see how long they can pile up their stock and start giving RM 15K discount. I expected a big discount to be offered after 4 months from the launch date.
To beat T&H, your strategy should follow the Almera where lowest spec pricing should be lower than H&T and priced around RM 129K (OTR) because your name is” Nissan” in Malaysia.
With this pricing, T&H will be malaysian choice.
Good luck Nissan.
pity this kind of car segment do not come with gps navigation..

Impartially, I am a big fan of where Nissan is headed. Uniformed design for the new Sylphy & Teana feels more premium, reminiscent of the German styling. Approximately same design, sized according to segment of the market the car is targeted at. Saw the 2.0 XE in Nissan showroom today. Like it a fair bit. Pricing TBA though. Seriously think the pricing will make or break this model.
I know everything about this car is awesome, specs-wise at least. But for some reason, I’m still more inclined to the Mazda 6 and Honda Accord. No, just no Nissan for me.
*better than the Camry though*
can Malaysia stop getting all these so called new designs which are at least 2-3 years old overseas?
the price of Camry and Accord, but have much extra safety, luxury and interested feature.
While we are debating price tags for T, H or N, it’s still very overly priced cars and for the segment of population while the rich or very rich are getting much cheaper car such as new Merc S class hybrid and Meserati Ghibli that usally priced close to 1mil. They are getting 40+% cheaper car.
Is that justice or plain ignorance.
Dont like the atok dashboard..
