Edaran Tan Chong Motor has introduced a limited run Impul kit for buyers and owners of the Nissan Latio. The kit costs RM10,500 on top of the standard Nissan Latio and consists of the following items:

  • Impul Aerokit - consists of a front grille, front rear and side skirts, and wing spoiler
  • Impul Sports Suspension System - absorbers and springs that lower ride height by 25mm and like most factory tailored sports suspensions, they are supposed improve handling while keeping ride comfort to a decent level
  • Impul Blast II Exhaust Muffler - a stainless steel exhaust muffler that improves engine response and gives the engine a sportier note
  • 17 inch Impul NS GTII alloy wheels - gold-coloured wheels that weigh 6.48kg wrapped with Dunlop Formula D 01 205/45R17 tyres

Impul performance parts are also available to existing Nissan Latio owners. Shown in the image above is the Nissan Latio Sport hatchback version of the kit, but the kit is also available for the sedan version of the Latio.

Have a look after the jump for a picture of the sedan version and some prices.

    Now it looks more like its american sibling tiida in sprots package. Quite nice, but look ackward somewhere. Latio is flop for Nissan + Tan Chong here in Malaysia due to its pricing. thank god they’ve got livina to cover.

    forget something: this is 1000 times better than those @#$% bodykits on Vios, Altis and Innova…..

    If you sieve through all the marketing material, the only ‘performance’ part that will allegedly increase your hp or torque is the RM 2,000 exhaust.

    Which means that the other Impul complete cars that you get is only bodykits and exhausts? I could argue about bigger tyres improving the performance of a 120hp engine.

    Thank you very much. Let’s move on.

    Nice lah! BUT, they should offer the 5-door in either 1.6l manual or 1.8l Auto guise. Then only perfect. 1.6l auto, can kena smoke from Swift Sport, memalukan saja.

    hey guys, notice the front bumper skirt is slightly different from original version. The version here is not looking good campare with japanese impul version.

    the version available here is a bit ugly. see japanese impul version http://www.impul.co.jp//products/model/C11_TIIDA/C11_DSCN4140_800.jpg

    i like that much.

    but the back skirt is same. and that is acceptable.

    The more i see the Latio Sport with the impul bodykit, the more i like it.. Its kind of a very cool looking lifestyle vehicle. It is slightly overpriced though. Having the sport suspension too is a big plus point.. The ride maybe a bit rough but at least the suspension will suit the low profile tyres and the lowered profileof the car. Won’t scrape so much la with the firmer sport suspension.
