Nissan Livina X-Gear testing with trade plates in Malaysia

Nissan Livina X-Gear testing with trade plates in Malaysia

Reader Kevin Ng snapped this white vehicle that looks somewhat like a Nissan Grand Livina and posted it up on our Facebook Fan Page wall. It had its badges taped up and had some kind of off-roader style bodykit, ala the Suzuki SX-4 or the Volkswagen Cross Polo.

But this isn’t a Grand Livina, it’s actually a variation of the Livina called the Livina X-Gear, which is available in Indonesia. The same vehicle is also sold in China as the Livina C-Gear.

The Grand Livina available here thus far is actually an extended Livina, where a third row of seats are added to make it a 7-seater. The Livina is a 5-seater. Both have a 2,600mm wheelbase though, as Nissan managed to cram in a third row via a lengthened rear overhang without having to lengthen the center section of the car.

As you can see, the section between the C pillar and the D pillar on this Livina is quite different from that of a Grand Livina – it is shorter and the rear window kink is differently shaped. You can click on the two pictures above to view a higher resolution image.

Look after the jump for a frontal studio shot of the Livina X-Gear.

    The grand livina we get here are quite ugly and unproportionate. The x gear livina though looks much handsome. Not as extended and herse-like.

    • mind your spelling it is hearse …… c’mon i’ve not seen any Grand Livina being used as hearse. It is the Estima that is widely used as hearse … hahah unless for small size ppl like Tooluke maybe Alza or Avanza also can fit you !

    If the 1.6L manual is priced at RM72k in WM and RM75k in EM with 2 airbags, ABS and EBD, it will eat a large portion of Vios customers. Sounds quite impossible?
    Automatic RM3000 more expensive, 5-speeder.

    Wat i knew from nissan sales ppls:

    This car will announced end of July, and launch at Sept.

    Nissan sales ppls call it: baby livina :D, coz malaysian think tat grand livina = livina, to prevent confuse they called it baby livina or X-gear.

    Confirm tat this car got 2 type engine: 1.6 and 1.8 litre. But not sure it is come with both MT and AT. And, spec should be same with Indonesia nissan official website.

    1.6 model pricing should be around 75k~80k. 1.8 model >80k.

    Nissan sells this Livina X-Gear here in Brazil.

    At least in the Brazilian model, suspension, engine, transmission and interior looks are equal to the 5-seat Livina.

    So it’s basically the 5-seat Livina with plastic bumpers and props to make it look like a “off road” and attract younger shoppers who do not buy regular minivans.
