At long last, the Nissan Sentra Nismo has finally been unveiled for the Los Angeles Auto Show, nearly three years after a concept was first shown to us at precisely the same location. Drawing upon the heritage of previous performance sedans like the Datsun 510 and Sentra SE-R, this new Sentra (or Sylphy as it is known here) is the fourth Nismo model sold in the United States, joining the Juke, 370Z and GT-R.
Under the hood, the Sentra Nismo carries the same engine as the SR Turbo variant – a MR16DDT 1.6 litre direct-injected turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with 188 hp and 240 Nm of torque. This is a far cry for the 2013 concept, which packed a larger 1.8 litre turbo, producing 240 hp and 325 Nm, mated to a six-speed manual and a limited slip differential.
In any case, this Sentra Nismo that goes on sale next year, will be offered with a choice of a six-speed manual or an Xtronic CVT. Without any engine mods, the major performance enhancements have been applied to the chassis, starting with a lowered ride height of 10 mm and stiffened skeleton (extra bracing).
To go along with that, the dampers and steering have been retuned, while 18-inch wheels wrapped with 215/45R18 Michelin Pilot Sport tyres have also been applied. Buyers can also opt for Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R rubbers instead if they please.
As for the exterior, there’s a functional Nismo bodykit, featuring new aero bumpers (with red accents), a rear spoiler, new grille and side skirts. Meanwhile, the cabin receives a Nismo instrument cluster, front sports seats, leather shift knob, faux carbon bits and an Alcantara/leather steering wheel.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The 2nd video show/tell very clearly what are the extra you are paying for. Unfortunately, it is available only in the US now. Hope ETC will bring the total package to M’sia & give Honda/Toyota/Mazda/Ford/Peugeot a run for their $$$ in the C-segment.
Nizzan
the 1.6 can develop more horsepower than proton CFE 1.6
It’s a GDI engine, nothing to shout about
As with all nissans, this will come to Malaysia AFTER the model expires and a new model has come out.
Tan Chong Motors all tidur. Launch cars as new cars in Malaysia AFTER the model is expired overseas.
Let us not forget that Tan Chong Motors CEO and Chairman was the one who said 3 years ago it was good for car prices to be high in Malaysia and it was good for car tax to be high. Despite getting bamboo online for that, Tan Chong still has not reduced prices.
design look awesome
I very satisfied with my new Nissan Sylphy. Enjoy to drive and good handing. In my experience journey to Kota Baharu at Pantai Cahaya Bulan from Subang follow Gombak-Karak-LPT2 about 5++km(one way) fil full tank at Subang and still have balance half tank when i arrive at destination. Speed 120 rpm just 1900. That why you all can see now all car start use CVT. B4 all people always talk bad thing about CVT and Nissan it self have experience more than 20 years about this engine. Buy the technology not just the logo. No heart feeling, just told the fact.
Your Nissan is which year? Just sharing
ooo wai..
Bring this in! Basic one just fine let Malaysian outsourcing sportier at accessories shop.Sylphy starts at 112k..this one is below sylphy category.Price it 85-95k sure sell.Vios will crying louder
this car is on par with civic n altis
Outside of Asia, Sylphy is known as Sentra. So its same car
how is this car below sylphy category when it is a sylphy?
its is in a higher category than the standard sylphy hence the nismo badging.
Forgive him Marlboro, he is confused or cannot tell a B-segment car from a C-segment car.
Kamal Chong Chandra, can you read?
i guess not since you can differentiate between a sylphy and a sylphy. if you say the price of the sylphy is 112k, obviously the nismo version would be more expensive. if it was 85-95k, the wouldnt be branding it nismo.
What are you talking about? This IS a Sylphy! (USA version.)
This is Nissan Slyphy in malaysia, starting at 112k…bet the bodykit alone will price at 5k.
Car sales is sliding into the abyss.
look at rival UMW.Today…STAR newspaper…DISCOUNTS STARTING rm 6.5 k to rm 10K…starting from Vios to Camry.
OMG…. Ist batch Sienta buyers must be cursing…rm 7500 rebate!!!By just waiting 2 months,you have a whole year of instalments wiped out!!!
The writing is on the wall.
CAR SALES is not recovering in this GST laden economy.
Next month,they r going to jack up prices,due to the worst performing currency in Asia.
STOP BUYING NEW CARS….. FOR 6 MONTHS….U CAN SEE BETTER AND HEFTIER DISCOUNTS.
LET THE RAKYAT ENFORCE A MORATORIUM….UNTIL next PRU. ‘WHEN THE BUYING STOPS,THE PRICE WILL DROP”
Stop using cars/motors. Start using public transport like what PM tells us to do.
Front end looks convoluted, as if forced upon.
Put 4B11 turbo in there and rebadge it as Evo 11.
