Now this is something you don’t see very often! Fresh off the boat from the Land of the Rising Sun is the Nissan Clipper – a three-cylinder commercial kei truck, a rebadged version of the Mitsubishi Minicab. Kei of course, is JDM-speak for anything micro. With an overall length of 3,395 mm, it’s a full 560 mm shorter than the Honda Jazz and over 200 mm narrower than the B-segment hatch!
At its heart rests a 3G83 660 cc three-pot, producing 48 hp at 5,250 rpm and 62 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Drive is exclusively channeled to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual transmission. It’s a strict two-seater and has a maximum allowable payload of 2,000 kg.
This particular commercial kei truck rides on 12-inch wheels (try getting a replacement tyre for that!) and is void of all creature comforts a modern car buyer expects. It gets manual air-con control, Japan-spec radio head unit, a simplistic instrument cluster with a central speedometer and a fuel and temperature gauge on each side, as well as manually-adjustable wing mirrors.
Six variants of the Clipper will be offered, from the entry-level steel body, wooden cargo, luton box (extended over-cab box), mobile food truck and pasar malam luton. Prices start from RM30,000 to RM50,000, and it can only be purchased as a company-registered vehicle. All reconditioned units of the Clipper come with a three-month or 5,000 km warranty coverage.
For an up close and personal look at the Clipper, you may visit Combine Motor, located in One Selayang, Batu Caves.

This Nissan sold by grey car dealer, wonder how they got the AP paper and import tax waiver breakthrough to price at RM30k.
Very nice… now please bring in the Nissan Note e-power with that price please. Thank you.
Why didn’t suzuku come up with a jimny truck to take advantage of lower taxes.
K-Truck…
But why is the engine room looks so old a dirty.
It looks like a re-furbished or repainted from second hand shop….|||
Did you read the post? Yes it refurbished unit from mitsu minicab
Good & cheap to convert to Food-Truck. Many can afford to do the business. Now everyone can “Food-Truck” instead of Everyone can Fly. Sorry Air Asia, I copy your tag line. Cheers…
It looks like a used truck ler! The engine compartment is not clean and new
Perodua Kancil standard tyre is 12 inch.
why Tan Chong@nissan did not bring a new model to malaysia?
good for pasar malam traders..good job nissan!
How embarrassing. If I had to drive this, I’d wear a helmet to hide my face.
suprisingly how nissan bringing this in, and cheap to boot
can seeing more food truck in the future
This is actually a rebadged mitsubishi townbox. Proton Juara dashboard is 100% similar to this. All the door panel, meter panel can use proton juara. Hahaha even the door is interchangeable with juara. Some of the local juara club member already convert to this mitsubishi townbox front nose cut (changed headlamp and bumper)
Time to replace your 4-speed auto Almera. Model with Jatco torque converter CVT with 7-speed sequential or paddle shifters transmission.
good manual.. too bad only company registration
This thing has a trace of Proton Juara DNA, if you remember the famous Proton ‘van roti’.
The sixth generation Nissan Clipper @ Mitsubishi Minicab/Townbox @ Proton Juara.
shorter than a jazz? so what actual use for it? for pasar malam might be barely enough.
anyone else think the Wira Pickup was actually a neat idea?
Why is the cigarette lighter and sound system head unit so grubby? They are worse than what you find in a used car.
And that sound system lol – head unit and speaker are one!
I’m imagining myself sending toufu on twisty roads with a kei truck.
Deja Vu!
I’m not sure why, but I want one.
Penuh tepi pasar borong nanti
