Navara VL Plus introduced

EDARAN Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd (ETCM) today introduced a new addition to its pickup line-up, the Nissan Navara VL Plus, with Nissan Intelligent Mobility technology and enhanced safety features.
The new Navara VL Plus is equipped with intelligent around view monitor (I-AVM), a Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM) technology which uses four cameras to provide a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of the vehicle for easier navigation in tight spots and tricky parking situations. Seven airbags (dual front, side and curtain airbags, as well as driver knee airbag) are also included for added protection, while the new digital speedometer housed within the advance driver-assist display offers more driving convenience.
ETCM says that the Navara VL Plus remains unchanged in “delivering a dynamic driving performance”, with a 2.5-litre turbo intercooler diesel engine that outputs 187.4hp and 450Nm of torque, and fitted with a first-in-class seven-speed automatic transmission with manual mode for an invigorating drive.
The Navara VL Plus comes with five years or 150,000km (whichever comes first) warranty, and is also available in the aggressive Black Series package. Below are prices for the Navara 2.5L VL Plus and Navara 2.5L VL Plus – Black Series.
