REDLINE FITNESS GAMES POWERED BY NISSAN: A SPECTACLE OF STRENGTH AND COMMUNITY

Kuala Lumpur,  17 July 2024 – Marking a triumphant return to the MINES International Exhibition and Convention Centre (MIECC) for the second consecutive year, the REDLINE Fitness Games Powered by NISSAN concluded on a high note this weekend. Held from 13 to 14 July 2024, this year’s event was built on the overwhelming response from its inaugural edition in 2023, attracting over 6,000 participants and spectators.

Supported by Rakan Muda, an initiative under the Ministry of Youth and Sports,  the partnership highlighted a shared commitment to fostering a culture of health, fitness, and community spirit across Malaysia. Rakan Muda’s involvement further enhanced the event’s visibility and appeal among young and active individuals throughout the region, contributing to the vibrant atmosphere and strong community engagement witnessed over the course of the two days.

The event also saw one lucky participant, Amanda Chen, as the new owner of a brand-new NISSAN Navara PRO-4X Pickup Truck. Returning as the title sponsor, NISSAN significantly contributed to the event’s success not only by sponsoring the lucky draw grand prize but also through substantial support that enhanced every aspect of the competition.

“More than just a competition, REDLINE Fitness Games Powered by NISSAN represents a commitment to fostering a strong, healthy, and engaged community. This year’s record participation by local and international fitness enthusiasts surpassed last year’s numbers, bearing testament to the event’s growing influence and the collective effort towards enhancing youth engagement and promoting a fit lifestyle across Malaysia,” said Callum Meehan, Events Director of REDLINE.

“We are excited to end today’s event with the giveaway of a NISSAN Navara PRO-4X that truly lives up to our tagline of No Task Too Tough. The NISSAN Navara PRO-4X, known for its strength and durability, perfectly aligns with the values of REDLINE Fitness Games Powered by NISSAN and symbolises our commitment to excellence and adventure,” said Mr Daniel Ho Wai Ming, Group Chief Executive Officer, Tan Chong Motor Holdings Berhad.

REDLINE Fitness Games Powered by NISSAN is a dynamic functional fitness competition designed to push participants’ physical and mental limits through a series of challenging workout stations. Each of the 12 stations rigorously tests various aspects of fitness, including cardiovascular endurance, strength, agility, and coordination. Central to the REDLINE concept is the idea of “redlining” – pushing oneself to the peak of physical and mental performance. This narrative not only drives the competition but also fosters a community spirit of resilience, personal achievement, and mutual support among participants.

To ensure inclusivity, the games featured a variety of categories to cater to different fitness levels: Singles Beginner, Singles Competitive, Singles Open, Doubles, and Team Relay. This diversity allowed participants from all walks of life to engage in the competition, from fitness novices to seasoned athletes, ensuring that every participant could find a challenge that suited their fitness journey.

In the competitive categories, the top performers were duly rewarded for their perseverance. In the Men’s Singles Competitive category, Marcus Funken secured first place, followed by Pierre Algret in second, and Nick Tisinger in third. The Women’s Singles Competitive category saw Claire Nesbitt taking the top spot, with Jasmine Miedl and Yi Zhen Lim finishing second and third respectively. The winners in both categories received cash prizes of RM 5,000, RM 2,000, and RM 1,000 for first, second, and third places respectively.

As the event drew to a close, plans for next year’s edition are already in motion, promising an even bigger and better experience for all participants. REDLINE Fitness Games Powered by NISSAN will return for a third time in 2025, continuing its mission to promote fitness and foster community spirit among Malaysians.

“We would like to express our profound gratitude to all our partners who have been integral to the success of this event. Thank you to Rakan Muda and Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau for supporting the event. Additionally, a special thank you to our main partners – Anytime Fitness, Astro, Astro Gempak, AVIRON Racing, Concept 2, and Savage Gears; and to our supporting partners – 100 PLUS, citizenM, NOCCO, Sun & Sand Sports, Sunway Medical Centre Velocity, Therabody, and TRX,” Callum added.

All in all, REDLINE Fitness Games Powered by NISSAN was a resounding success, setting new benchmarks for participation and community engagement. The event not only celebrated the dedication and achievements of its participants but also underscored the importance of collaboration in driving societal well-being and promoting a healthy lifestyle.

With the support of its partners and the community, REDLINE Fitness Games Powered by NISSAN is poised to continue its journey of empowering Malaysians through fitness and unity.

NISSAN ALMERA 1.0L TURBO ACHIEVES AMAZING FUEL EFFICIENCY OF 28.61KM/L IN NISSAN LIGHTFOOT QUEST 2024

  • Contest to showcase the impressive fuel efficiency of the Nissan Almera 1.0L Turbo
  • Attracted 30 teams comprising Nissan Almera owners and members of media
  • Fuel efficiency evaluated over a distance of 203km from Petaling Jaya to Ipoh
  • Deserving winners took home prizes worth an accumulated RM10,500

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 June 2024 – An outstanding Nissan Almera 1.0L Turbo fuel efficiency of 28.61km/L was recorded by the winning participant at the Nissan Lightfoot Quest 2024. Muhammad Nifail Bin Basri of Kuala Lumpur managed this remarkable feat in a Nissan Almera Turbo after completing the 203km route which started at the Nissan 3S Flagship Store in Petaling Jaya, Selangor and ending at Ipoh, Perak, consumed merely seven (7) litres of petrol for the entire trip. Muhammad Nifail and his partner triumphed over 20 other Almera owners which also saw the second and third place finishers achieving impressive fuel consumption readings of 27.31km/L and 27.14km/L respectively.

In a separate category for members of the media comprising 9 teams, a commendable fuel efficiency of 28.20km/L was achieved by Gan Yong Li and Muhammad Sharil Bin Tarmize of Pandulaju.com.my, proving that the Nissan Almera Turbo can be efficient even in the hands of drivers who may not be as familiar with the car as the owners.

“We are proud to be holding the Nissan Lightfoot Quest once again, this time to showcase the exceptional fuel efficiency of the Nissan Almera 1.0L Turbo. Not only is the Almera Turbo stylish and fun to drive, its technologically-advanced turbocharged powertrain allows it to be responsive yet frugal in everyday use. With petrol prices expected to be adjusted upwards in the near future, the Nissan Almera Turbo is an even more compelling option in the B-sedan segment,” said Khoo Cheng Pah, Chief Executive Officer of Edaran Tan Chong Motor.

The Nissan Lightfoot Quest 2024 involved a total of 30 teams comprising 21 owners driving their own Almera Turbo and 9 members of the media in identical vehicles prepared by ETCM. The route covered a distance of 203km starting from the Nissan 3S Flagship Store in Petaling Jaya, Selangor and finishing at the Uniti Republic Café in Ipoh, Perak, with a pitstop at BHP Bandar Seri Botani, Ipoh where the fuel efficiency of each participating vehicle was tabulated and verified.

To ensure a level playing field and fuel efficiency levels that can be replicated in real-world conditions, every participating Almera Turbo were required to be in their original, unmodified condition conforming to factory specifications and manufactured between the year of 2020 and 2024. Additionally, participating vehicles had to retain their original seats, door cards and spare wheel in the boot while drivers were also required to be accompanied by a passenger 18 years of age and above.

Aside from adhering to the stipulated route, the challenge had to be completed within three hours with each vehicle’s fuel lid secured with tamper-proof stickers which were inspected before the journey’s fuel efficiency was calculated (based on the three-click method) at the petrol pumps of BHPetrol Station at Bandar Seri Botani, Ipoh.

“I would like to thank all the participants of the Nissan Lightfoot Quest 2024, particularly the passionate Nissan Almera owners and members of the media for pushing their vehicles and challenging themselves to unlock commendable levels of fuel efficiency in the Nissan Almera Turbo. I would like to extend my sincerest thanks and appreciation to BHPetrol on their invaluable sponsorship of this exciting and fun event. The winning entry of 28.61km/L is remarkable as this is much higher than the official fuel efficiency figures of the Nissan Almera Turbo at 18.4km/L. Congratulations to all the winners!” enthused Khoo.

About the Nissan Almera 1.0L Turbo

Powered by the latest technologies of Nissan Intelligent Mobility and secured by Nissan Safety Shield 360, the Nissan Almera 1.0L Turbo is one of the most advanced B-segment sedans in the market, offering cutting-edge driving aids such as Intelligent Forward Collision Warning (IFCW) and Intelligent Forward Emergency Braking (IFEB) which are standard across all three variants of the Almera model line-up, with the top VLT grade adding Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) and Intelligent Around View Monitor (IAVM) 360° camera with Moving Object Detection (IMOD).

To achieve its impressive fuel efficiency rating of 18.4km per litre, the Nissan Almera Turbo utilises the Mirror Bore Coating technology derived from the iconic R35 Nissan GT-R in its turbocharged engine to reduce friction and heat, complemented by the ultra-efficient XTRONIC Continuously Variable Transmission with D-Step Logic and Sport Mode. The Almera Turbo’s torque output of 152Nm from its 1.0-litre turbocharged engine easily eclipses competitors’ 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engines.

Inspired by a ‘Gliding Wing’, the dashboard and interior of the Almera Turbo is contemporary and stylish in design, utilising soft-touch premium materials accentuated with chrome, piano black and carbon-fibre pattern trim. A flat-bottom three-spoke steering wheel and colourful 7-inch semi-digital meter cluster exude sportiness to get the driver in the mood, along with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlayTM and Android AutoTM. Occupants seated at the back are also pampered with generous legroom courtesy of the Almera’s wheelbase of 2,620mm.

THE NEXT CHAPTER OF ELECTRIFIED MOBILITY: DISCOVER NISSAN e-POWER AT THE MALAYSIA AUTOSHOW 2024

  • Nissan showcases e-POWER technology at MAEPS Serdang
  • To embark on the next chapter of electrified mobility in Malaysia
  • Unique combination of instant torque, quiet yet relaxing drive and top-level fuel efficiency of 21.7km/L
  • All-new Nissan e-POWER model to be launched in the second half of this year

Kuala Lumpur, 21st May 2024 – As an innovator and pioneer of electric vehicles, Nissan is set to take another step in electrified mobility through the groundbreaking technology of e-POWER. Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn Bhd, the official distributor of Nissan vehicles in Malaysia, will showcase how e-POWER is going to excite visitors and car buyers during the Malaysia Autoshow 2024, to be held from 22nd May to 26th May 2024 at MAEPS Serdang, Selangor.

The e-POWER drive system is a technology unique to Nissan, it utilises a petrol engine and Lithium-ion battery to power an electric motor – the electric motor solely drives the wheels. It responds similarly to an electric car, providing instant torque and also has lower tailpipe emissions and running costs compared to a traditional combustion engine, but without the need to plug in. In addition to the petrol engine, e-POWER also uses regenerative braking to help keep the battery topped up.

In unveiling e-POWER at the Malaysia Autoshow 2024, Khoo Cheng Pah, Chief Executive Officer of Edaran Tan Chong Motor remarked, “The transformation which the automotive industry is currently undergoing presents unique challenges and opportunities. Battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have no doubt captured the attention of consumers, but there are barriers to adoption in large numbers. As the first automotive brand to mass produce electric vehicles with the Nissan LEAF, a model which ETCM introduced back in 2013, we are ready to embark on the another step in electrifying mobility for Malaysians through e-POWER.”

“The intelligent proposition of e-POWER combines the best attributes of different drive systems – the fun-to-drive characteristics of an EV, the freedom from never having to charge the car and the savings of an ultra-efficient petrol-powered vehicle. Nissan vehicles powered by e-POWER constantly rank amongst the best-selling cars in Japan, coveted for their invigorating drive, efficiency and refinement, minus the drawbacks associated with EV ownership. We are optimistic that Malaysians will come to the same conclusion when we launch our first e-POWER in the second half of this year,” added Khoo.

What’s e-POWER and how it works

Nissan e-POWER is an innovative and award-winning electric-drive powertrain that integrates an internal combustion engine with an electric motor. Since the engine is only utilised to generate electricity, the wheels are 100% driven by a high-output motor. Just like an EV, e-POWER offers an immediate throttle response as an electric motor can generate maximum torque instantaneously. The Nissan e-POWER electrified powertrain earned the accolade of “Technology of the Year” from the Automotive Researchers & Journalists’ Conference of Japan (RJC) in 2021.

The e-POWER motor control, powertrain integration and battery management technologies leverage on Nissan’s extensive development on EVs. The main components of an e-POWER system consists of a Lithium-ion battery, a high-power electric motor, inverter, generator and a combustion engine with class-leading thermal efficiency.

Unlike conventional self-charging hybrids where the wheels are primarily and directly driven by the engine, the e-POWER’s intelligent control system regulates engine operation independently based on factors such as vehicle speed, road conditions, degree of acceleration and battery charge levels. As a result, the driving experience is quiet and refined with less frequent engine operation compared to conventional hybrids.

At low to medium speeds, such as in urban areas, the vehicle is mainly driven by the electric motor powered by the lithium-ion battery for an EV-like performance. When driven at high speeds where rolling noise is elevated, the engine runs at optimal RPM to generate sufficient electricity to power the motor, and when strong acceleration is required, the motor combines the electricity generated by the engine and the electricity from the lithium-ion battery to power the vehicle.

Like EVs, e-POWER also offers the convenience of single-pedal driving where brake pedal operation can be reduced by nearly 70% through regenerative braking which can slow the vehicle while replenishing the battery.

Other Nissan highlights at the Malaysia Autoshow 2024

Situated at Booth A11 of Hall A, the Nissan pavilion at the Malaysia Autoshow 2024 is also displaying the new Nissan Almera Turbo KURO (Black) Edition updated with sporty cosmetic touches complemented by factory-fitted TOMEI aero-kit and accessories, and presented in an exclusive Glacial Grey body colour.

Standing tall and ruggedly handsome alongside the Almera Turbo is the Nissan Navara PRO-4X Ironman Edition. Experience first-hand the robust yet sophisticated 4×4 pick-up truck that’s always in its element whether traversing the tropical rainforest or the concrete jungle.

The line-up is completed by the ever-popular Nissan Serena Premium Highway Star – a premium MPV that can do-it-all for families, from daily school runs to holiday getaways. The ultra-versatile Serena continues to amaze Malaysians who can’t get enough of its intelligent practicality, fuel-efficiency and advanced safety features.

ETCM KICK-STARTS NATIONWIDE ENHANCE OF SHOWROOMS WITH NISSAN RETAIL CONEPT (NRC)

  • New Nissan Retail Concept (NRC) Outlet Open at Cyberjaya
  • Providing new personalised customer experience for new customers and existing Nissan vehicle owners

Kuala Lumpur, 7 May 2024 – Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn. Bhd. (ETCM) proudly unveiled the NRC-NEXT concept for another Nissan showroom, located at Cyberjaya, Selangor.

This new showroom concept reaffirms the company’s commitment in providing excellent customer experience and enhancing customer satisfaction as they interact with the Nissan brand name.

The NRC was mooted to innovate Nissan dealerships and deliver world-class service standards to Nissan customers across the globe. It is centred on showcasing Nissan’s brand values across the entire customers’ journey at the dealership touchpoint, whether it is to test drive the latest model or to drop the car off for a regular service. Every touchpoint of a NRC- or NRC-NEXT-compliant retail facility will undergo reimagined and refined to deliver excitement and satisfaction to the customer.

Mr. Khoo Cheng Pah, Chief Executive Officer of ETCM expressed his enthusiasm about the company’s latest endeavour, “At ETCM, our customers are at the heart of everything we do. Our nationwide showroom upgrades reflect our unwavering commitment to providing customers with the best possible experience, from browsing our product offerings to purchasing the vehicles.

Nestled in the thriving township of Autoville Cyberjaya, the only designated hub allowed for automotive sales and car repair service businesses in Cyberjaya, this new RM1.5mil Nissan 3S Centre commenced operations in early January 2024, filling a crucial gap in the market as it strategically caters to potential new customers within Cyberjaya, Sepang and Putrajaya.

The newly opened outlet spans a total built-up area of 7,300 square feet, showcases up to five Nissan models, accompanied by a fleet of test drive vehicles to provide customers with first-hand experience, and a dedicated new vehicle delivery area topped with a cosy customer lounge. The two service bays are able to accommodate up to 200 service throughput per month, ensuring efficient and timely maintenance and repairs.

NISSAN Z NISMO GT500 1-2 FINISH AT ROUND 2 OF FUJI GT 3-HOURS

The second round of the 2024 SUPER GT series specially named as “Super GT FUJI GT 3-Hours” was held at Fuji International Speedway. This edition of Super GT’s annual Golden Week classic marks the first-ever three-hour endurance race for the series at Fuji and also celebrates the 30th anniversary of the series’ first championship event in 1994.

The Nissan Z NISMO GT500 of #3 Z Niterra MOTUL Z of Akisei Takaboshi/Atushi Miyake pairing and car #23 Z MOTUL AUTECH Z driven by Katsumasa Chiyo/Ronnie Quintarelli qualified on 2nd and 3rd  respectively to claim their first GT500 Class victory and a 1 – 2 finish for the season.

Starting driver Takaboshi in #3 Z had a perfect start and overtook the pole-sitter by the first corner. The pair powered their Nissan Z all the way to the finishing line with a 13-second gap over the second placed Nissan Z.  The #23 Z had more to do as they were embroiled in a battle for second and third placing, but with a well-executed pit-stop and the opposition having mechanical failure at the closing stages of the race – Chiyo in #23 Z finally claimed a hard-earned second spot on the podium.

CELEBRATE THE NEW YEAR IN STYLE WITH THE NEW NISSAN ALMERA KURO (BLACK) EDITION

  • Specially developed and factory-fitted KURO (Black) Edition styling enhancements are standard across the range
  • Option to match with exclusive black TOMEI aerokit and packaged accessories
  • Available in a new, attractive exterior body colour – Glacier Grey

KUALA LUMPUR, 5 January 2024 – Step into the new year in style with the new Nissan Almera KURO (Black) Edition, now with enhanced aesthetics that exude a higher level of sporty sophistication and poise. For 2024, a trendy new exterior body colour, Glacier Grey, has been added.

The new Nissan Almera KURO (Black) Edition kicks off with factory-fitted styling enhancements that encompass gloss black front grille cladding and black alloy rims, all of which are applied across the three variants of the Almera as standard equipment. Customers can further expand on the stealthy theme by choosing either the KURO Package or KURO GT Package which elevates the look of the Almera KURO (Black) Edition considerably.     

The KURO Package builds on the aerokit developed exclusively by TOMEI Japan for the Almera Turbo by adopting a Gloss Black Front Bumper Spoiler, Gloss Black Rear Bumper Spoilers, Gloss Black Side Skirts and Gloss Black Boot Lid Spoiler, complemented by thoughtful accessories such as ICE Cool Tinting Film, Sport Pedals, Kicking Plate, Door Handle Protector and Door Visor.

Those seeking to unleash the full styling potential of the Almera KURO (Black) Edition can opt for the KURO GT Package which adds on the distinctive TOMEI GT Wing and 16-inch IMPUL Racing alloy rims for the complete stealth treatment.

* 3-year/100,000km warranty, whichever comes first. Terms & conditions apply.

* KURO GT Package is limited to 300 vehicle sets only and it is exclusively available as an add-on to the VLP & VLT KURO Package.

“The Nissan Almera Turbo embodies what we at Edaran Tan Chong Motor aspire to offer – high-tech, high-value products that are not only affordable to own, but also fun to drive and economical to run. With the enhancements of the KURO (Black) Edition, the Almera Turbo is now more visually striking than ever and we are confident that it will receive the attention it deserves as the most complete sedan in the B-segment,” said Christopher Tan, the Director of Sales and Marketing at Edaran Tan Chong Motor Sdn. Bhd.

Powered by technological innovations under the Nissan Intelligent Mobility and Nissan Safety Shield 360 initiatives, the Nissan Almera Turbo is one of the most advanced B-sedans, offering cutting-edge driving aids such as Intelligent Forward Collision Warning (IFCW) and Intelligent Forward Emergency Braking (IFEB) that are standard across all three variants, with the top VLT grade adding Blind Spot Warning (BSW), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) and Intelligent Around View Monitor (IAVM) 360° camera with Moving Object Detection (IMOD).

To achieve its impressive fuel economy rating of 18.4km per litre, the Nissan Almera Turbo utilises the Mirror Bore Coating technology derived from the iconic R35 Nissan GT-R in its turbocharged engine to reduce friction and heat, supported by the ultra-efficient XTRONIC Continuously Variable Transmission with D-Step Logic and Sport Mode. The Almera Turbo’s 152Nm from its 1.0-litre turbocharged engine comfortably eclipses the torque outputs of competitors’ 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engines.

Inspired by a ‘Gliding Wing’, the Almera Turbo’s instrument panel design is contemporary and finished with premium materials that mixes chrome, piano black, carbon-fibre pattern finishes and a flat-bottom three-spoke steering wheel for a truly sporty cabin ambience. The Nissan Almera also engages the driver with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment display (with Apple CarPlayTM and Android AutoTM) and colourful 7-inch semi-digital meter cluster while pampering passengers at the back with generous legroom courtesy of Almera’s long wheelbase of 2,620mm.

The new Nissan Almera KURO (Black) Edition starts at RM83,888, with a launching promotion at RM1,000* for the KURO Package or RM1,500* for the limited edition KURO GT Package  (limited to 300 vehicle sets only), along with low monthly instalment starting from RM658*. Now available for viewing and test drive at all Nissan Showrooms nationwide.

Customers who are not able to visit a Nissan showroom, they may view necessary product information and arrange a doorstep test-drive from the comforts of their home through the Nissan Online Showroom at www.nissan.com.my/onlineshowroom/.
