The all-new Livina is essentially a twin of the Mitsubishi Xpander

Nissan just launched the all-new Livina in the Philippines, featuring a fresh yet familiar design, and a whole lot of features that are necessary in this day and age.

In case you're wondering why the all-new Nissan Livina looks so familiar, it is the twin of the Mitsubishi Xpander. Since both brands are part of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, it is no surprise that both models share the same DNA. 

In terms of design, the all-new Nissan Livina sports Nissan's striking V-Motion grille, which is complemented by a front under spoiler, the brand’s signature LED tail lamps, and daytime running lights. While some variants get silver accents, some of the variants come with black.

Inside, the seven-seater MPV in the Philippines market comes with 6-way manual adjustable driver seats, as well as fold and tumble seats for the 2nd and 3rd rows. 

Other highlights include the Keyless Entry System, a push button engine start and stop system, dial-type air conditioning system, a 7” touchscreen display with an audio and handsfree phone control, and multiple charging and connectivity ports at the center console. 

It also has black leather material seats, a leather detailed steering wheel with a tilt and telescopic feature, 12 cup holders, and multiple storage compartments across the interior.

The All-New Livina also comes with Nissan Intelligent Mobility and various safety features which includes the Hill Start Assist feature. It also has a reverse camera, airbags, anti-lock braking system, vehicle dynamic control, traction control system, and parking sensors.
 

Powering the All-New Livina is a 1.5 DOHC engine with a maximum power output of 105 ps and 141 Nm of torque and comes in two transmission options in the Philippines - either 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual.

“The All-New Livina is modern and practical MPV that first time families and first time car buyers will appreciate and trust. As part of Nissan’s transformation plan, we hope to reach more customers through this exciting offering to this competitive and fast growing segment,” says Juan Manuel Hoyos, Nissan Philippines President.

Available in five colors (Royal Ruby Red, Moonstone Grey, Diamond Pearl White, Onyx Black, Platinum Silver), the all-new Nissan Livina comes in four variants in the Philippines. Whether it will come to Malaysia remains unknown for now.
