Nissan Elgrand arrives in Singapore

As its name suggests, the Mobile Suite is uniquely positioned as a luxurious "grand" splendour which promises a spacious interior that can house a wide array of customisable state-of-the-art features.

Since its first launch in 2007, the Nissan Elgrand has been well-received among top executives and celebrities in Japan and Hong Kong. Today, the Nissan Elgrand Mobile Business Edition embodies itself as a confident and gallant alternative to extravagant limousines.

Designed to facilitate business activities for corporate executives as well as the hospitality industry that encompass hotels and Integrated Resort operators, the Nissan Elgrand's interior is embedded with three PCs endowed with internet capabilities. Users will be empowered with real time news and information, weather feeds, stock quotes as well as a food and travel directory guide. The experience of an extensive connectivity with the world is epitomised in the 'Mobile' concept of the Nissan Elgrand.

There are a total of five seating arrangements in the Nissan Elgrand. The Normal Relax Mode refers to the standard sitting arrangement in all vehicles, with the centre console at the second-row seats serving as an armrest. To create a Walk-Through Mode - with a passage area between the second-row and third-row seats - the same centre console can be slid and lifted to open up space. Alternatively, if passengers want to conduct a face-to-face meeting, the second-row seats can be swivelled around to face the third-row seats, with the centre console transformed into a table. To accommodate luggage, the third-row seats can be flattened and folded sideways to create a wide cargo area. Lastly, all the seats can also be transformed into the Flat Mode to create a comfortable and relaxing lounge seating arrangement.

The performance of the Nissan Elgrand is enhanced with the introduction of a re-engineered VQ25DE 2,495cc V6 engine. This improved engine not only provides responsive and smooth acceleration - it also ensures that fuel consumption is optimally efficient, thus bringing driving to a new level of experience. The Nissan Elgrand also features a 5-Speed automatic transmission with Manual Mode, which allows drivers to make smooth gear transitions.

Drivers can choose their preferred colour of the Nissan Elgrand to truly enhance its appearances and match their business personalities. The Nissan Elgrand is available in white pearl, brilliant silver, red purple and mystic black.

The listed price is S$138,000, but Tan Chong is having limited a special launch price of only S$117,500. A Mobile Business Edition is also available at $166,000, while a VIP Edition at $142,200.
