Nissan Philippines Inc. (NPI) takes premium driving experiences a class above the rest, with the introduction of a refreshed Nissan Altima model at the 6th Philippine International Motor Show.

“Because you deserve a ride that keeps up with your drive, every facet of the new Nissan Altima is designed and built to ensure that nothing holds you back.” Ramesh Narasimhan, NPI President and Managing Director, said. “It is the dynamic sedan that matches your relentless drive for success.”


TAKING COMMAND OF THE ROAD

The new Nissan Altima’s redesigned looks takes charge from the get-go, making an unmistakable impression of leadership. Starting with the strong contouring lines, a redesigned front fascia, to the brilliant LED headlamps, the Nissan Altima’s overall external redesign commands a strong presence on the road.

Inside, the new Nissan Altima maintains its dignified air of style and substance as it blends comfort with luxury. A new smart cockpit makes for easier multitasking. Switches on the steering wheel allows drivers to switch modes – audio control, drive computer, phone connectivity, and cruise control – intuitively to avoid distractions on the road. Sophistication is underscored by the choice of premium materials for its appointments, such as leather power seats, 9 speaker Bose audio system, push button start switch, and sunroof.

Powering the new Altima is a 2.5L CVT engine, delivering 180PS power with 243 Nm torque, for a smooth yet powerful drive. The CVT transmission expands the gear ratio, leading to improved fuel economy and acceleration for a premium driving feel. The new Nissan Altima also features a new multi-link suspension with Active Under-steering control for superior handling and luxurious riding comfort.

Safety can also be seen in how the new Nissan Altima includes in-features such as airbags, speed sensing door locks, speed-sensing Hydraulic Electric Power steering, and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with Active Understeer Control, an advanced electronic driving aid that minimizes understeer in dynamic driving and emergency maneuvers for a more confident and safer approach.

For comfort, good looks and quality of ride, the new Nissan Altima is a good choice in its class. The 2.5L CVT Nissan Altima is available for Php1,745,000, and comes in Black Obsidian, Pearl White and Cayenne Red.

Honda Cars Philippines, Inc. (HCPI), Honda’s automobile business unit, shows off an even sportier New HR-V MUGEN prototype at the 6th Philippine International Motor Show (PIMS).

In line with Honda’s Joyful Future Journeys theme, the new accessorized prototype for Honda’s Crossover Compact SUV is exhibited to reflect Honda’s constant development and innovation to provide products that will be appreciated by the Philippine market.

The New HR-V MUGEN prototype is designed with a New MUGEN Front Grille, New 17-inch Alloy Wheels, New MUGEN Side Stripe Sticker, and a Modified Tailgate Spoiler. To complete its aggressive sporty look, it retains the current HR-V 1.8 EL MUGEN’s Front Under Spoiler, Side Under Spoiler, Rear Under Spoiler, and MUGEN Emblem.

The interior design of the New HR-V MUGEN prototype retains the same “Expansive Cockpit” concept, which consists of a high deck console that attributes not only to its coupe like stance, but also to its wide and spacious front row. The New HR-V MUGEN also showcases generous cargo space, and flexible ULT seats that allows for different configurations depending on the customer’s needs:
Utility Mode – with the seat folded flat, used for carrying two passengers and large items
Tall Mode – with the seat folded up, this is the mode for carrying two or three passengers and tall items in the second row;
Long mode – with the seat folded flat and the front passenger seat reclined all the way back, for carrying two passengers and a very long item like a surfboard.

The New HR-V MUGEN prototype is powered by the same 1.8 liter i-VTEC engine that delivers maximum power output of 141 ps at 6500 rpm and 172 NM of torque at 4300 rpm. The 1.8 liter i-VTEC engine is mated to a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) developed under Earth Dreams Technology that delivers a dynamic driving performance with uncompromised fuel efficiency.
