Nissan Grand Livina 1.6 Eng pics

The engine, the day I picked up my new rides.

Nissan HR16DE - CVTC or VTC

This Nissan Grand Livina I purchased is a 1.6 HR16DE engine.

It is not cVTC - Continuous Variable Timing Control.  Unlike The Nissan Latio/Versa/Tiida 1.6 which is a 1.6cVTC.  Why?

Though it is without cVTC, but does it come with VTC - Variable Timing Control?

Hm.........

What 's the comparison like?

My New Nissan Grand Livina 1.6 AT pickup on 24JUN11

Handed off Renault Kangoo on 24JUN11

Today 24JUN11 is the day I handed over my Renault Kangoo 1.4 Petrol AT to Tan Chong (Nissan distributor and assembler in Malaysia), as a trade-in.  And drove away a brand new Nissan Grand Livina.

There was a Nissan Grand Livina (NGL) face lift launch on 10JUN11 (FRI).  I visited Tan Chong in Putrajaya and just checked up how much would my JUN05 worth.  I was told RM15K ONLY.

Visited Tan Chong again on the morning of 12JUN (SUN) with family.  Test drove both 1.8AT and 1.6AT and asked the same question. I was offered RM24K on my 6-year old Kangoo.........

After reconsidering 4 hours or so, both wife and I decided to trade-in for the cheaper 1.6 AT NGL.  The 1.6AT us immediate stock.  1.8AT would require 2-month waiting period.

I guess then the actual sell-off date of my Kangoo is on 12JUN11 then, where I signed the booking of a new NGL.

So it is exactly 6 years of usage.  When handing over my Kangoo, the mileage was 199555KM.

Anyway, my Renault  Kangoo 's road tax and insurance expires exactly today too.

Well, in the morning I did a last car wash myself on the Kangoo.  It was after all 6 years of 'love'.  :(....

Bye Goo

Kangoo Malaysia Road Tax 1 year = RM100,

 because it is registered as a van
