  1. ... If I told you that the occupant walk away from this pile of mass unharmed?! This beyond miracles!!! Ermm anyone wants to guess what model was this? Woman Somehow Walks Away From Folded Car In Shocking Semi-Truck Crash Incredible. No, scratch that. This is beyond incredible. We aren't talking about the severity of the crash, though it's not every day you see a car literally folded in half and crushed by a semi-truck. There was a woman in that car, and she's not dead. In fact, she crawled from the car with hardly any injuries at all. So yeah, what's beyond incredible? Whatever it is, that's what we're dealing with here. This crash happened the morning of November 16, on Interstate 5 in Mount Vernon, north of Seattle in Washington State. According to The Seattle Times, traffic was slowing down on the Skagit River Bridge when this Red Nissan was hit from behind by a semi-truck. There was also a semi in front of the car, and the collision caused the rear of the Nissan to fold over. The semi from behind came to a rest on top of the car. The report says a 46-year-old woman was inside, and looking at the pictures in the Twitter post above would have anyone thinking the worst. Washington State Trooper Rocky Oliphant took the photos and relayed information on Twitter, at first calling it a serious injury accident. But then the semi was lifted from the car, and Oliphant says the woman crawled out under her own power. She reportedly complained of minor pain in her head and ribs, and went to the hospital for further observation. We say it again ... beyond incredible. In his Twitter posts, Oliphant says he's never seen anything like this in 14 years on the job. In The Seattle Times report, he points out the manner in which the car folded could explain how the driver escaped serious injury. The back served as a buffer, protecting the passenger compartment while also giving the semi something of a ramp to slide on. While the crash certainly wasn't lucky, he goes on to call the driver the "luckiest unlucky person." Straight up, this crash is legit spooky. Obviously we're thrilled that the driver escaped with just minor injuries, but we keep coming back to one very basic, haunting question: How? Some would say this steps into the spiritual or supernatural realm, and you know what? Looking closely at these images, we wouldn't disagree. Stay safe out there everyone.
  2. Global car giant Nissan is on the brink of collapse after longtime partner Renault revealed plans to sell off its interests in the Japanese carmaker. Insiders claim Nissan, one of Australia’s best-selling car brands, only has one year to survive as the company scrambles to backfill the gaping hole Renault’s departure will leave in its finances. Nissan is now searching for a new investor to ensure its survival beyond 2025, according to reports. Two people with knowledge of the talks reportedly said Nissan was seeking a long-term, steady shareholder like a bank or insurance group to replace some of Renault’s equity holding. “We have 12 or 14 months to survive,” a senior official close to Nissan said. The bombshell departure of Renault comes as Nissan attempts to finalise the terms of its new electric vehicle partnership with arch rival Honda. Reports indicate Nissan is considering “all options” for its future and has not ruled out having Honda buy some of its shares. A series of restructuring measures have been launched at Nissan on the back of declining sales in both China and the US, insiders said. French carmaker Renault has also signalled its willingness to sell its Nissan shares on to Honda as it restructures a 25-year partnership that began in 1999 when Renault saved Nissan from bankruptcy. Historically fierce rival in the automotive market, the Renault departure could be a blessing in disguise for Nissan and Honda as they plan an alliance to combat China’s growing dominance of the electric vehicle market. Nissan and Honda are currently in talks to develop EV and software technology as China ramps up its own EV development and exports globally. An alliance between Honda and Nissan on EVs could help those brands find space to play in the North American market – a particularly poignant point given the change in the political landscape that has seen re-elected president Donald Trump push for more jobs in manufacturing in the US. “This is going to be tough,” a senior official close to Nissan was quoted as saying to the Financial Times. “And in the end, we need Japan and the US to be generating cash.” Nissan has been criticised for falling behind on hybrid technology, with rivals such as Toyota, Hyundai and Kia having capitalised on the boom in petrol-electric models. Nissan does offer its own take on the hybrid theme with its e-Power models, which use a petrol engine only as a generator for an electric motor and battery pack. That tech is available in high-grade versions of the Qashqai small SUV and X-Trail family SUV in Australia. Indeed, Nissan currently has a raft of new or fresh metal on the way in Australia, with a facelifted Qashqai due early in 2025, while in other markets the brand has just refreshed models like the Kicks compact SUV, which plays a price-pivotal role in the US. The brand still hasn’t launched the Ariya electric SUV in Australia, however, with some industry insiders questioning whether the model – which originally debuted in early 2022 – will ever actually go on sale in Australia, with its debut having been pushed back multiple times over the past few years. WILL MITSUBISHI JOIN FIGHT AGAINST CHINA? There is also potential for another Japanese carmaker, Mitsubishi Motors, to enter a potential Nissan-Honda alliance due to Nissan owning a 34 per cent stake in Mitsubishi. While Nissan reportedly plans to cut that stake down to 24 per cent as part of the ongoing restructure with Renault, it leaves the door open for a three-way Japanese alliance. Mitsubishi Motors has said no specific details had been finalised but refused to rule out a potential alliance. “We are currently exploring all possibilities and are eager to co-operate in areas where we can leverage our strengths,” a spokesman said. Despite Renault cutting down its interests in Nissan, the French carmaker is not looking to bail out on the Japanese companies entirely. Insiders claim Renault is also mindful of China’s growing power within the automotive industry and recognises the power a Japanese alliance could represent in the rising EV war. The Japanese trio of carmakers would also be keen to leverage Renault’s ability to unlock the European market, the report said. People with knowledge of the talks said broader collaboration involving Renault and Mitsubishi made strategic sense, although the French group added that there were no discussions at present to this end. Nissan Oceania’s newly appointed vice president and managing director, Andrew Humberstone, recently told industry publication GoAuto that the brand is aiming to recapture a top five position in the market, with plans to bring the brand’s local heritage to life as it tries to increase its local sales share. “We’ve been here for decades, and yet we haven’t told that story. This is something we’re absolutely going to change,” Mr Humberstone told GoAuto. News.com.au has reached out to Nissan Australia for comment on the reports around its future on a global scale. https://www.news.com.au/technology/motoring/nissan-seeks-new-investor-to-survive-renault-exit/news-story/bad4d2c2f7388e5f68a9869fafeb7f6c

  4. While it look more like a facelift of the 5th gen Serena (C27), this actually a brand new model from Nissan, and it is now available in 3 drive train options: petrol only, petrol hybrid and ePower (EV). The gasoline version uses a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine with 150 horsepower (110 kilowatts) and 200 Newton-meters of torque offered with or without all-wheel drive and a CVT. There's also a hybrid e-Power model (2WD only) with a new and quieter 1.4-liter engine producing 98 hp (72 kW) and 123 Nm. Combined with the electric motor, the total system output is 163 hp (120 kW) and 315 Nm.
  5. 2018 Nissan Serena e-POWER Nissan New Serena e-POWER Transmission The new Serena e-POWER does not have a transmission. It is 100% electric motor drive, and smooth acceleration starts from the moment you step on the pedal. In addition, the new Serena e-POWER is equipped with "e-POWER Drive" which can control the acceleration / deceleration at will by operation only with the accelerator pedal, and it is greatly helping to reduce the burden on the driver.

  6. Source:https://www.motor1.com/news/727516/nissan-silvia-return-under-consideration/ With the GT-R on hiatus until the R36 arrives, Nissan's sole sports car is the Z. But at some point, there might be a new performance vehicle positioned between the two. Following the S15's demise in 2002, the Silvia could return one day. This isn't just the usual hot gossip from Japanese magazines, but an actual statement from a company official. Speaking with Top Gear, Nissan's VP of global product strategy admitted there are chances we'll get a new Silvia… eventually. Ivan Espinosa said it would have "good power at the right price that customers find attractive." He didn't go into specifics but we can deduct it would cost more than the $43,000 Z while undercutting the defunct $121,000 GT-R. Similarly, it would pack a greater punch than the 400 horsepower currently offered by the twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 in the Z but less than the 565 hp of the twin-turbo, 3.8-liter V-6 inside the GT-R. The problem sports cars face is that they belong to a niche segment, making it tough to create a viable business case with a limited customer base. Espinosa said the only way a new Silvia could happen is if it becomes a global product built in greater volume to cover the investment. Espinosa didn't mention a potential collaboration with another automaker to spread out costs like Toyota and BMW did with the Supra/Z4. The GR86/BRZ twins are also a joint effort, between Toyota and Subaru. Even if the Silvia is coming back, we're not so sure it would have a combustion engine. Earlier this year, Nissan revealed it's not spending money on ICE anymore. Domestic rivals Toyota, Mazda, and Subaru are doing things differently by expressing their long-term commitment to gas engines, which will also run on carbon-neutral fuels. The reality is that Nissan has been slow to update its sports car offerings, knowing that recouping its investment would be difficult. The 370Z was on sale for 13 years before the Z arrived, and the mighty Godzilla lingered for 17 years. It's understandable why the company is hesitant to add a third nameplate to the sports car lineup. Espinosa calls the Silvia revival a "far-fetched idea" for now, but he'll try to make it happen. Launching yet another crossover is almost always the safer bet, often to the detriment of an exciting car targeting enthusiasts. Let's just hope that Nissan won't slap the Silvia badge on an SUV and call it a day. It's not like it hasn’t been done before: Ford Mustang Mach-E, Ford Puma, Mitsubishi Eclipse, and the recently launched Ford Capri. Indirectly, Nissan has already kind of built a Z-badged SUV. The Fairlady X was a Murano/Z mashup created by students at Nissan Gakuen (Nissan Automobile Technical College). It’s not easy on the eyes, and thankfully it never entered production. We should also mention the Nissan Skyline Crossover, a rebadged Infiniti EX launched in Japan back in 2009. While a new Silvia sounds great, perhaps it would make more sense to launch a cheaper sports car positioned below the Z. With a lower asking price, it would have a better chance of attracting younger buyers who can't afford to spend more than $40,000 on a new Z. If a dedicated model from each Japanese brand is not viable, it would be excellent for Nissan, Toyota, Subaru, Mazda, Mitsubishi, and Honda to work together and create a badge-engineered car. Better than nothing, right? Of course, this is just wishful thinking on our part. The Toyobaru collaboration has proven to be successful, so there's precedent to try and make the math work for the bean counters to give their green light to an affordable sports car. Ideally, with a combustion engine.

  9. Pickup trucks in America are one of the popular choices in the American car industry. Not just American car makers, Japanese like Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Mazda has also entered this market segment, without or with failures. Even continental brands like Mercedes Benz is trying to enter this market with it's new X calss, which has not been introduced in the North American market yet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pickup_truck Once a work tool with few creature comforts, in the 1950s consumers began purchasing pickups for lifestyle reasons and by the 1990s less than 15 percent of owners reported use in work as the pickup truck's primary purpose.Today in North America, the pickup is mostly used like a passenger car and accounts for about 18 per cent of total vehicles sold in the US. While in the United States and Canada most pickup trucks are used primarily for passenger transport, agriculture, and commercial uses, pickups are also used in law enforcement, the military, fire services, and for pickup truck racing, a form of auto racing using modified versions of pickups mostly onoval tracks. Race pickup trucks are mechanically similar to coupé-shaped stock cars.

Let's look at them in the following posts.

  11. Source: https://www.motor1.com/news/653238/nissan-says-rav4-hybrid-economy-unrealistic/ Automakers are not above taking shots at each other for performance claims like real-world fuel economy. Most recently, Nissan took aim at Toyota's RAV4 hybrid indicating the fuel economy ratings on the popular small SUV are exaggerated. Case in point, the Nissan X-Trail e-Power uses a gasoline engine to recharge the onboard lithium-ion battery and gets an estimated 6.1 liters per 100km, or about 38.6 mpg. By comparison, the Toyota RAV4 uses a conventional hybrid system that delivers an estimated 4.7 liters per 100 km, or the equivalent of 50 mpg, a fuel economy increase of about 30 percent. Nissan indicates that the fuel economy differences between the two vehicles are not as far apart as the estimates suggest and believe the real-world performance is closer. "I think with the fuel economy, it's a tricky one. We'll leave it in your hands to do the real-world testing. But from a lot of the articles I've seen for RAV4 Hybrid, you can't get anywhere near 4.8 (liters per hundred kilometers)," says Aleksandar Pecanac, Nissan Australia's product manager for X-Trail. Nissan goes on to claim that its X-Trail e-Power system delivers a superior driving experience. According to Adam Robertson, deputy director of the Nissan Technical Center in Europe, the X-Trail drives "More like an EV, and we know from our experience with EVs that customers love it." Robertson goes on to say, "EVs have the highest level of satisfaction for acceleration, and that's not just the outright performance for a car like the Porsche Taycan. That's all EVs. "We also know that traditional hybrids have the lowest satisfaction. We wanted to capture the customer experience that they really like and bring that in with e-Power." The Nissan X-Trail e-Power launched last fall in Japan and Europe as an electrified version of the Rogue. The automaker has not yet indicated if and when it will bring the e-Power version of the Nissan Rogue to the US. Currently, Nissan's US website only mentions the e-Power on the Nissan Leaf.
  12. Teana has been launched for a few months, it will be good if the drivers in this forum can share their experience on the car in terms of: -vehicle handling -engine and transmission -fuel consumption -soundproofing/noise -issues encountered For drivers who have also driven cars in similar class e.g. Accord, Camry, Mondeo, your comparison comments will be valuable.

  14. Source: https://uncrate.com/nissan-concept-20-23-ev/ Nissan has revealed a rally-inspired EV concept to celebrate 20 years of its London design studio. The two-door hatch is the result of Nissan giving the team full reign to design a car they would like to drive on London's streets. Flared fenders, deep front and side air intakes, and a roof-mounted rear spoiler give the 20-23 a compact, ultra-sporty appearance. While the concept is designed to be an EV, the 20-23 exists only as an exterior study, with scissor doors opening on a digitally rendered interior.
  15. This is probably the most civil confrontation I’ve ever seen, while keeping a mildly aggressive edge. What happened? A confrontation took place at Defu Lane when an uncle did not park properly. The video immediately opens with the person behind the camera asking “How many lots did you park in?” in Chinese. Credit to the uncle, he asked the person recording to follow him to his parking spot, saying “I don’t want to argue”. The aggrieved recorder however was still upset, as he could not open his door due to how he parked. The uncle maintained a very calm attitude, maintaining his refusal to argue by coming to his spot. This caused a “bro moment”, as both parties were temporarily “steady” and agreeing not to argue. Alas, when they finally arrived to the lot, we found that the uncle indeed did not park properly as his Nissan Sentra was taking up two lots. The uncle did try to explain himself but the video cut off before he could complete it. However, I do think it’s not entirely his fault. We can see that the car had a shorter parking lot compared to others, and was between 2 trucks. It was likely an attempt to avoid being hit by either just in case, as he seems too civil about the accusation. Online Chatter A few people wanted to hear how the uncle would explain his way out of this one. And regardless of his reasons, people still noted he did not park properly. And if you’re in the wrong on the internet, prepare for the wave of criticism. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

  18. TL;DR - Domino's Pizza delivery bike plays real-life game of dodge the NV200 at a discretionary right turn Pizza delivery gone wrong. Watch this 40 second clip of the collision. What Happened? A Nissan NV200 collided with a Domino's Pizza delivery bike at the discretionary right turn junction on Pioneer North Road in Singapore, under the PIE Flyover. The incident caused damage to both vehicles and raised concerns about road safety for delivery drivers. According to eyewitnesses, the Domino's Pizza delivery bike was traveling straight on Pioneer North Road when the Nissan NV200 made a right turn without signaling, causing the collision. The delivery driver was thrown from his bike and sustained minor injuries, while the NV200 suffered significant damage to its front end. Online Chat Amongst the hundreds of comments, the majority of them were pinpointing that this road is extremely dangerous. Hello @LTA? So please have more patience for people who are delivering your food, they’re delivering more than just your pizza - it comes with a side of risk. Nissan NV200 driver and the rider must have forgotten they're not playing Mario Kart… Takeaway The incident highlights the importance of road safety, especially at discretionary right turns where accidents are usually most seen at such junctions. Delivery riders, who are often required to navigate busy roads and make multiple stops in a short amount of time, make them the ones that are most at risk of such accidents. Above all, all drivers should practice cautiousness on the road and be extra vigilant - treat all junctions as accident black-spot zones and ride expecting the unexpected. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

  19. TL;DR - Fists fly as e-biker and driver clash in heated argument over road safety Near-miss turns into not-so-fun fisticuffs: Road rage brawl ensues! Watch this 49 second clip of an e-biker and a driver come to blows in a shocking altercation. What Happened? An e-bike got into a heated altercation with the driver of a Nissan Sylphy, resulting in a (one-sided) physical squabble. Fortunately, a camcar driver who was just behind the camcar noticed the commotion and quickly intervened, stepping in and diffusing the situation. The camcar driver was able to calm the e-biker down and prevent the situation from escalating any further. It is alleged that the incident occurred when the Nissan Sylphy attempted to overtake the e-biker on a narrow road, coming dangerously close to the e-biker in the process. The e-biker, feeling threatened and upset, shouted at the driver to be more careful. Online Chat Some netizens were saying how it could’ve been the Sylphy's fault since he ‘didn’t dare to leave his car’ while some are banking on the e-biker’s fault, since he was the one (and only one) who was throwing punches in the air the whole time. Who do you think is at fault? Comment down below! Takeaway The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining calm and composure on Singapore's roads, especially in situations where tensions may be running high. It is crucial for all road users to show respect and consideration for one another, regardless of whether they are driving a car, riding a bike, or walking. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

  20. How easy is it to get a motorcycle license? Whoever’s in charge might want to up the difficulty if this rider was able to pass. What happened? On 17 April yesterday, a motorcyclist and their passenger hit a Nissan NV350 while changing lanes on the Pan-Island Expressway. Yeah, ‘big whoop’, I hear you say, but what gets me is how avoidable this was. Another biker was able to continue in that same lane with no issues. You could argue it’s that other biker’s fault, since they passed them right before they were about to change lanes. But they were still facing the road and so could see that this biker was going way faster than them. There was also enough distance to see that there was plenty of time to slow down. However, if you look at the Nissan, notice how it accelerated before slowing down as well. Yet even once it slowed down, there’s a solid two seconds before our main biker hit the Nissan with no signs of braking. Regardless of external factors, bro does not know what braking is. As a result, both rider and pillion took a rough fall. Both of them were not wearing riding gear and rolled a couple times. Yikes. Online chatter For some reason, Facebook users seem to have a knack with involving women despite how they may have zero influence on the situation. As seen with the female pillion rider. No comment on that… Others criticised the rider for not paying attention, which put not only his life at risk but also his passenger’s. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

  21. With Good Friday around the corner, here’s a wholesome story about treating strangers with compassion and kindness! What happened? During a downpour yesterday in the east side of Singapore, this cam car caught a heartwarming encounter that even the most cynical of us can appreciate and smile upon. At the junction of Joo Chiat and Still Road, a primary school boy was caught in the rain with no shelter or protection from the harsh rain. We can see the torrent of the rain from the thick splashes on the cam car’s windshield. A fine drizzle, this was not. The boy was seen pacing around while waiting to cross the road, presumably due to the cold. The Nissan van driver in front of the cam car saw this, and exited with an umbrella in hand. The driver passed the umbrella to the student before rushing back inside the van. Online chatter The comments were united in praising the uncle for his kindness, some hoping to see him rewarded somehow in the future. People hoped to see more of such heartwarming posts as well, as such behaviour is rarely seen or documented on Singapore’s roads (We would know). ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

  22. Any Nissan Serena owners here? Can't find any reviews locally and don't think I've seen any on our roads though I think a few of this has already been delivered to their new owners. There's 2 versions. The Comfort version is more affordable with manual sliding doors and original fabric seats. The Highway Star version comes with body kit, power sliding doors and locally fitted leather seats. Interesting flexible seat configurations between 7-8 seaters. So far no other locally available MPV has it according to my knowledge. However, the center seat in the second row may not be comfortable. This is the Highway Star version
  23. Recently booked one. Know of at least 2 more on the road. Anyone in this forum?
