Designed by Nissan in Japan, the Livina will be built on Nissan and Renaults common B platform, which is currently underpins Nissans Micra and Renaults Clio and Logan.In another nod to the future direction of the car industry, the new model, which will come with a CVT transmission and will debut at the Guangzhou motor show this month, will be manufactured and sold in China ahead of other markets. Not sure about the name, though.
The Livina Geniss will be powered by a 1.8-liter gasoline engine with C-VTC (Continuous Valve Timing Control) for improved power and torque. The model will be manufactured at Dongfeng Motor Co.s (DFL) Huadu plant in Guangdong Province. DFL is Nissans joint venture in China with Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd. The other variants will be produced at different facilities around the world.
guess this mpv going to compete with Toyota Innova, so dont expect to be superb since its affordable and place at lower segment than other mpv.

Nissan launches all-new MPV in Indonesia
PT Nissan Motor Indonesia (NMI) launched the all-new Grand Livina, one of Nissans new global models that was announced in July last year.
Indonesia is the first market to introduce the right-hand drive version of this all-new seven-seat multi-purpose vehicle (MPV).
The Grand Livina, produced in a recently expanded and refurbished NMI plant, is expected to contribute substantially to Nissan’s sales in Indonesia.
The Grand Livina“The Grand Livina is an irrefutable example of Nissan’s commitment to our customers in Indonesia. With seven variants in two engine sizes, we expect the Grand Livina to be a popular choice for Indonesian customers.
“For 2007, we expect sales of this model to reach 12,000 units, out of our total domestic sales of 21,000 units,” Nissan chief operating officer Toshiyuki Shiga said in a statement yesterday.
The Grand Livina was designed and engineered at the Nissan Technical Centre in Atsugi, Japan, and manufactured at the NMI plant located 75km east of Jakarta.
Considering the market it is targeting, it isnt bad looking. This car is aimed at families in a tight budget (Like the Toyota Innova & Suzuki APV.). The top of the line model, for the Indonesian market, only has a drivers airbag.
