Following the introduction of the Kicks e-Power, Nissan Philippines has launched another new model to the local market with the Livina, a seven-seater MPV.

Right off the bat, the Mitsubishi Xpander silhouette in the Livina is apparent. But Nissan integrated a few of its signature design details to make the MPV like its own including the V-Motion grille. It is complemented by halogen headlamps on the side as standard, while the EL, VE, and VL get daytime running lights (DRLs).

The Nissan MPV has a dark cabin theme

The second row has a 60:40 split configuration with a center armrest, while the third row is a 50:50 split seat fold and recline functions. Moreover, the vehicle comes with Nissan Genuine Accessory-floor mats as standard across the range.
