Nissan Elgrand

Elgrand is build with good interior luxury, great passenger carrier if you have a driver that fetches you everywhere

- nice interior

- very spacious

- easy to handle steering wheel considering it's megasize

- thoughtful in design, height internally to make passenger very comfortable

- great people mover vehicle (if you are not in a huge rush)

- nissan offered 5 years unlimited warranty

- compared to Alphard, it is quite value for money for the same type capacity

- low powered engine

- boring good old MPV with come s with no frills

- too much shiny metal chrome design externally

- bulky and boxy from external

Traded in my wife's mid sedan for this MPV.

Tested the following:

Previa - $184k - good handling, space < Elgrand, punchy engine, interior more plush

Mazda 8 - $178k - low head room...NEXT

Ford Galaxy / SMAX - $16xk - interior looks like budget airlines but Engine BEST!

Honda Odyssey - $180k - Looks cool, great interior, i didnt test drive...if i didnt buy the elgrand, i would have bought this! The rear seats are FANTASTIC! can hide underneath if not in use!

Citroen Grand Picasso - face lifted model not in yet

With the selection available & then some, chose the Elgrand for the Value for $ , comfort and size factor. Warning....Fuel consumption is real horrid.

VALUE FOR $$$

Interior a bit dull but its a family MPV...so...bubble gum and food stains would probably liven it up!

Engine sounds strained when pushed.

F.C. is horrid.
