For the first time, Zenshi will make the Nimessa Touring wagon available to the US2019MY Market!
Like the sedan, the Nimessa Touring will have a 175 HP 2.0L Naturally Aspirated I4, with a planned 250 HP 2.0L Turbocharged I4. Unlike the sedan, however, the Touring will have the option to have an all-wheel drive system, known as SM-AWS.
And on the other side of the Nimessa family…
The Nimessa Newman R returns for the US2019 model year, but now comes in two flavours: Type-S, and Type-M.
The Type-S is the main Newman R like before, but the new Type-M gives the Nimessa Newman R a more “premiumized” look with a rear lip spoiler and deep-black coated wheels. The seats are given the leather treatment and are powered from the front row, with a memory feature for the driver’s side. Collision avoidance sensors come standard as well.
For this year, a new colour has been added to the list: Meteor Steel Pearl, which is available in both versions. Exterior-wise, the ground effects have been slightly reworked to improve airflow a slight bit, and vortex generators are now mounted on the roof. The most significant difference between the 2018 Newman R and the 2019 version is the brakes: The carbon ceramic brakes are now an option as part of the “Track Package Plus.” Instead, vented disc brakes take their place, resulting in less maintenance costs.
Many qualities and items regarding the Newman R have been adjusted to ensure for a satisfying drive and impression.
Expect the Nimessa Touring mid-February, and the upcoming Newman R twins to hit the showroom floors mid 2018.
