Zenshi Nimessa (6th Generation, XUN63), 2017-
The UN63 Nimessa made replaced the UN53 in the start of the 2017 year, now carrying the Shinka design.
The 6th generation Nimessa was heavily re-engineered from the ground up, including the engine ranges. The result is that of a slightly lighter body and more efficient powertrain options.
Given the Shinka design treatment, the Nimessa now sports an aggressive look, and similar performance to boot within it’s class.
At the moment, the Nimessa is powered by the updated QS20GDA 2.0L Inline-4 engine, with power rated at 162 HP and 144 lb-ft. Transmission options being the standard traditional 6-Speed Manual and the 6-Speed AvanTec. A turbocharged variant is planned to come at a future date.
The UN63 Nimessa, like before, will come in different body styles, such as a coupe, a hard top convertible (JP and EU only), and the Nimessa Penta hatchback. Coupe and HTC versions will arrive at a later date.
