– an industry first - for Nissan LCV To carry on Nissan’s stronghold as the number one LCV brand, Tan Chong will continue to introduce quality products and value-added services to customers. So in celebration of its first half-year results, Tan Chong is introducing yet another industry-first – the “Loss of Use” insurance program with purchase of any Nissan LCV.
The “Loss of Use” program offers customers a replacement vehicle for up to seven days if their Nissan LCV needs to be in the workshop for more than a day. “Together with the 5-year warranty and 5-year Comprehensive Maintenance Program, customers receive more value when they buy a Nissan LCV. We are committed to our customers and thankful for their support and will continue to innovate to be a leader in this segment”, added Mr. Tan.
In the passenger vehicle category, Nissan sales have more than doubled and its market share increased from 3% to 6%. Other than its popular Sylphy and Teana, Nissan also saw strong demand for its other models like the Note and Elgrand.
