Nissan officially launched the all-new Nissan NV-350 Urvan, one of the iconic people mover vehicle will set pace again to enticed Filipino and deliver results which the owner needs. As a part of the campaign, I was fortunate to be invited on the said adventure, to see if a photogs/party-goer/travel-lover/blogger will impressed me with the new amenities, and engine that also powered the new Nissan NP300 Navarra Pick-up which is also a beast right now in the market.
Antonio Zara, President and Managing Director of Nissan Philippines Inc. (NPI). giving an opening speech before we go to our destination place in Batangas.
We are given a Silver NV350 variant and our destination will be Hamilo Coast Pico-De-Loro in Nasugbu Batangas which is one of exclusive resorts in the Philippines; just to be pampered by the Nissan people, with a stop-over lunch at the exclusive Antonio's in Tagaytay.
When we are at the Skyway going to South Luzon Expressway, I observed that the engine in this van is powerful. Having a 129-horsepower its not a common for vans sold in the Philippine market. Also, what I like and definitely hands-down is their powerful Nissan Aircon. You heard it right, this is one feature which other competitor cannot compete. At that time, it is already hot —scorchy hot— temperature in the Philippines and my friends are complaining because the aircon of Nissan NV-350 was very cold, even it was already set at #2 on the thermostat.
Now, fun part starts when we already exited the highway and we are going to Tagaytay where there will be some uphill climbs which will test the engine's power. Along the flatlands, there is this car in the middle of the road that slowed the convoy (guess he is just to observed the new van though) which is annoying. But when we reached the upper part of the highway (Near PNPA) this where the engine power comes in. Sorry for that car, but this is where the Nissan NV-350 was built; easily overtaken the Blue car at Third gear without lacking engine-power on uphill while the car on our front before is struggling climbing.
Our first stop will be at Antonio's Fine Dining in Tagaytay, to take our lunch and this lunch is something else. The said restaurant is very well known to the elite, having a five-star ratings on all food blog and website.
All I can say about Antonio's is two-thumbs up! The food is AWESOME!
After that awesome lunch, we are now heading at Hamilo Coast Pico De Loro in Nasugbu Batangas.
Thought this is just another resort, but I was definitely wrong; the resort is so exclusive and The All-New Nissan NV-350 Urvan brought me here. Stayed at Pico Sands Hotel and their ameneties and the place, 5-Stars!
Well, we have to go back in Manila even the experience in Pico De Loro was amazing with Nissan NV350 URVAN. Here is the video covering our travel from Manila to Pico De Loro, then Pico De Loro to Manila. The Nissan NV-350 will not fail you in terms of travel.
