Built at a cost of $40 million, it offers a one-stop shop for Subaru and Nissan customers

Tan Chong International, parent company of Nissan and Subaru's local distributors, officially opened its three-building multi-brand showroom in Leng Kee Road. Located within the extension of the existing 25 Leng Kee Road Subaru showroom, the new facility houses all major models from both Nissan and Subaru.

Occupying a total area of 6,668 square meters, the seven storey facility will be offered as a one-stop shop option for customers to view the different range of passenger and commercial vehicles distributed by Tan Chong. The new S$40 million multi-brand showroom began construction in September 2012 and is part of the company's effort to centralise and consolidate its operations. Nissan customers can also expect work bay facilities for their car servicing needs in the new showroom. At the same time, Subaru customers can expect a bigger and better showroom twice the size of the previous facility and a new STI corner where visitors can purchase premium STI merchandise.

At the same event, Subaru also launched the new sixth generation Legacy. “Following the recent launch of the all-new Subaru Outback, I am very excited to announce the arrival of the all-new Subaru Legacy in Singapore. The sixth generation Legacy provides Singaporean customers with an exciting alternative to continental sedans with its supreme driving performance, luxurious interior design and ride comfort," said Mr Glenn Tan, Executive Director of Tan Chong International Ltd.

The new Legacy is the sixth generation model, 25 years on since its original release back in 1989. The new model’s Lineartronic transmission features a redesigned torque converter, oil pump and forward-reverse mechanism to provide smoother shifting, better driveability and a quieter ride. It also sport a new dynamic look, with body-integrated hexagonal grille and 'hawk-eye' headlights.

The all-new Legacy and Outback is now available for booking at Subaru Showrooms. Price for the new Subaru Legacy start at SGD $150,600, COE included.
