Current Generation: (2019–present)[]
The second-generation Livina was launched in Indonesia on February 19, 2019, a month after Nissan ceased the production of the L11 Grand Livina in the country. A byproduct of Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance, it is a rebadged and restyled variant of the Mitsubishi Xpander and manufactured alongside it by Mitsubishi Motors plant in Cikarang, West Java. Nissan used the "Livina" name for this model due to the established nameplate usage in the country.
As it is based on the Xpander, it is only offered in one body variant and has crossover SUV-like proportions compared to previous generation's low slung station wagon-like proportions. Compared to the Xpander, Nissan has redesigned several body panels including the Nissan's V-Motion grille, headlights, front bumper, front fenders, front side doors, rear bumper, rear tailgate metal sheet casing and taillight internals.
The second-generation Livina is available in four grade levels: E, EL, VE and VL. In June 2020, the Sporty Package for the VE grade was made available in 100 units. The E grade was discontinued in 2021.
The Livina is only sold in Indonesia, although exports was said to be under consideration.
