Word has it that an upgraded 2022 Modenas Dominar D400 model is poised for local introduction towards the middle of this year, likely in June.

Though positioned as a ‘sport tourer’ in its current and recently revised 2021 model year form, the upgrades this 2022 model year version offers will further reinforce this image. Highlights include a taller windscreen, a pair of handguards, the inclusion of a USB charging port, an engine bash plate, as well as a luggage rack, and a backrest setup.

Apart from that, the 2022 Modenas Dominar D400 will retain much of the mechanical specs as seen in its current form. At the heart of things is a liquid-cooled 373cc DOHC single-cylinder developing 40HP and 35NM.

Other bits reportedly unchanged in the 2022 model are its 13-liter fuel tank, single-disc brake setup front and aft, 43mm front forks, and Nitrox pre-load adjustable rear mono shock suspension, as well as the novel dual-dash displays.

Upgraded with the aforementioned key new features, we can also see a slight change in price – the current Dominar D400 carries a base sticker price of RM13,997. We can likely expect a hike, perhaps a slight one, given the new features added.

What’s certain is that the upgraded Modenas Dominar D400 will still stand as an affordable offering in the rapidly growing local entry-level and middleweight sport-tourer segment.
