Nissan Navara: Ready For Anything, Anywhere

Be unstoppable with the Nissan Navara

Does the perfect do-it-all vehicle exist?

That is the question on many a car buyer’s mind. Some go on the recommendation of friends and family. Some go on what’s popular in the market. But the smart shoppers do something different and make a list of what they want and need a vehicle to do for them.

Many need a vehicle that’s tough and reliable. Many want a vehicle that can go anywhere even in challenging weather and terrain. Many need a vehicle that can carry stuff easily and confidently. Many want a comfortable vehicle that will keep the family safe. And with the popularity of weekend adventures and camping now, something that won’t limit your options and destinations.

If that’s the kind of list that suits you, then a pick-up truck is the ideal fit. And that’s where the Nissan Navara stands out.

Why the Navara? Let’s check out what it can offer you.

DRIVE STRONG

You want a truck that makes you feel the power, and that’s what the Navara delivers. The tough features of the Navara give it the punchy persona it deserves with the larger chrome grille (VL 4x4, VE 4x4, and EL 4x2 Variants), the bulging hood, the new tailgate design, new automatic Quad-LED projector headlights, and new LED tail lamps (PRO 4X 4x4, VL 4x4, Calibre-X 4x2, VE 4x4, and VE Calibre 4x2 Variants).

If you want the ultimate statement on the street or on the trail, then the Navara PRO-4X will be the fit for you. Instead of chrome and silver, Nissan fitted the PRO-4X with black elements such as the grille, side mirrors, over-fenders, door handles, roof rails, and 17-inch wheels with all-terrain tires.

To give the truck the motivation it needs on the road, Nissan selected the proven and reliable YD25DDTi 2.5L turbo intercooler diesel engine with up to 190 PS and up to 450 Nm of torque. Depending on the variant, you have the option to use a 6-speed manual, 7-speed automatic, as well as rear-wheel drive, or four-wheel drive.

The powertrain options in the Navara give you a balance of power, reliability, and fuel efficiency.

STAND TALL

Got something in your way or going somewhere that might involve rougher roads? With the Navara -any Navara- you’ve got the advantage.

All variants of the Navara are exclusively high-rider, meaning extra ground clearance for obstacles in your path. The 245mm (9.65 inches) ground clearance and the visibility afforded by the height of the driver’s eyeline will give you the confidence to drive over obstacles.

Worrying about visibility is a thing of the past with the Navara. In the VE 4x4 and VE Calibre 4x2, you’ve got the convenience of a reverse camera, while you can enjoy the Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection in the Calibre-X and VL Calibre 4x2 variants. For the ultimate 360-degree visibility, you can opt for the PRO-4X or the VL 4x4 because you get the Intelligent Around View Monitor that also has the Off-Road Monitor for enhanced confidence when you’re on a tricky trail. 

Off-roading is something that is definitely going to be easy in the Navara’s three 4x4 variants because Nissan made sure that enthusiasts get the truck they deserve. Nissan is actually offering three 4x4 models in the Navara range with the PRO-4X, VL 7-AT, and VE 6-MT. All variants get 4x4 shift-on-the-fly transfer cases to make it easy. You also get the assurance that all 4x4 models have an Electronic Locking Rear Differential that can be locked with the push of a button for maximum traction when you demand it.

With the Navara, you have all the capabilities you’ll need. And did we mention the PRO-4X already comes with all-terrain tires from the showroom? That means there’s no need to spend extra for the capability of all-terrain tires.

HAVE TONS OF SMARTS

Customers need their vehicles to do more, and that’s where the Navara absolutely excels.

Tradition says a pick-up is all about cargo, and indeed the Navara can carry quite a lot with a payload rating of up to 1,017 kilograms (PRO-4X). But Nissan made sure that it's comfortable too, as this is the only model in the class with an entire range exclusively using coil springs on all four corners. For the rear axle, the dual-rate coil springs give the Navara the capability to carry and still be comfortable for driving.

A vehicle should also be comfortable beyond just ride quality and a cool A/C (both of which the Navara is famous for). It should also be easy for people to connect, so Nissan fitted the Navara with connectivity options such as Bluetooth and USB as standard. But for those that want more, they can enjoy the 8" Advanced Touchscreen Display Audio with Apple Carplay and Android Auto in the VE variants or higher.

And then you have the long list of features under the banner of Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM) on top of the already exceptional list of safety equipment for all variants like 6 airbags, Anti-lock Braking System with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, and Brake Assist, Vehicle Dynamic Control with Active Brake Limited Slip.

The more premium the variant, the more NIM features you will get. These include: Intelligent Around View Monitor with Moving Object Detection and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (Pro-4X 4x4, VL 4x4, Calibre-X 4x2 and VL Calibre 4x2 Variants), Off-Road Monitor (PRO-4X 4x4 and VL 4x4), Intelligent Forward Collision Warning and Intelligent Emergency Braking (Pro-4X, Calibre-X, VL and VE Variants), Blind Spot Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are also available in the PRO-4X, Calibre-X, and VL variants. High Beam Assist (Pro-4X 4x4, VL 4x4, Calibre X 4x2, VL Calibre 4x2 Variants), Hill Descent Control (4x4 Variants), Intelligent Driver Alertness (all except EL variant), Advanced Drive Assist Display (all except EL variant).

Nissan is a pioneer in making such features available in the pick-up class to elevate the truck experience from its rugged roots to a smart truck everyone can enjoy every day.

Whichever variant you choose, the Navara is the unstoppable vehicle fit for you, and it comes with a 5-year warranty for your peace of mind. Test drive and see for yourself. If you’re the type that has to venture into the urban jungle on weekdays and seeks an adventure on weekends, the Navara will be the vehicle you can put to work and enjoy when you’re out to play.
