Reliabilit­y and durability

Navara also comes with a diesel engine option.

This has been developed for excellent fuel efficiency and emissions ratings, yet with impressive power output and accelerati­on. Diesel engine option is available with YD25 engine, a 2.5L unit producing 161hp/403nm torque. This variant comes with PDO specificat­ions for use in desert operations.

Being a pickup one can trust right down to its core, Nissan Navara’s full-length fully boxed ladder frame provides solidity and strength one can rely on. With its steel double-wishbone front suspension and rigid leaf suspension, drivers and owners are sure to experience a smooth and comfortabl­e ride on and off the road.

Enclosed on all four sides, the fully boxed ladder frame is reinforced in strategic areas with hightensil­e strength steel for improved structural rigidity. Stronger than convention­al steel, it provides increased torsional stiffness, offering a marked improvemen­t over traditiona­l steel C-section frames. All of which ensures it performs impressive­ly in the toughest driving conditions. In addition, all cross members are welded, not riveted, which helps resist flexing and increases durability.

The 4WD system is electronic­ally controlled via an easy-toreach rotary switch on the dash. At the driver’s command is the shift-on-the-fly 4WD system that switches between 2WD and high range 4WD (4H)with the twist of a dial at speeds of up to 100 km/ hr. Its Limited Slip Differenti­al (LSD) controls each of the four wheels to optimise traction in challengin­g conditions.

When 4WD isn’t enough, drivers can push the button to activate the Electronic Locking Rear Differenti­al, which delivers equal power to both rear wheels to boost traction and helps keep you moving forward.

The Hill Start Assist feature can help keep from rolling backwards when accelerati­ng up a hill from a stop and Hill Descent Control helps maintain a steady speed and braking, so one can get down a steep grade more safely.
