Nissan Navara special version able to tackle toughest terrain
The standard Nissan Navara is no slouch off road, being one of the most rugged pick-up trucks available.
For those who regularly drive in the most extreme conditions, though, Nissan has something that just might fit the bill – and the Japanese firm has recently updated it.
The company has unveiled a refreshed version of its go-anywhere Navara AT32.
Forged through a partnership between Nissan and Icelandic offroad experts Arctic Trucks, the AT32 is packed with features that allow it to deal with even the most extreme of terrains.
On all four corners sit 31.6-inch Nokian tyres, which have been fitted with dual valves in order to give fast and accurate adjustments of air pressure.
Underneath the Navara is a full aluminium underbody shielding plate, as well as bespoke wheelarch extensions and performance Bilstein suspension.
Badging unique to the AT32 has been applied to the front wings, side extensions and side steps – among other places – while an air intake snorkel can be added as an optional extra to increase the Navara’s wading depth to 800mm.
An electronic lock can also be specified for the front differential to help with traction in tricky conditions.
Manuel Burdiel, Nissan general manager Europe, LCV sales and business development, said: “The Nissan Navara AT32 was a sell-out success and proved incredibly popular with adventurers seeking elegance and toughness.
“We have upgraded the AT32 so it can maintain its position as the ultimate Navara while bringing new efficiency and becoming fully WLTP compliant.
“It’s the perfect blend of in-car technology, comfort and extreme offroad performance.”
The AT32 also retains many of the technological features found on the standard Navara, such as hill start assist, hill descent control and intelligent emergency braking.
