Navara: Whatever You Want to Do, Wherever You Want to
Go
Australia's
best selling 4x4 is the Nissan Navara. The closer
you look at Navara, the more likely it is to get your
vote, too.
Navara
could well be the ultimate
gutsy workhorse, with an
abundance of power, torque and towing capacity, thanks to
its latest evolution V6 Petrol and Common-Rail Turbo
Diesel Engines.
The 4.0
litre V6 design includes a Continuous Valve Timing
Control System (CVTCS), Nissan variable Induction Control
System (NICS), silent timing chain , micro-finished
camshaft and crankshaft surfaces, Molybdenum pistons,
resin intake manifold, forged crankshaft, digital knock
control system, cross flow engine coolant pattern, high
capacity muffler as well as lightweight aluminium block
and cylinder heads.
All this
technology produces and astonishing 198kW of power and
385 Nm of torque (@ 4,000 rpm)
.
Navara's
diesel engine also deliver you grunt in spades. It
features the latest in common rail technology with a
variable nozzle turbocharger and delivers truly towering
torque figures (403 Nm) and 126 kW of maximum
power.
Whichever
you choose - petrol or diesel, your Navara is designed to
work hard for you, every
day.
To complement the
bucketloads of power and torque in either a petrol or
diesel Navara 4x4 Dual Cab, you also get a 3,000 kg
towing capacity. You have the choice of a 6 speed
manual or 5 speed automatic transmission. As
evidenced by its massive sales success so far in 2007,
the Navara is also fun to drive. Not only because
of its flexible power delivery and great towing
capability, but because it also has extraordinary
agility and responsive driving. This is partly due
to its strong high tensile steel ladder chassis with
welded cross members to support heavy loads, and its
effective suspension
system.
That all of
this is delivered in as tough a package as the
Navara that also offers a level of ride comfort not
normally associated with a workhorse vehicle, further
adds to the Navara's
appeal.
Navara's
front suspension is a compact independent suspension with
coils over shocks and double wishbones. It's a
light yet rigid system for optimum ride and stable
handling. Navara has rear suspension which provides
high lateral rigidity for improved cornering and long
vertical axle travel to manage heavy loads and rough
tracks.
Off road or
on road, the Navara feels composed, relaxed and
inspiring. Even with its high levels of on-road
comfort, the Navara remains a serious, effective
4x4.
Via the
rotary switch on the dashboard, you can easily select one
of three driving modes: 2WD High, 4WD High and 4WD
Low.
Rugged and
refined, detailed and dependable, the Navara is bound to
easily pass muster as your next 4x4
workhorse.
