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.
