The New Nissan Navara Visia is aimed at business buyers
In response to strong fleet and business demand, Nissan is introducing a new, highly affordable entry-level version of its popular Navara double cab pick-up starting at £17,995 CVOTR.
The Navara Visia has been carefully developed to offer operators a practical, robust and capable pick-up at a price that’s in tune with the times.
The new model introduces a new version of the respected 2.5-litre dCi common-rail diesel four-cylinder engine, producing 144 PS and 350Nm of torque and is capable of up to 39.8mpg on the combined cycle.
For the new business-oriented Navara, Nissan engineers have worked to cut costs without affecting the vehicle’s abilities.
For example, the interior door handles are finished in black rather than chrome. Similarly the front bumper is specified in body colour rather than having a two-tone element, while the grille struts are painted rather than chromed and conventional wiper blades are used in place of the flat blades found on higher specification versions.
The Navara Visia provides a generous 2.36m2 load bed and a practical internal bed length of 1,511mm. Businesses will also value the Navara’s 2,600kg towing capacity and a maximum 1,250kg payload.
The Navara Visia’s specification includes part-time four-wheel drive, air conditioning, central door locking, six airbags, a CD player and Bluetooth connectivity.
The robust part-time four-wheel drive system provides drive to the rear wheels under normal conditions or a 50/50 torque split to all four wheels when 4WD mode is engaged. The Navara also offers high and low ratio modes, to facilitate serious off-road use and off-road towing. ESP is standard fit to help maximise the Navara Visia’s driver control in all conditions.
Jon Pollock, Corporate Sales Director at Nissan said: “We’re working hard to develop our LCV offering as well as respond to customer needs and the introduction of the Navara Visia is a shining example of this. We’ve listened to our fleet and SME customers’ desire for an affordable pick-up and we look forward to seeing the Navara Visia working hard for SME fleets from January 2013.”
Order books for the new Nissan Visia are open now priced from £17,995 CVOTR, with deliveries beginning January 2013.
