Nissan has\u00a0unveiled the new NP300 Navara pick-up, which will\u00a0make its European debut at the Frankfurt Motorshow on 15 September.<\/p>\n

\"Nissan<\/p>\n

The new truck features an updated interior and exterior,\u00a0along with a new\u00a02.3-litre dCi engine and an attractive\u00a0five year or 100,000 mile warranty. Ride and handling are also improved, while the load bed and towing capacity remain amongst the best-in-class.<\/p>\n

Here are the main highlights, plus some pictures.<\/p>\n

Engine:\u00a0<\/b>New 2.3-litre\u00a0dCi diesel offered with a choice of 160PS or 190PS power outputs. Nissan says the new engine is up to 24% more efficient than the unit it repalces. The 190PS version uses twin-turbo technology, for the first time in the pick-up sector.<\/p>\n

The new\u00a0model will launch with the choice of two or four-wheel drive and the option of a standard six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic gearbox.<\/p>\n

Ride and handling:\u00a0<\/strong>Nissan was targeting a ride experience more like that of a Crossover (SUV\/car) and has introduced a new five-link rear suspension for double cab models which\u00a0the firm says provides significantly improved ride plus weighs 20kg less.<\/p>\n

\"Improved

The new NP300 Navara should offer improved ride and handling, according to Nissan.<\/p><\/div>\n

Safety<\/strong>: A\u00a0range of new safety systems are available, including Forward Emergency Braking and Nissan’s Around View Monitor. Hill Descent Control, Cruise Control and Hill Start\u00a0Assist are also on offer, along with parking sensors and a rear-view camera.<\/p>\n

Payload & towing:\u00a0<\/strong>The\u00a0NP300 Navara has a towing capacity of 3,500kg and payload ratings\u00a0of at least 1,000kg across the range.<\/p>\n

The load bed has also got slightly larger and is 67mm longer than the outgoing model. Nissan\u00a0claims that this provides a sector-best load length of 1,578mm for the double cab model.<\/p>\n

Interior & styling:<\/strong>\u00a0On the outside,\u00a0changes include a new\u00a0grill and\u00a0boomerang-shaped LED\u00a0daytime running lights, with the goal being a “rugged yet sporty overall style”. In other words, this is aimed at leisure buyers as well as those in need of a workhorse.<\/p>\n

Similar changes are evident inside, where the\u00a0redesigned dashboard increases cabin space. Front seats offer improved back support and\u00a0Nissan says have been engineered using\u00a0“technology inspried by NASA”<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Additional features include dual-zone digital climate control, as well as a new rear cab ventilation and seat design, to provide a more comfortable travelling environment for passengers.<\/p>\n

The NP300 Navara will make its European debut at the Frankfurt Motorshow on 15\u00a0September, with\u00a0details of\u00a0trim levels, prices and country launches to follow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
