2016 Nissan NP300 Navara

Improving comfort and refinement while maintaining the NP300 Navara's acclaimed off-road ability, durability and loading capacity was the brief for the new vehicle's development. The new model has a robust and tough chassis which introduces a host of new engineering features designed to further improve drivability and practicality. Using the same Crossover DNA that produced landmark passenger cars such as the class-leading Qashqai, X-Trail and Juke, the new NP300 Navara brings a new level of car-like refinement, style, comfort and quality, as well as first in class technologies to the pick-up market.

The introduction of a market-first five year or 160,000km manufacturer warranty with the new NP300 Navara is further testament to the quality vehicle's credentials, and provides additional peace of mind for customers.

Engines and Transmission

Great engines need great transmissions, and once again the new NP300 Navara excels. The latest generation model 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.

The Nissan NP300 Navara's new 2.3-litre dCi engine is up to 24 per cent more efficient than the unit it replaces and is the cleanest and most economical in its sector. Available with two power output options, 120kW and 140kW, the range-topping version introduces twin turbocharging technology, which is the first time for Nissan in this segment. Thanks to such considerable gains in fuel economy, owners will benefit from exceptionally low running costs coupled with substantially reduced CO2 emissions. Owners of the new NP300 Navara are predicted to save up to €1,500 in fuel costs alone when compared to the previous model over three years / 60,000km.

Four-wheel Drive

As customers have come to expect, the new Nissan NP300 Navara is as capable off-road as it is on-road. The four-wheel drive system builds on the strengths of the previous generation model to deliver surefooted traction over rough terrain.

The system is engaged and disengaged electronically via a rotary button located on the dashboard. For best economy and handling drivers can stay in 2WD mode on the road. For off-road conditions drivers can select the 4HI mode while driving up to 100km/h.

Further highlighting the Nissan NP300 Navara's off-road credentials is the facility to engage low range. Designed to help the vehicle drive up steep and slippery inclines, the 4LO setting provides even more torque at the wheels. For those in tricky off-road situations a mechanical diff-lock is available.
