THE Nissan Navara pickup truck has been a familiar sight on Malaysian roads since its launch in November 2008. Before this Navara pickup truck arrived in Malaysia, Nissan’s brand guardian, Edaran Tan Chong Motor had the popular Nissan Frontier on sale since February 2004 and this was replaced by the Navara.
Building on more than 80 years of Nissan pickup heritage, Nissan Japan yesterday unveiled their all new Nissan Navara pickup, that delivers an enhanced level of safety, comfort and driving pleasure, while continuing to bring durability, reliability and versatility.
Now we have an all-new Navara on its way to Thailand first and then soon after Malaysia and it is still a pickup truck in the classic mold and it definitely looks the part of what the rest of the world calls a 'truck', however the macho image of driving a pickup has superseded its real working need in the rough. Make no mistake here as there is no doubt that this new Navara is able to do the work as well as anything from the brand, but it also has the capacity to act as a surprisingly comfortable car for anyone wanting to carry the family rather than the construction work crew to the job site.
This new Navara has been given an upmarket urban look. All these ‘extras’ do make a difference to those attracted by the same macho thing that has attracted many urban cowboys to buy and drive pickup trucks in the past few years.
Inside this Nissan Navara there is also a distinctly car-like feel with a dashboard that looks more at home in an SUV and with a finish and fit that looks better than the previous versions.
A reliable partner for work or travel, this new Nissan Navara comes with many best-in-class technologies, including an array of Nissan Intelligent Mobility features and safety systems, making it the most advanced Navara yet.
Among the Nissan Intelligent Mobility features that will be available across the global Navara and Frontier lineup is Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, which monitors the second vehicle ahead as well as the vehicle directly in front to reduce the risk of multi-car accidents. Intelligent Emergency Braking activates the brakes to avoid collisions, reducing the stress of driving in traffic or on busy streets.
The Intelligent Around View Monitor uses four cameras to help drivers notice people and cars surrounding and approaching the vehicle, making it easier to parallel park or to position the vehicle when hitching to a trailer. New to the system is an off-road monitor, which checks surrounding obstacles at low speeds when in four-wheel drive mode.
The new model features a strengthened rear axle, increased payload capacity, additional truck bed volume and a new integrated step in the rear bumper for easier access to the truck bed. A new steering rack has been adopted to enhance maneuverability at low speeds and steering response across the speed range.
It offers a quiet and comfortable ride thanks to significant decrease of vibration and improved noise isolation.
These new features make the vehicle the ultimate travel and worksite partner, prepared to take on new challenges while still offering optimal room, comfort, safety and ease of work.
For the first time for the Navara, Nissan will offer the PRO-4X grade, a style package aimed at adventure lovers and travelers craving an escape from their daily routine. The PRO-4X grade comes with its own athletic look, with a black emblem, orange-accented front bumper, black grille, door handles, roof racks and running boards accented by 17-inch black wheels and all-terrain tires. This new pickup truck goes on sale in December in Thailand, with other markets to follow later. – The Vibes, November 6, 2020
