Almost every functional aspect of the Navara has been improved in the all-new model. The load bay on double cab versions has been stretched by 67mm to 1,503mm and been made deeper (474mm from 456mm), resulting in a capacity of 1,061 litres.<\/p>\n
Load carrying capacity has also been upgraded significantly. The new Navara can carry up to 1,002kg, depending on specification level, and\u00a0 can tow a braked trailer of up to 3,500kg.<\/p>\n
The suspension and drivetrain set-up also means that the new Navara has a lateral tilt angle of up to 50 degrees.<\/p>\n
On the new Navara, the Nissan Assured warranty includes a mechanical warranty for 6 years or 150 000km and a comprehensive 3-year \/ 90 000km service plan.<\/p>\n Pricing and range:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fuel consumption in a combined cycle has been officially rated at 6.5 litres per 100km, allowing for a range of over 1,000km on a full 80 litre fuel tank.<\/p>\n The new engine uses a new thermal management system and electrically operated oil pump to improve efficiency. These improvements, combined with the weight saving and aerodynamic aids, ensure a fuel consumption improvement of 19% over the outgoing engine.<\/p>\n While similar in dimensions to its predecessor, the new cabin features larger doors for easier ingress and egress, a 23-degree slanted rear bench for greater comfort and more rear legroom and a host of creature comforts, such as the first in class dedicated rear air vents and even an electrically operated rear cab window.<\/p>\n Behind the steering wheel, the driver is welcomed by a brand-new cockpit design. The design centres on the touch-screen infotainment and navigation system that is standard equipment across the range.<\/p>\n The launch of the Navara is the first step in what is expected to be a busy year for Nissan.<\/p>\n \u201cThe introduction of three 4×4 double cab models marks the start of an aggressive expansion programme that will later introduce a wide range of 4×2 double cab models and other body types of the Navara in the medium term,\u201d said Mike Whitfield, managing director of Nissan Group of Africa.<\/p>\n It is also expected that Nissan will announce plans to manufacture the Navara at its Rosslyn plant, near Pretoria<\/span>, like the NP200 half ton pickup and NP300 one-ton Hardbody.<\/p>\n Nissan South Africa is the operational hub for Regional Business Unit South, serving Nissan’s key South Africa market and 45 other countries in Sub Saharan Africa.<\/p>\n In South Africa, the company offers a range of 24 vehicles under the Nissan, Infiniti and Datsun brands across a national network of 119 dealers.<\/p>\n Nissan’s crossover segment includes the Qashqai, X-Trail, and Juke, where face-lifts for the Qashqai and X-Trail models are expected to be announced locally this year.<\/p>\n Nissan said that 2017 will also bring a ‘minor change’ for the\u00a0Micra, with the recently launched new Micra in Europe destined for our shores in 2018.<\/p>\n Rumours also abound that the Nissan Patrol may fit into the 2017 launch window, however, Nissan has stressed that ‘timing for Patrol not confirmed yet’.<\/p>\n Nissan said that announcements relating to the local production of the Navara “will be made in due course”.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/businesstech.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Nissan-Navara-Launch-Day-1-2-of-3-e1490293362636.jpg\")
