A new Nissan Navara is being unveiled!
Excitement is brewing among bakkie enthusiasts and Nissan fans as whispers of the next-generation Navara begin to surface. At Group1 Nissan, we are thrilled to share the promising developments from Nissan’s research and development teams, promising a bolder, more capable Navara.
While the exact launch dates in South Africa are still under wraps, we’re eager to give you a sneak peek into what might be in store. Let’s dive into the latest insights on this upcoming powerhouse.
A New Era Of Toughness And Comfort
The current Navara has been a stalwart in the Nissan lineup, known for its reliability and ruggedness. However, some users noted challenges with the coil-spring rear suspension, particularly under heavy loads.
Addressing these concerns, Nissan’s Senior Vice-President and Chief Planning Officer for the AMIEO region, Francois Bailly, hinted at significant improvements in the new model. Expect a shift to a more robust leaf-spring suspension system, similar to the much-lauded system of the latest Mitsubishi Triton. This upgrade promises not only better load-handling capabilities but also enhanced overall ride comfort.
Power And Performance Upgrades
Power enthusiasts will be keen to know that the next Navara is set to receive an upgrade in its powertrain. While the current model boasts a respectable 2.3-litre twin-turbocharged engine, the upcoming version is expected to sport a more potent 2.4-litre twin-turbo-diesel engine. This engine delivers an impressive 150kW and 470Nm of torque, offering a significant boost over its predecessor. This makes the new Navara not just a workhorse but also a capable performer on and off the road.
Advanced Technology And Safety Features
As with any new vehicle launch, technology and safety are at the forefront. The next Navara is anticipated to include an array of advanced safety features under Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility suite. This might include forward-collision warning, emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert.
Additionally, the integration of Nissan’s Intelligent Around View Monitor, which uses multiple cameras to provide a comprehensive view of the vehicle’s surroundings, will be a boon for those who often navigate tricky off-road terrains or urban environments.
A Glimpse Into An Electrified Future
While traditional internal combustion engines remain a staple, Nissan is also exploring electrification for its new lineup. Although no official announcements have been made regarding an all-electric Navara, the possibility of a plug-in hybrid version is on the horizon. This move aligns with Nissan’s broader strategy to embrace sustainable technologies, catering to a growing demand for greener vehicles without compromising performance.
