Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) has officially unveiled the all-new Nissan Navara NP300, which will includes five twin cab variants and one single cab variant. Prices start from just RM85,000 for the single cab variant.
According to ETCM, the YD25DDTi 2.5-litre turbodiesel engine is said to be the most powerful 2.5-litre pickup truck in its segment, boasting 190 PS at 3,600 rpm and 450 Nm of torque from just 2,000 rpm. The new engine can be paired with a seven-speed automatic or a six-speed manual. Despite that, only the range-topping VL grade gets the full 190 PS and 450 Nm, while the lesser models will get 163 PS and 403 Nm of torque.
Starting from the bottom, we have the single cab Navara. This baseline variant can only be had with a six-speed manual. 16-inch steel wheels are also included. The single cab Navara NP300 is fitted with rear multi-leaf spring with shock absorber set up. Inside, the single cab variant has a basic vinyl interior and a basic FM radio with CD player.
Moving one level up is the Navara E grade. This is the lowest twin cab variant, and is largely similar to the single cab, save for the rear spoiler and rear suspension configuration. The E grade is equipped with a regular key entry like the SE variants.
ETCM has filled the midrange category with the V and SE grades. For these variants, front headlights are of the halogen type, with matching halogen DRLs. These variants still get the rear spoiler, though the roof rail isn’t included. Interior has fabric trim all around. The V grade also benefits gains a 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with AUX, USB and Bluetooth connectivity as well as the i-Key keyless entry system. The SE grades will have to make do with a wide 2-DIN radio with AUX and USB connectivity. All twin cab variants also get six speakers inside.
Lastly there’s the range-topping VL grade, fitted with all the bells and whistles. Kit includes a pair of LED headlights up front with LED daytime running lights (DRL), rear spoiler, roof rail and 18-inch alloy wheels all round. Inside, the top-of-the-line model gets full leather upholstery, steering mounted audio controls, cruise control, Advanced Driver Assist Display (ADAD), Intelligent Key (i-Key) with push start ignition, 8-way adjustable powered driver seat and a 5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with AUX, USB and Bluetooth connectivity.
Safety wise, twin airbags can be found on all variants of the Navara NP300. ABS, EBD, BA, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Traction Control System (TCS), Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS), Hill Start Assist (HSA) and Hill Descent Control are available on all twin cab variants, save for the E grade.
