Designed and engineered for the specific requirements and preferences of the European market, and produced at Nissan’s manufacturing plant in Barcelona, the NP300 Navara in both its King Cab and Double Cab guises has been designed to deliver a rugged yet sporty overall style, with a mix of convex and concave surfaces providing a dynamic and bold look. Nissan's signature V-motion grille and boomerang shaped LED daytime running lights provide distinctive Nissan design cues.

The latest Navara features a new chassis that introduces a host of new engineering features, including an all-new coil-spring five-link rear suspension system for the double cab model, said to provide significantly improved ride comfort and improved handling. As an additional benefit, it’s also 20kg lighter than the previous leaf spring layout.

The king cab features a substantially updated version of the leaf spring design fitted to the previous generation model. Not only does the new under-slung leaf weigh 7kg less than the previous over-slung design, it also gives the King Cab a 3.1% improvement in rear wheel approach angle and delivers a reduction in road noise.

The new NP300 Navara’s revised rear suspension designs have also improved manoeuvrability. Thanks to a reduction in wheelbase of 50mm, the latest-generation model now has a turning circle of 12.4m.

The fully re-designed interior has been designed for a first class ride, with every element of the cabin optimised to provide the best possible quality, comfort, space and practicality for drivers and passengers.

Engine line-up brings a new 2.3-litre dCi engine that’s up to 24% 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. The unit also offers improvements in fuel economy and CO2 emissions. As a result, Nissan predicts fuel savings of up to €1,500 when compared to the previous model over three years / 60,000km.

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.

New technology includes Around View Monitor (AVM) and Forward Emergency Braking (FEB) – sector firsts. Also new to the Navara is an electronic limited slip differential (eLSD) to offer improved traction, cornering balance and a more secure feel.

Further safety and convenience features include Cruise Control, Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Hill Start Assist (HSA).   

Also included are dual-zone digital climate control for both king cab and double cab models as well as new rear cab ventilation and seat design.

The NP300 Navara's load carrying and towing ability across the range is improved, with payload ratings now in excess of one tonne across the range and a towing capacity of 3,500kg.

The load bed brings heavy-duty channels on the rear cabin bulkhead and bed sides, owners have complete flexibility when it comes to securing vulnerable loads. Because the clamps slide along the C-shaped channel tracks, even the most unusually shaped load can be secured with ease.  

To help owners go further with more, the new Double Cab's load bed is 67mm longer than the previous model, with a sector-best load bed length of 1,578mm. The King Cab's load bed measures 1,788mm in length.

The all-new NP300 Navara range features four trim grades: Visia, Acenta, N-Connecta and Tekna. Every model comes with seven airbags, electronic braking differential, off-road electronic aids such as hill start assist, and power windows.

The NP300 Navara also includes a market-first five year or 160,000km manufacturer warranty.
