The latest evolution of an indestructibly robust range of Nissan vehicles, the Navara draws on a 50 year heritage of engine building expertise, muscling to the front of its class for pure power performance. The second generation 2.5 litre common rail turbo diesel engine uses a variable nozzle turbo and intercooler to produce an awesome 128kW of power and 403Nm of torque. Which means that the Navara not only outperforms all of its rivals, but it can also carry 961kg while towing up to 3 000kg. This impressive power unit comes standard on the Navara 4WD with a 6 speed manual transmission – a first in its category. A 106kW, 356Nm torque version is available for the Navara 2WD.

BANGKOK, Thailand (January 18, 2007) – Siam Nissan Automobile Co., Ltd. (SNA) today announced the introduction of its all-new pickup truck, the Nissan Frontier Navara. The all-new Nissan Frontier Navara will provide a major boost to the Nissan business in Thailand, a market that is dominated by the one-tone pickup segment. With the Frontier Navara, SNA will achieve 40,000 units in the pickup segment and 55,000 units in total sales in fiscal year 2007.

“2007 is a critical year for the Nissan business in Thailand, with the all-new Frontier Navara central to our growth in this key market,” said Thierry Viadieu, President, SNA. “The Frontier Navara is one of three core products that will drive the brand and the business this year. In addition to the pickup, the Tiida compact and Teana premium sedan will be the start of a long-term new product offensive for Nissan in Thailand, continued Viadieu.

“In addition to the focus on selling great products, we are also concentrating on making Thailand a major global production hub for Nissan worldwide. We are currently exporting the Nissan Tiida to Australia with total exports expected to reach 15,000 units by the end of 2007. We plan to begin exports of the new Frontier Navara in the middle of this year,” said Viadieu.

The all-new Nissan Frontier Navara delivers a compelling combination of powerful performance, bold styling and new levels of innovation to the pickup market. The Frontier Navara offers innovative features designed to enhance its flexible utility – whether for work or family use.

On the inside, Frontier Navara combines the comfort and command seating of an SUV with technology more associated with a luxury sedan. The Frontier Navara is the first pickup truck in Thailand to feature a six-speed manual transmission in addition to the available five-speed automatic gearbox. Both can be mated to the powerful common-rail diesel engine. The YD25DDTi Common-rail Turbo Intercooler delivers an industry-leading 174 hp and maximum torque of 403 Nm. The pickup features electronic-controlled 4WD system with Limited Slip Differential (LSD) providing “Shift-on-the-Fly” 4WD function. It enables to shift between 2WD and 4WD with the use of a dial without stopping. And LSD automatically applies brakes and the best traction. Also it features an appealing comfortable interior with exceptional quietness, ride feel and handling. It uses the Ricke durable concept frame as the US’s Nissan Titan, full-size truck. And it is equipped with hinged double door for easy “Open cab utility” operation.

The Nissan Frontier Navara is manufactured at the Bangna Trad plant located about 20 kilometers east of Bangkok.

The latest evolution of an indestructibly robust range of Nissan vehicles, the Navara draws on a 50 year heritage of engine building expertise, muscling to the front of its class for pure power performance.

Nissan Navara is only offered with a newly designed 2.5L diesel, but its 4WD models produce a whopping 174 horsepower, 403 NM torque, which is best in its class and is quite impressive for a 2.5L. It is also offered with a new 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. It offers shift on the fly to 4WD (H) through an electronic switch on the dash. 4WD (L) is also engaged electronically via this switch. It also features not only driver side airbag but also a passenger side airbag  and EBD, a system that optimizes rear brake force depending on the load. The top LE model offers a CD/MP3 6-disc player as standard equipment for the price of 849,000 baht in the Double Cab 2.5L LE A/T 4WD with ABS+ABS.

The Navara’s arrestingly good looks say it all. Here are some pics of the Nissan Navara in Mark showroom in Bangkok. From its confident, intimidating stance to its raised hood profile and unmistakable honeycomb grille, Navara styling packs more punch than any Double Cab on (or off) the road, and guarantees that you’ll turn more heads than a tennis final.

Navara is as beautiful in the rear as in front.

The Navara’s design is also genuinely purposeful with a high stance and wide flared wheelarches that provide greater ground clearance and axle articulation for rough terrain. All elements are aerodynamically integrated to efficiently direct airflow over and around the body, resulting in reduced drag and improved fuel efficiency. The double cab that can! Bigger and better, the new Navara makes light of your heaviest load. Built to tackle demanding jobs day after day with stamina in reserve, this formidable Double Cab works just as hard as it plays.

The Navara has a maximum load carrying capacity of 971kg, and with one of the largest loadbox areas in its class, you have access to more practical, useable space (well over a metre between the wheelarches). The streamlined, tubular roof rack is shaped to reduce wind resistance and can hold 100kg. Even awkward loads are carried simply and easily thanks to the Navara’s ingenious Utili-track cargo tie down system – a series of sensibly positioned channels on the load bed sides, front wall and floor, with movable sliding cleats that can be adjusted to the ideal securing position for virtually any load. So you can carry almost anything safely and without fear of damage.

Navara Colors

Navara Extra Cab is available in following colors: Diamond Silver, Black Star, Luminous Gold, Electric Blue, Desert Gold, Warm Silver and Bolddeax Red.

It IS possible to be tough without being rough when you’ve got an interior as spacious, comfortable and comprehensively equipped as the new Navara’s.

The Navara is a full five seater with a wide, roomy cabin. The second row seats split 60:40 and fold to create maximum luggage space, and the front passenger seat folds flat too. Storage is generous, including a large double deck glovebox, a central dashboard box, a console between the front seats and storage pockets in all the doors. Access to the rear seating and the cargo area is easy with the cab’s large rear doors, and convenient step rails ease entry to and exit from the cabin and facilitate access to the roof rack.

It’s not just where you go. It’s how easily you get there

Life calls for confident decisions. And the Navara is equipped to help you make them.

Get ready for impressive levels of helpful technology with one objective in mind – to make your journey easier and more comfortable: tilt adjustable power steering, cruise control, heated power mirrors, driver’s seat lumbar and height adjustment, an in-dash 6 CD autochanger, automatic headlamps, remote central locking and a keyless entry system. So whatever the weather, wherever you’re going, whatever the task, the Navara will get you there with style and ease.

Seat Materials

The Navara is not only incredibly powerful, it’s also exceptionally fun to drive. Apart from its flexible power delivery, a strong high tensile steel ladder chassis with welded cross members and a highly effective suspension system give the Navara remarkable agility with quick, accurate response to your command.

At the front, rack and pinion steering and compact independent suspension with coils over shocks and double wishbones provide a light yet rigid setup for optimum ride comfort and stable handling. The rear suspension offers high lateral rigidity for better cornering, with long vertical axle travel to cope with heavy loads and rough tracks. So wherever you’re going and whatever you’re carrying, you’ll be sure finish every journey as you started it – relaxed and inspired.

A dashboard rotary switch gives you easy access to three driving modes. 2WD for normal driving conditions sends power to the rear wheels only, while engaging 4WD ensures a 50/50 power split between the front and rear wheels. 4WD high gives you the high ratio required for faster, lighter off-road conditions. And 4WD low selects a low ratio for maximum traction in serious off-road conditions, deep mud or during climbing, with maximum engine braking whilst descending.

Responsive, accurate power steering keeps you comfortably in control, and both ABS anti-lock braking and Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) come standard. So does Nissan Brake Assist, which senses when you’re making an emergency stop and automatically increases braking effort, reducing the stopping distance. In the unfortunate event of an unavoidable collision, the zone body construction of the cabin provides a strong, protective safety cell, and driver and front passenger airbags offer effective impact protection.

The best way to cope with unexpected situations is to be prepared, and that’s the philosophy behind the 20067Navara’s extensive array of safety equipment. When you are driving a Navara, you have the peace of mind that stringely tested Nissan Safety System is protecting you against  a gamut of risks. It is always there to protect you and your loved ones on all kinds of terrains and all kinds of journeys. The Navara is always prepared for the unexpected. The passive systems provide optimal protection –while the active systems help you avoid accidents in the first place.

Passive Safety

Body Zone Construction
The Navara’s front and rear crumple zones are designed to absorb energy in a crash, helping to protect the reinforced central zone – and its occupants.

Driver and Passenger Side Airbags

Every Navara grade comes with driver and front passenger airbags as standard. There’s nothing like the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you and your passenger are protected in the event of a front impact.

Active Safety

ABS & EBD
Braking hard normally increases the load on the front brakes. Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) balances the braking effort between the front and the back of the Navara for maximum braking efficiency. At the Ricke time, ABS prevents the wheels locking, keeping you in control of the vehicle.

The front Ventilated Disc Brakes allow heat to be dissipated more rapidly to improve braking action, promote less brake fade and enhance brake life. Drum Brakes with brake boosters on the rear enhance safe, confident braking.
