V6 diesel for Nissan Navara

May 27th, 2010 | Tags:

“Get your order in quick” may be the very best information for anybody contemplating a V6-powered Navara doublecab. For Nissan Motor GB is only planning on shipping in the maximum of 300 units in between primary delivery date – Sept 2010 – and March 2011. That’s much less than 10% of total predicted Navara sales within the UK and could nicely mean that Nissan’s new flagship pick-up are going to be in short supply.

The trouble for Nissan is that it’s unsure about the probable level of V6 Navara diesel demand – and there’s a suspicion that, at the moment, the firm is becoming slightly conservative. The critical question is no matter whether prospective buyers sense the V6’s £4,000 cost premium above the top-spec 2.5-litre dCi Navara doublecab (£29,000 versus £25,682) is justified.

So what will V6 buyers receive in return for the additional income? In brief: far more energy, higher towing capability and larger amounts of interior specification.

Currently destined for achievable use in other Nissan autos such as the 4×4 Pathfinder SUV, the new 3.-litre V6 diesel motor delivers 170kW/231hp of output inside the Navara, as well as 550Nm of peak torque across a relatively flat curve (from 1,700rpm), as a result of a seven-speed automatic transmission. That all translates into a brisk -62mph time of 9.3secs and major velocity of 121mph, compared with 10.7secs and 112mph from the typical 2.5-litre dCi. Possibly additional importantly for farming, though, towing capability rises from a couple of.7t (2.5dCi) to 3.0t (V6).

What about fuel consumption? Surprisingly, there is no large penalty here, while using the V6 seven-speed auto – there’s no manual box choice for the 3-litre – returning a combined average of 30.4mpg as against the 2.5-litre auto’s 31.4mpg.

On gear levels, the V6 model – it is most likely for being marketed as an Outlaw in the UK – advantages from all the adjustments lately launched on the 2010-year two.5-litre automobile, which includes a new bumper, bonnet and grille, generating the pick-up 80mm longer, whilst inside the cab you will find upgraded door trims, fabrics and seats. Particularly noticeable are improvements on the dash layout and excellent of controls.

Moreover to the above, the V6 also features as common the Nissan Connect Premium sat nav package – 3D mapping, iPod connectivity, 9GB of music storage, reversing camera and DVD playback – 18in wheels and also a Bose stereo.

Plenty to tempt buyers into the V6, then – as indeed there demands to get on a pick-up which is likely to nudge £30,000. We suspect the majority of farm users will stick while using the two.5-litre Navara, which itself has enjoyed a important 11% output increase (up from 171hp to 190hp) and might be had for a a lot more palatable ‘entry’ tag of just in excess of £21,000. Yet for people who do fancy the buzz and burble of V6 farm transport, we return to our initial advice: book early to avoid disappointment, as you can find confident to get others inside the queue.
