The NEW 2015 Nissan Navara D23/NP300 !!!

[lighthammer]

Ok folks, so it's been known that the new nissan Navara is coming out this year, in fact it's coming out in November to a world debut.


Many refinements have been made to the Alpha truck platform and it seems that nissan has listened to its worldwide customers and made a list of improvements.


So without further ado, here are some pictures stol... err.. borrowed from other websites that showcase our beloved datsun pickup!

and some more pics of the Navara in real life... the datsun pickup is already making its rounds in Thailand!!

Here's a review of the Thailand made model of the Navara D23/NP300


http://www.motoring.com.au/reviews/commercial/nissan/navara/nissan-navara-2015-review-45040





Some excerpts from the review...




....make no mistake it addresses most of the Nissan ute’s perceived shortcomings, matching (and in some cases surpassing) rivals in key areas including towing capacity, technology, safety and ride comfort (thanks to the availability of a multi-link coil spring rear suspension on some models)......




.....The SUV-inspired design touches continue inside, with a sweeping dashboard dominated by a large centre stack with a 7.0-inch touchscreen, at least in the up-spec dual-cab models we drove on launch.
Lifting the mood are hard but textured plastic surfaces, with chrome and piano black highlights. The user-friendly infotainment system should be familiar to Nissan fans and features full Bluetooth and USB phone and audio connectivity, sat nav and a reverse camera to go with rear parking sensors.....





....Other new tech such as push-to-start ignition and a sophisticated digital trip computer nestled in the instrument cluster and controlled by steering wheel buttons, serve to push the new Navara well beyond its humble workhorse origins....




...
The dual-cab utes were also fitted with a small, electric sliding window in the rear glass and sunroof – both novelties in the Aussie one-tonne ute market [unless you own a Triton].
The beefy 550Nm turbodiesel V6 departs the Navara range in this generation but it shouldn’t be missed too much. A new Renault-sourced, high-output twin-turbo four-cylinder engine does a great job of providing smooth, refined and punchy performance.
The lighter, more efficient 2.3-litre four will be offered in single and twin-turbo configurations and certainly feels more responsive across the rev range than the 2.5-litre engine it replaces. It pulls strongly from lower revs and peak torque of 450Nm twin-turbo range-topper arrives from just 1500rpm...




...
The new engine also teams up well with both six-speed manual and seven-speed automatic transmissions. The auto with its ‘double overdrive’ gearing and willingness to hold on to higher gears across the rev range (as well as the option to manually select gears) is the pick for all-round use.
Also impressive was the new multi-link rear suspension’s ability to soak up the bumps and provide a relatively smooth, well-damped ride over some very rough and broken dirt roads in the northern Thai jungles around Chiang Mai.
Unladen utes with rear leaf springs usually bounce and skip over rough terrain, but the Navara’s more sophisticated rear-end remained well planted, dispatching most nasties in its path while delivering a commendably composed off-road experience.
The upside is that coil sprung Navara utes will still offer the full one-tonne payload, so there’s no need to sacrifice practicality for comfort....





...All 4x4 models retain switch-on-the-fly up to 100km/h, although unlike Amarok and Triton, the Navara’s 4WD system will not operate on bitumen. However, over a tricked-up 4WD circuit it proved an adept performer, helped by short front overhang, 218mm clearance and decent rampover and departure angles.
Electronic driver aids including hill-start assist, and hill-descent control helped keep everything under control while navigating a steep 30-degree slope. An electronic locking rear diff will also be available for serious off-road use.
Nissan has also ticked the safety box by fitting seven airbags to the latest Navara including rear curtain and driver’s knee airbags....
