I first spotted the Nissan Navara LE in Bukit Beruang more than a month ago in Supreme Black. I didn't have the chance to snap a picture then as both parties were in motion. Fortunately, I had the chance to be up-close and personal with another Navara LE when I was visiting Jaya Jusco.
The 4x4 twincab is the most powerful pick-up truck in Malaysia. It became available on November 5th last year, in Malaysia's market sold by Edaran Tan Chong Motor. Unlike the Frontier, Navara only comes in 5-speed automatic transmission. What I am amazed is that, with its 2.5L diesel churning 174hp at 4000rpm and 403 Newton meter at 2000rpm, this beasty baby is the most forceful in the 2.5L twincab 4x4 segment. Added with 16-inch wheels, this beauty is majestic. =D
One thing I know now is that I was wrong in saying that Frontier is being replaced by Navara. Navara is being offered as another option besides the Frontier which is renamed to DD2. It is still in the market but with limited quantities. The Navara is larger and bolder than the Frontier though. It is not a compact pick-up truck anymore. Even the Toyota Hilux is defeated. Downside is, the Navara is harder to park. And there were a few problems reported in the Australian market that the fan is made from a plastic substance and it is easily damaged. This 4x4 twincab is being sold for AUD50,000 and the cost to fix the fan? AUD24,000. But that is in the foreign market.
With a torque of 403Nm, Navara has officially come close to 335i beemer and the new M3. Talking about performance and speed. Me likey!
For the exterior, Navara is probably the first of its kind in Malaysia to be equipped with Xenon HID headlamps which according to Edaran Tan Chong Motor that it is JPJ approved. The lamps are also height-adjustable. Cool. The Navara has a gallant and aggressive look I must say. Its steel body incorporates bold grille and distinctive angular lines.
As for the interior, the seats and doors are lathered with leather. With the dashboard being dark beige and light beige seats, it looks like Latio. It has 2 glove compartments, ample storage space by the doors and arm rest in the cabin.
This baby comes in 3 colours: Supreme Black (like the one I took), Twilight Grey, and Tungsten Silver.
