The upgraded unit is available for both the 190PS twin-turbo and 160PS single turbo versions of the Navara’s 2.3-litre dCi diesel engine.
CO2 emissions now start from 159g/km, a reduction of 8g/km on the predecessor Euro 5 engine and said to be the best in its class. Official combined fuel consumption has improved to 46.3mpg, up by 1.4mpg.
The unit uses a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system with an AdBlue tank fitted, using a filler flap on the opposite side of the vehicle to the diesel tank to avoid confusion. The tank can be filled from bottles or pumps and will hold 17 litres of liquid, allowing up to 7,150 miles between refills. Driver assistance messages relating to the AdBlue system have been integrated into the Navara’s colour LCD combimeter central information screen.
Nissan has also announced a number of spec changes to the Nissan Navara:
Idle-Stop System (ISS) for reduced fuel consumption is now standard on all Navara manual models
All Navara models now come with a colour combimeter, cruise control with speed limiter, Bluetooth hands-free audio and multi-function controls on the steering wheel
The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) has increased 25-35 kg, while kerb weight has increased 5-38 kg (both depending on model). The one-tonne payload and 3.5-tonne towing capacity remain unchanged.
