nissan navara previews next frontier update more pictures

While light on details, Nissan has released photos and some specs on its newest mid-size pickup, the Navara.

The new truck, which is likely to form the basis of the next Frontier, will come with two engine options in the world market, both of which are 2.5L 4-cylinder engines. The main difference lies in the fact that one is a gasoline engine while the other is a diesel. A seven-speed automatic and a six-speed manual are offered. The diesel is expected to make roughly 187 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. We’ll have more details as they’re available.

This looks a lot like it's going to address people who want car-like comfort in a truck. And you can clearly see parts that are shared with the Altima and new Rogue. I quite like it.

  @Kyree S. Williams Most US full size pickups are "cars". Look at their size vs capability as a work truck, they could be much better.

  I for one have little interest in a truck having "car-like comfort." That's what cars are for. I just want a truck that: fits in my garage (F-150 can't), I can easily use for the types of projects I do (I have no delusions of towing a space shuttle), and is cheap to buy/own. If it's full of hard plastic, great! It's easier to clean. If it has no touch screen, great! Those are dumb anyway, but even dumber in trucks. If it has only an extended can instead of 4 doors, great! Then there's more space for the bed (the whole purpose of a truck), and if I wanted to move people, I'd use a car.

  @redav I want "car like comfort" in my work truck, but I limit that to AC, comfortable seats, and reasonable sound insulation. I don't want my truck wearing me out. My work does that well enough. My truck has both full crew cab (aka "lockable storage") and 8'+ long bed. Of course, it's also nearly 22' long, and I really need a "small" work truck for gigs where I don't need all that capacity.

Here is an interior shot of the "large" D23 Looks quite nice. http://www.themotorreport.com.au/content/image/2/0/2015_nissan_navara_official_05-0611.jpg Here's a shot of the chassis. *Note* The chassis is telescopic in a frontal accident. http://www.themotorreport.com.au/content/image/2/0/2015_nissan_navara_official_09-0611.jpg

  Where does the motor/transmission go in a frontal collision when the frame collapses? Is there structure to direct it under the cab?

Redapple2 175,000 miles? Wow. Another topic, Hot chicks drive Cabos at higher % than most other cars. I always look.
Mister When the news came out, I started checking Autotrader and cars.com for stickshift Versas. There are already a handful showing at $15.3k. When anybody talks about buying a new Versa, folks always say that you're better off buying a nicer used car for the same money. But these days, $15.3k doesn't buy very many "nicer used cars".
28-Cars-Later A little pricy given mileage but probably not a horrible proposition for a Sunday car. The old saying is you're not buying a pre-owned car you're buying the previous owner, and this one has it hooked up to a float charger (the fact he even knows what one is, is a very good sign IMO). Leather and interior look decent, not sure which motor this runs but its probably common (for VAG at least). Body and paint look clean, manual trans, I see the appeal."but I think that's just a wire, not a cracked body panel." Tim, its a float charger. I am doing the exact same thing with the charger hanging via a magnetic hook on the HVAC overhead in my garage.

Theflyersfan Then what caused that odd melted crayon smell that new VWs had for ages? Was that the smell of the soft touch plastics beginning their slow but endless march back into their base elements?And you know what gets rid of any new car smell body killing emissions? Top down, drive fast. Cures everything.
