Nissan Navara test drive since 2010 pickup
Released Nissan Navara test
The updated Nissan Navara is much better on off -road ... I had never traveled to Nissan Navara before. It so happened that our paths did not intersect with him. But many were interested in me: is it worth buying it? I was ashamed to answer: I don't know ...
Therefore, I took a timeout, called friends-journalists and asked. They always answered: yes. But every time I doubted: is it so? Finally, it became possible to check. And just before the test drive, a colleague called me and said: do you take Navara with a 2.5 diesel engine? You will not like. Terribly stupid. Never ask for automobile journalists about cars!
To find the limit of this pickup can only on serious fractures
Hanging the wheel on such a crocodile is a difficult task
Big Buff
Some time ago, I acquired a fair amount of disgust for small pickups. Dodge Ram is to blame for everything. A few days of acquaintance with the American Buf and Cargo Skyd, one star remains, the rest fade. Previously, I willingly entered into hot disputes about the Nissan NP300 and Mazda BT-50. I could see for hours what one of them is more than the other than the other. Discuss the size of the Ssangyong Actyon Sports body (especially the height of the side). Prove the advantages of Superselect on Mitsubishi L200, simultaneously scolding its suspension. Well and so on. Now I can only talk about American comfort and a motor of 6.2 liters. True, this will be a conversation about purely hypothetical possibilities, because I will need to kill someone at least to buy such expensive toys. Nevertheless, the American gives a clear idea of \u200b\u200bthe ideal of a pickupa. So, first of all, he must be comfortable. All the rest of the turquoilles. In none of the small L200 trucks, this does not even smell like this. They are utilitarian to the bones of the bones. In the pursuit of carrying capacity, the designers erase their inner essence. An ordinary person carries a ton of cargo at best once a month, and travels empty every day. Why does he need one day of joy and 29 days of torment?
Thresholds, of course, are better to remove right away
There is a lot of places in the back, sitting inconvenient knees look at the ceiling
Faster, more powerful, with a camera
If you want to choose a decent pickup, look at the main parameter its carrying capacity. The smaller it is, the better you will. Therefore, I immediately liked Nissan Navara. He is not going to carry a ton. Maximum 705 kg. In addition, the manufacturer separately took care of the smoothness of the course, knowing that Navara is a family, and not a utilitarian car.
However, those who have already traveled to Navara are very known. They are more interested in how the updated model differs from the old. In fact, two things. A modernized 2.5 DCI diesel engine, whose power was raised by 16 liters. with., And now it is 190 liters. With. (Nissanists proudly declare that this engine is one of the best in their class, which can be seen in the share of truth.) And the rear view camera. Previously, it was available only on Pathfinder, now it appeared in the updated Navara. The camera greatly simplifies the parking process, especially in the presence of overall cargo on a cargo platform or with a stiff roof installed.
The ducts are divorced along the edges of the console, and the screen is raised above the speedometer level competently
Nissan Navara rides as it should do this good pickup. With dignity, but not slow. The previous one accelerated to hundreds in 11.5 seconds, the current one in 10.7. Therefore, there will be no problems in the city stream.
Iron smokes
On off -road, cross -country ability improved markedly. The diesel traction was increased by 47 Newton meters to 450. The geometric parameters have also changed. The angle of entry grew from 29 to 30 degrees, the angle of the exit from 22 to 24. But most of all, a new angle of the fracture is pleased, because for a car with such a long base it is very important: 22 degrees instead of 18 old ones. The arsenal of the means of combating off -road also includes a reduced transmission and blocking of the rear differential. In general, you can get stuck only for one reason on the belly.
190 horsepower and 450 Newton meters of moment. Not bad
Although the pickup design is an old and reliable frame, springs, a rear unreasonable bridge, a rigidly connected all -wheel drive, on the forums on the network there are many dissatisfied with the reliability of the previous version of the truck. During the test drive of the updated model, reliability cannot be checked. But I can express a simple assumption. If you use this car correctly, that is, enjoy comfort and enjoy the meager consumption of only 10 liters of diesel fuel per hundred kilometers, then the probability of breakdowns will reduce to zero. Well, to whom to the joy of cut off -road with full load and try iron for strength, the generally it should be pleasant to celebrate the victory of a person over the machine, squeezing a torn steering column in the plague hands.
