Big pickup truck Nissan Navara D40

The second generation of the Nissan Navara pickup truck in the D40 body has been produced since 2005, and at the beginning of 2010 the car was subjected to minor restyling, as a result of which its design changed slightly, and upgraded engines appeared under the hood.

On the Russian market, the all-wheel drive Nissan Navara D40 pickup truck, created on the basis of an SUV, is offered only in a double cab version, the so-called Double Cab. For the first time, the car officially began to be sold with us since 2006.

Options and prices Nissan Navara 2016

Nissan Navara (D40) is not particularly designed for urban hustle - its impressive dimensions can cause a lot of trouble both when maneuvering in traffic and when parking. Overall length of the pickup is 5220 mm, width - 1850, height - 1774, ground clearance(clearance) reaches an impressive 233 millimeters.

As for the interior, Navara's full-fledged five-seater cabin is very comfortable and differs from the donor Pathfinder only in small things, while maintaining high quality materials used and good build quality.

Thanks to the high seating position, visibility from the driver's seat in the Nissan Navara III (D40) is excellent. True, the center console is somewhat overloaded with controls, but they are located very logically and within reach, which allows them to be used without much difficulty.

The base engine for a pickup truck in the Russian market is a 2.5-liter diesel engine with a capacity of 190 hp, which is available both in tandem with a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission.

But the top version of the Nissan Navara (2014-2015) has a more powerful 3.0-liter under the hood diesel engine, producing 231 hp and a peak torque of 550 Nm, which is transmitted to all wheels through a 7-band automatic box.

The choice of buyers car is offered in three basic configurations. The initial version of the XE, priced from 1,433,000 rubles, is equipped with frontal airbags, ABS, EBD, an immobilizer, a C-channel quick cargo attachment system and full power accessories.

The price of a new Nissan Navara 2016 with an automatic is estimated at 1,593,000 rubles, and a top-end pickup truck with a 3.0-liter diesel engine in the LE configuration costs at least 2,013,000 rubles. Its equipment already includes six airbags, ESP, fog lights, light and rain sensors, climate control, leather interior, heated front seats, premium audio system, standard navigation system, rear view camera, alloy wheels and much more.

Nissan Navara III D40

Installation of an auxiliary type air suspension on a Nissan Navara D40. On the car, the rear spring package and shock absorbers were replaced with a kit to increase the clearance and cargo characteristics to prevent subsidence of the rear after installing the "camper" module. Temporarily the problem was solved but the weight of the camper forced the springs to sag. It was decided to strengthen the package of the rear axle of the auxiliary air suspension cargo purpose (art no. 242012). To soften the work of the suspension when driving a car without a module, I had to remove the lower sprung leaf. Air suspension compensated for his absence. The activation of the axial pneumatic set is carried out by the compressor control system with the AirRide AR.MS 2-120PS receiver (art no. 902003). This system is the minimum-optimum for the tasks. It is able to provide pressure in the pillows up to 8BAR, which is equal to the lifting characteristic of the pneumatic kit up to 1.2 tons. The separation of airbag control eliminates the effect of the buildup of a car with a camper inside the body, which has a high degree of windage.
The 5 liter receiver of the system took its place on the transverse frame reinforcement. The compressor and electrics are ideally placed in a niche behind the left back seat. Under it is the BRS of the tire inflation option.
As an additional option, wheel inflation was implemented (set with digital pressure gauge Viair) art no. 801040.

Time spent on equipment installation - 2 working days

The cost of project equipment and installation work is 86t.r.

A prominent representative of Nissan's small pickups is the Navara, which, generation after generation, is getting rid of utility and strives to become one of the best solutions (in terms of versatility of use) in its class.

And its renewal in 2010 is another step on this path.

SUV-truck Nissan "in the 40th body" - "the second generation of Navara", but technically refers to the "third generation": because. The “first” generation of the truck in the face of the Navara D21 was produced from 1986 to 1997 (and already belonged to the class of compact pickups), then the second generation car came out under the symbol “D22” (in Russia it is known under the name “NP-300”) - which also occupied the niche of small-sized pickups ... well, since 2004, it has been put into production nissan model Navara with the index "D40" (built on an elongated and slightly modified platform "Pathfinder") - thanks to this "donor" this car moved into the class of mid-size pickups - its dimensions are: as much as 5296 mm in length (with a wheelbase of 3200 mm and ground clearance 233 mm), 1848 mm wide and 1795 mm high.

The design of the Navara pickup in front exactly reproduces the features of the Pathfinder R51. A powerful bumper with integrated round foglights smoothly flows into the expanders wheel arches giving the car masculinity. Medium-sized headlights, combining grace and chopped shapes, go over the fenders, which visually expands the pickup. Elegant mirrors with integrated direction indicators do not discord with the overall brutal profile.

The back of the Navara looks typical for a pickup truck body - but there is nothing to improve here.

The interior for the “off-road truck” “migrated” almost unchanged from the Pathfinder.

And by 2010, it has undergone the same changes as in the original model: it has noticeably improved in terms of ergonomics and the quality of the materials used.

The front seats are electrically adjustable and heated. On the second row of comfort (compared to the first), of course, “an order of magnitude” less - a small legroom, a vertical seat back.

The dashboard has a traditional "Jeep" architecture - slightly rough, but with well-balanced ergonomics and functionality. A touch-screen information display is located in the center of the dashboard.

But the most interesting thing about the Navara D40 pickup is hidden under the hood. For Russian market The pickup is offered with two diesel engines:

2.5-liter 4-cylinder 190-horsepower 450 Nm (before the modernization, this engine “gave out” 174 hp)
and a 3-liter turbocharged V6 with 231 hp. 550 Nm.

The turbodiesel is aggregated with a seven-speed automatic, and more weak motor- 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic.

Since the main purpose of the Nissan Navara is the transportation of goods on all types of roads, it rear suspension, unlike the Pathfinder, is a continuous bridge suspended on semi-elliptical leaf springs. The body is based on the F-Alpha frame, built from high-strength steel (according to the proprietary unique technology Nissan), combining rigidity and strength with a low vehicle weight. The front suspension has double fork arms and coil springs.

With this potential and the All Mode 4×4 all-wheel drive transmission, the car feels great off-road. However, we must not forget about the long base and the fact that " the cooler the jeep, the farther to follow the tractor».

As the test drive shows, the Nissan Navara behaves decently on paved roads as well. A sharp steering wheel, energy-intensive suspension allow you to move on a pickup truck from Nissan, like on a regular crossover. At a speed of 140-150 km / h, the car behaves predictably and adequately, keeps a straight line well and obediently enters turns.

The cargo platform of the machine is equipped with a C-Channel body mounting system and has an almost square shape, its floor dimensions are 1511 × 1516 mm in length and width with a height of 457 mm. A pickup truck is able to take 800 kg of cargo and five passengers, as well as tow a trailer gross weight up to 3 tons.

In addition, Nissan engineers managed to significantly reduce fuel consumption. The Navara D40 pickup, weighing more than 2 tons, with an inline-four, is content with less than 11 liters of diesel fuel, while the turbodiesel version requires 12.5 liters per 100 km in urban mode. Such acceptable fuel consumption is possible due to the fact that the Navara is, in fact, a rear-wheel drive car. Front-wheel drive it is connected forcibly - by slightly turning the washer for selecting the drive mode: 2H (rear-wheel drive), 4H (four-wheel drive), 4LO (four-wheel drive with the ability to turn on low gear). The wheel differential lock is activated with a separate key.

For Russian pickup fans, Nissan Navara is offered in six trim levels. The price for Nissan Navara in 2014 starts from 1 million 365 thousand and reaches 1 million 945 thousand rubles. In general, everything is as usual - the cost of a pickup truck is growing "in proportion" to the engine size, the complexity of the gearbox and the technical content.

Summing up, I would like to note that the D40 model, both in terms of price and equipment, has come close to expensive jeeps, moving further and further away from its intended purpose - a "workhorse".

Love for pickups has always been characteristic of America. There's a pickup truck - "their own" for both the farmer and the rapper hung with gold. Another thing is Russia. Our people are skeptical about the car, which, in fact, is a fairly cramped four-wheel drive (and even then not always) truck.

Recently, however, we have seen a tendency to change the unenviable position of pickups in the automotive rankings. These cars began to buy. And not only cheap Chinese, but also high-quality - Japanese. However, the pickup truck still remains in the eyes of most motorists a utilitarian car without any aesthetic frills and comfort attributes that have already become familiar. Quite expensive vehicle to transport people and bulky goods.

However, in our time, even machines for purely practical purposes, in order to improve sales, make everything more beautiful and complete everything better. Hero Nissan test The Navara is built on the same platform as the new Pathfinder and claims to be more than just another pickup truck.

Probably no other similar car aroused such interest among outsiders. Logically. Big, brutal, with a catchy design. The rear part is especially interesting. I must say that if there hadn’t been an intricately shaped “cap” on the body compartment, the appearance of the car would have turned out to be much more banal. But he is, and thanks to him Navara is like a large SUV with bold outlines. The front end is Nissan's modern chopped style and replicates the new Pathfinder. The sidewalls with large arches are embossed and not boring at all. And the rear rectangular doors are reminiscent of the Hummer H2. The car stands on cast 17-inch wheels, the image is taut and, one might say, swift. I open the door...

Navara interior details also refer to Pathfinder: front panel, steering wheel ... Leather seats, electrically adjustable, an audio system with a six-disc CD changer. Even separate climate control was found. There is a hatch. Luxury! Under the hood noisily comes to life diesel engine, he generously endows the gear selector with vibration, and indeed the whole car. The optimal fit is found quickly. The range of adjustment of the front seats is wide, but it should be noted that the rear passengers will be infringed on the right to space if those sitting in the front take relaxed postures. However, golden mean easy to find. By the way, Navara is available in two versions - King Cab and Double Cab. The last option is with an increased volume in the second row area. It is Double Cab that will be sold on our market.

Severely lame visibility. The spectacular rear part covers literally everything, you have to turn it back on the side mirrors and to the touch. Beauty demanded sacrifice. Here would parktronic!

Under the hood is a 2.5-liter 4-cylinder turbodiesel with a system common rail. It gives out honest 174 forces and a car of torque - 403 Nm! The engine is paired with a five-speed automatic. These two are doing their job well. Traction power unit enough for quite dynamic driving around the city, and for slow movement on muddy off-road. I was surprised when on the track the car easily reached 180 km / h on the speedometer. Average consumption fuel during the test with intensive acceleration and regular traffic jams was an encouraging 14 l / 100 km.

At the heart of the car is a ladder-type frame. The front suspension is independent, like the Pathfinder, and the rear is a different design - a continuous axle with leaf springs. A good set for a car that claims to be off-road. The drive by default is only on the rear wheels. If you want to make the pickup all-wheel drive, you need to turn the handle at the bottom of the center console. It also includes a reduction gear. From the off-road arsenal there is also a rear cross-axle differential lock, which is available only in the “lowered” mode and can be used in emergency cases.

Loudly purring diesel, Navara takes off. The “automatic” shifts gears quickly and smoothly, and the torque motor cheerfully pulls a heavy car in the first three gears. The engine allows Navara to tow a trailer weighing up to 3 tons. I had to get used to the "long" steering wheel and pretty twist the steering wheel. However, the hydraulic booster deserves praise - no "gags" during high-speed rotation. And yes, the feedback is great. A large heavy car readily executes commands, does not frighten with belated reactions. Rear drive allows you to even fool around a little at the exit of the turns - for fun.

Four massive metal brackets are stored under the left passenger seat at the rear, which are inserted into special grooves in cargo hold and allow you to securely fix even very large and heavy objects. The compartment is completely bare from the inside, painted in the color of the car. The tailgate opens down and the lid with glass opens up. There is even the possibility of ventilation (probably in case of transportation of livestock) - the windows on the sides open.

What cannot be taken away from trucks is their disregard for the flawed roadbed. Oak suspension, energy-intensive shock absorbers and "high" tires compensate for all the shortcomings of bad roads - Navara, bouncing merrily and slightly "goat" rear axle, famously passes where others trudge at a speed of 20 km / h. Therefore, on certain sections of the road Nissan owner Navara has the right to look condescendingly at supercars. He also has a supercar, only from a different opera.

The main action of this opera begins when the pickup truck drives off the hard surface onto the virgin land. Here the car happily demonstrates what it is capable of in terms of status. The suspension is long-travel, and hanging the wheel is not an easy task. When turned on all-wheel drive traction is distributed equally among the axles, and Navara, kneading the dirt with all wheels, enthusiastically rushes forward. If you use the lower row, there is a feeling that this car will crawl through everywhere. The main thing when passing through the folds of the landscape is not to hit your head on the front pillar, but to hold on to the steering wheel more firmly. In general, a real SUV.

A rosy picture emerges. Navara is a pickup truck that seems to have managed to get a fair distance from its ancestors - purely economic vehicles. Bright appearance, five-seater saloon, sunroof, leather, clear handling and rich off-road potential. Given the ever-growing interest in Russia for outdoor activities that require special equipment, this car may suddenly appeal to a person who was previously categorically indifferent to pickups.

All cars presented on the modern market are combined into several groups depending on the manufacturer and modification. Especially popular are cars under the Nissan brand, which are made in Japan. Their exceptional quality puts such cars on the top lines of ratings all over the world. No one today doubts the reliability of cars from this manufacturer. However, as a result of various factors, even such machines can break down. Of course, this is an annoying nuisance, but still do not despair. The main thing in such a situation is professional repair who can bring a used car back to life. High-quality parts for such a repair will allow you to find a Nissan auto-dismantler. This technology is popular today, it constantly proves high efficiency.

Using original used parts is the key to quality repairs

With the right approach, Nissan auto-dismantling can really become a source of original spare parts at the most reasonable prices. Experienced specialists who are well versed in the device of the car and can immediately assess the suitability of parts for further use, take into work only suitable spare parts. For auto-dismantling, those cars are traditionally used that drove on excellent European routes, but as a result of an accident they can no longer be usable. Despite previous use, after replacement, Nissan spare parts can last a very long time. After the Nissan disassembly is completed, professionals send each part for a thorough examination. Currently, it is carried out on special computer equipment, so you can immediately notice even a minor breakdown. Faulty Nissan spare parts are not used in the future, and those that have been tested can be used with virtually no restrictions. This is very convenient for budget repairs for cars of any modification. Carried out according to all the rules, Nissan auto-dismantling makes it possible to choose a part that is suitable for cars that have already been discontinued. Their original components, obtained directly from the manufacturer, are very expensive. Often, used Nissan spare parts for rare models simply cannot be found on sale. Many car owners have faced such an urgent problem, and Nissan disassembly will help to solve it quickly and inexpensively.

During auto-dismantling, the car is completely disassembled, and therefore body parts also appear in stock. They are extremely rare in the windows of original spare parts, therefore they are traditionally in great demand. In this case, Nissan dismantling will also come to the rescue. Here you can pick up any detail not only in shape, technical specifications and modifications, but according to the color of the car. Contact us and you will be able to make sure that Nissan dismantling is really profitable.
