Edaran Tan Chong Motor (ETCM) has recently taken the wraps off the all-new Nissan Navara Black Edition, aimed at enhancing the aesthetics and features of the already popular VL and V variants within the Navara pick-up model range.
The Navara Black Edition features several key design elements, including a newly designed front grille cladding, door mirror covers, and over fenders, all finished in sleek black. In addition, the V variant comes equipped with gloss black 17-inch alloy wheels, while the VL variant maintains its distinctive black and polished 18-inch alloy wheels.
The striking blacked-out grille, previously exclusive to the flagship PRO-4X, enhances the appeal of the VL and V variants by giving them a refined yet rugged presence. This effect is further accentuated when paired with the impressive Quad-LED Projector Headlamps featuring C-shaped LED Signature Daytime Running Lights.
The sleek black theme extends to the sides of the vehicle, featuring gloss black door mirror covers alongside two-tone over fenders and alloy wheels with a matching finish.
In addition, the VL variant now includes accessories from the Protection Package, such as a fuel tank guard, oil sump guard, kicking plate, driving video recorder, door visor, and V-KOOL security film tinting. On the other hand, the V variant is equipped with the Premium Package, which includes leather combination seats and V-KOOL security film tinting. These enhancements add to the overall style and functionality of it.
Both the VL and V variants are equipped with the powerful YD25 four-cylinder Common Rail Turbo-Diesel engine, delivering an impressive output of 190PS and 450Nm of torque. This well-proven engine is paired with a smooth-shifting 7-speed automatic transmission, which also offers manual mode gear selection for added control.
To ensure excellent traction, especially in slippery or off-road conditions, torque is distributed to all four wheels through an electronically controlled 4WD system with Active Brake Limited Slip Differential.
When driving in urban environments, the Navara can easily switch to the more fuel-efficient 2WD mode with a simple adjustment using the Shift-On-The-Fly control dial. Unlike many other pick-up trucks with leaf spring rear suspension, it employs a sophisticated Multi-link Coil Springs setup at the rear axle. This configuration enhances passenger ride comfort without compromising its load-carrying capabilities, striking an ideal balance between comfortable on-road driving and impressive off-road performance.
The Nissan Navara incorporates advanced safety features that reflect Nissan Intelligent Mobility principles, even in everyday vehicles like pickup trucks. The Navara is recognized as one of the safest trucks in its category, and both the VL and V variants offer an array of standard safety features, including:
- Six airbags
- Vehicle Dynamic Control
- Hill Start Assist
- Hill Descent Control
- Anti-lock Braking System with Electronic Brake Distribution and Brake Assist
Moreover, the VL and V variants are equipped with additional advanced safety technologies, including:
- Intelligent Predictive Forward Collision Warning that can detect vehicles two cars ahead
- Emergency Braking
- Intelligent Driver Alertness
- Intelligent Around View Monitor (360° Camera) with Off-Road Mode and Moving Object Detection
