Car
manufacturer Nissan has rolled out the 2019 facelift version of its Navara pickup
truck in Europe. The car has hardly changed much on the outside, but the tech
is a different story altogether.
The only
visual novelty comes in the form of redesigned headlights – and even those are
only available in higher trims. The cabin also stays the same, unless you count
the slightly improved multimedia system with the display now measuring eight
inches across.
Things get
much more interesting in the tech department, though. The 2019 truck ships with
a new six-speed manual transmission and an improved 2.3-liter turbocharged
diesel engine. Previously only available in the 160-hp (120-kW) version, it now
ships in 163-kW (122-kW) and 190-hp (142-kW) variants. The 163-hp model even
comes equipped with dual turbochargers instead of a single one. A new
seven-speed automatic gearbox is optionally available for the 190-hp unit.
Among other
things, the 2019 Nissan Navara facelift sports coil-spring rear suspension in
place of the old leaf-spring one, and takes advantage of new disc brakes
instead of drum brakes.
