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?

Bd2 Would be sweet on a Telluride.
Luke42 When will they release a Gladiator 4xe?I don’t care what color it is, but I do care about being able to plug it in.
Bd2 As I have posited here numerous times; the Hyundai Pony Coupe of 1974 was the most influential sports and, later on, supercar template. This Toyota is a prime example of Hyundai's primal influence upon the design industry. Just look at the years, 1976 > 1974, so the numbers bear Hyundai out and this Toyota is the copy.
MaintenanceCosts Two of my four cars currently have tires that have remaining tread life but 2017 date codes. Time for a tire-stravaganza pretty soon.
Lorenzo I'd actually buy another Ford, if they'd bring back the butternut-squash color. Well, they actually called it sea foam green, but some cars had more green than others, and my 1968 Mercury Montego MX was one of the more-yellow, less-green models. The police always wrote 'yellow' on the ticket.
