Nissan Navara pickup gets enhanced Euro 6 Diesel Engine

After winning the International Pick-up Award 2016 the Nissan Navara pickup range has now switched to a more advanced and eco-friendly Euro 6 engine.

The upgrade covers both the 190PS twin-turbo and 160PS single turbo versions of the Navara’s 2.3-litre dCi diesel engine and is said to make a significant difference to the pick-up’s environmental performance. CO2 emissions now start from 159 g/km, a reduction of 8g/km on the predecessor Euro 5 engine. Fuel consumption on the Official Combined Cycle has improved to 46.3mpg, up by 1.4mpg.

The Nissan Navara Euro 6 benefits from a reduction in oxides of nitrogen (NOx) thanks to the addition of a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. An AdBlue tank has been fitted to the Navara, with a filler flap on the opposite side of the vehicle to the diesel tank to avoid confusion. The tank can be filled from bottles or pumps, for maximum flexibility for the user. It will hold 17 litres of liquid, allowing up to 7,150 miles between refills. Driver assistance messages relating to the AdBlue system have been integrated into the Navara’s colour LCD combimeter, the central information screen set between the two main dials.

A number of other enhancements have been made to the Nissan Navara’s specification:

  • Idle-Stop System (ISS) for reduced fuel consumption is now standard on all Navara manual models
  • All Navara models now come with a colour combimeter, cruise control with speed limiter, Bluetooth hands-free audio and multi-function controls on the steering wheel
  • The Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) has increased 25-35 kg, while kerb weight has increased 5-38 kg (both depending on model)
  • One-tonne payload and 3.5-tonne towing capacity remain unchanged
