NISSAN NAVARA ENGINE

The new V6, 2.5 litre diesel engine has been developed  by the Nissan. The 2,5-litre diesel engine now available in South Africa has been given a significant upgrades, getting a 10% increase in power and torque with engine power up to 140 kW together with 450 N.m, of torque with even better fuel economy gains to help beat inflation, while fuel consumption is said to have also improved down to 8.5l/100kms with just on 9km per litre in the urban environment and Nissan adds a record reduced overall amount of emissions which produces CO2 emissions of 250 g/km. Now the 3.0L V6 diesel engine has arrived with the all new 2011 Navara that generates 170 kW of power and 550 Nm of torque. Peak torque is achieved from as low as 1 700 r/min and is available all the way to 2 500 r/min.

The Navara in South Africa is probably one of the most popular light commercial vehicle in its price range. Known more as a sport truck it bears few differences from the UK versions. There are 4 engines available for these trucks, namely the YD25 and YD40 which are Turbocharged Diesel engines and the V6 petrol engine. The Diesel engine in 4WD models produces 128 kW (172 Hp) at 4000 rpm and 403 N·m at 2000 rpm, with the 2WD models producing less at 106 kW (142 Hp) at 4000 rpm and 356 N·m at 2000 rpm. The V6 engine produces a respectable 198 kW (266 Hp) at 5600 rpm of power and 385 N·m at 4000 rpm of torque. Both these engines come with a standard 5 speed Automatic transmission, with a 6 speed manual available for the Diesel models.

The Nissan NP300 was introduced in 1997 for the 1998 model year as a replacement for the aging 1986–1997 Nissan Hardbody. Nissan first offered the NP300 as a basic LDV with a 2.0 litre engine, the KA24DE, but then added the V6 engine which was engine coded VG33E in 1999. The NP300 is a basic style for the Nissan Navara, elsewhere, the Navara was also known as the Nissan Frontier.

For 2001, Nissan face lifted the NP300, introducing bolder styling in an effort to make it more appealing, hence the D22 Navara’s were styled. The first series of D22s had larger QD32, 3.2 litre normally aspirated diesel engine that produced 75 kW. The second generation series was produced with 4 available engine types:

• 2.4 litre, DOHC, 16V, 4 cylinder, 110 kW (148 hp) @ 5600 rpm and 208 N·m
• 2.5 litre, DOHC, 16V, 4 cylinder, 100 kW (134 hp) @ 4000 rpm and 304 N·m
• 3.0 litre, DOHC, 12V, 6 cylinder, 110 kW (148 hp) @ 3400 rpm and 314 N·m
• 3.3 litre, SOHC, 12V, 6 cylinder, 125 kW (168 hp) @ 4800 rpm and 266 N·m

The 2.5 litre Diesel engines are Turbo charged with intercooler, and the 3.0 litre is Turbo charged without an intercooler. Available engines include a petrol 2.4L, 3.3L, and a 3.3L Supercharged version 210 hp (160 kW) and available in 4x4.
