Nissan Launches Updated Turbo Diesel Navara D22 Range
3 February 2008
Nissan is updating its Navara D22 compact pickup with a new inter-cooled turbo diesel engine and revised model line-up. The company is introducing the new Navara at the Brisbane (Australia) International Motor Show, 2-11 February.
The new line-up includes both dual cab and single cab variants, all powered by a new 2.5-liter turbo-diesel engine matched to a five-speed manual transmission. The inter-cooled YD25 turbo diesel engine produces a maximum power output of 98kW (131 hp) at 3600 rpm and 304 Nm (224 lb-ft) of torque from 2000 rpm.
The 16-valve, double overhead cam YD diesel features second-generation common rail technology, a variable nozzle turbocharger which delivers lower emissions as well as more power, and a new balancer system for greater refinement.
The 4x2 single cab consumes 7.3 L/100km (32 mpg US), while the 4x4 single cab achieves a combined cycle of 9.1 L/100km (25.8 mpg US) and the 4x4 dual cab ST-R 9.2 L/100km (25.6 mpg US). The 4x2 Navara can tow up to 1,500 kg (3,306 lbs) braked, while the 4x4 variants are rated to 2,800 kg (6,173 lbs) braked.

I guess I would have expected even somewhat better mpg than they are claiming, especially for the very low rated engine hp, torque, and displacement (for a diesel). Otherwise, though, this sounds like a good thing. Shame we can't choose from these in the US right now.

It's great to see a japanese manufacturer building a metric car quoting imperial figures in US gallons, wich arent the same as the old "What are they again?" gallons, now if I just convert that back to litres. per
What was the Question again? Oh Kilometers that right.
So the answer. Just remember.
