Nissan Navara Double Cab in Blue Driving in Iceland

  • 5 years ago
Nissan Navara's all-new six speed manual transmission is manufactured in Europe and is the first application globally. The new transmission delivers a major improvement in ease of shifting and refinement thanks to cable operation, adoption of a shorter gear lever, enhanced synchronisation and reduced vibration. The new transmission also features a more conventional shift pattern, with reverse gear located next to first, and new gear ratios for improved fuel efficiency and lower noise levels for highway driving. There has also been further tuning of the 7-speed automatic transmission, with improvements to comfort, refinement and responsiveness.

The Navara features the second generation of the SUV-like 5-link rear suspension, a radical departure from the leaf springs used on most competitor pick-ups, providing better comfort and control without compromising capability. Nissan was the first manufacturer to bring 5-link suspension to the 1-ton pick-up market on the Nissan Navara Double Cab launched in 2015, and this has now been applied to the King Cab, the world's first application on this type of pick-up.
