#Pathfinder nissan manual
You get seven-speed automatic with auto or manual shifting take it or leave it. Go for this new V6 and there is no choice of gearbox. Maximum power is 231hp, but more importantly it develops 550Nm of peak torque from as low as 1,700rpm and is available all the way up to 2,500rpm. It offers all the benefits of the former without the weight penalty and unlike the latter there is no need to add stiffening ribs or add extra sound-deadening material. In an unusual move Compacted Graphite Iron is used for the cylinder head instead of cast iron or aluminium alloy. The really big news, however, is the availability of a common rail (1,800 bar) 3-litre V6 turbodiesel for Navara. This engine is available with either a six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmission in both Navara and Pathfinder. Nissan claims a combined cycle figure of 33.2mpg, an improvement of 4.4mpg, while CO 2 emissions have fallen by 40g/km to 224g/km. Not only is there a rise in power and torque - the former is up 19hp to 190hp, the latter has increased by 47Nm to 450Nm - but fuel consumption and emissions have been lowered.

A new direct injection system operates at 2,000 bar - up from 1,800 bar - there’s a reworked cylinder head and a new variable geometry turbo with electric, rather than hydraulic, control for quicker response times. The existing 2.5-litre diesel is retained, but has been heavily revised. Significant changes have also taken place under the bonnet. The top-spec DVD-based sat nav and CD player has been replaced by Nissan’s touch-screen Connect Premium system. The cab interior has also had a makeover with detail changes to the door panels, seats, dashboard display and reworked switchgear. External changes include a new bumpers front and rear - increasing the overall length by 80mm - revised headlamps, new bonnet and grille, and the availability of 18in alloys. They are built alongside each other at the NMISA plant in Barcelona, which also produces the Primastar and NV200 vans.įive years on and it’s time for a mid-life makeover for the duo. It’s been five years since Nissan launched the Navara pick-up and it’s very close relative the Pathfinder SUV and in that time it’s sold 40,000 of the former and 10,000 of the latter in the UK.
