The launch of the Series III Nisssan Navara brings the option of a 3-litre V6 engine, 120kW at 4800rpm and 248Nm at 4000rpm, to the 4x2 single and dual cab models, and to the 4x4 dual cab. The 2960cc has one camshaft per bank of cylinders. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard. Cosmetic changes include a new grille and headlights, new rear lights and changed badging.
Brakes remain discs at the front and drums at the rear.
The 4x4 gets a 3.2 litre diesel. The rear doors on the dual cab models have child-proof safety locks.
