With the liberalization of the policy of lifting the ban on pickup truck models in recent years and the continuous emergence of many domestic pickup truck products, some joint venture brands have also introduced overseas pickup truck products to the Chinese automotive market and begun to create higher-level products than tool pickup trucks. However, the current domestic pickup truck market has been firmly controlled by domestic car companies represented by Great Wall Motors, and the living space left for old pickup trucks such as Zhengzhou Nissan Navarre has become more and more narrow.
Recently, the 2022 Zhengzhou Nissan Navara launched 3 new models, namely the manual two-wheel drive intelligent connection version, the manual two-wheel drive premium version and the manual four-wheel drive premium version, and the price range of the new model is 165,800 to 191,800 yuan. As a new model, the new car has not changed in terms of internal and external design, mainly due to differences in configuration, let's understand how it performs.
Exterior design
As a new model, the new car in the appearance of the design compared to the existing version can not be said to be very similar, can only be said to be exactly the same, the whole vehicle is still the square shape we are familiar with, the family design has been used so far, the shape is not outdated in the present, but it is really lacking in freshness. Among them, the new model is equipped with a large size of inverted trapezoidal mesh in the front face part, and the surrounding and interior are decorated with rich chrome elements, which looks exquisite enough, but also shows a sense of power, and the huge headlights on both sides are connected with the middle net, and the lighting is only equipped with the basic halogen light source, but it has automatic headlights, and the height of the headlights can be adjusted.
In terms of body size, the specific length, width and height of the new model are 5266×1850×1790/1808 mm, the wheelbase is 3150 mm, and the cargo compartment size is 1510×1562×475 mm. The body side design of this model is full and burly, the muscle lines around the body are very obvious, and the expanded wheel eyebrows show a strong sense of muscle, but the aluminum alloy wheels equipped at the bottom are more monotonous, and the rim size is only 16 inches, which is too small compared to the huge body.
The rear of The Navarre is more square, the shape at the rear railing of the cargo compartment has a slight layering, and the pedal with anti-slip pattern is integrated at the rear bumper. The tail lights on both sides are arranged vertically, and the lights are still halogen light sources without accident.
Interior design
Compared with the appearance, the interior design of Zhengzhou Nissan Navarre is more retro, the interior of the car is rendered with gray color, although the center console area has added piano paint panels and silver trim decorations, but the overall style is still very simple, and most of the places within the car are made of hard plastic materials, and the visual effect is very cheap. The car's dashboard shape has a strong sense of the times, the display effect is still quite clear, the LCD screen in the middle can display water temperature, oil volume, mileage, average fuel consumption and other information, the two sides are still traditional pointer-type instruments. The three-frame steering wheel directly in front of the main driver is ergonomically designed, and the grip is biased towards comfort, but the surface is still made of hard plastic material and there are no function buttons on both sides, which is still poor in terms of actual feel and look.
The interior seats of the new model are uniformly wrapped in fabric fabric, and only basic manual adjustment is supported in terms of function, but the option of leather seat and electric adjustment of the main driver's seat is supported. The interior padding of the front seats of the new car is moderately soft and hard, and the backrest supports the waist relatively well, and it is not easy to feel tired after a long ride.
The rear seats in the car are the same as the front row in terms of material use and workmanship, and the backrest of the seat is relatively straight, which is also a common problem for most pickup truck models, but the bulge of the middle floor of the second row is not too high and the longitudinal space is generous, which has little impact on the riding experience of the intermediate passengers.
dynamical system
The new model is powered by a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine with a maximum output of 140 kW and a peak torque of 235 Nm. In terms of drivetrain, it still matches the 6-speed manual transmission, and provides both rear-drive and four-wheel drive layouts.
Model configuration and purchase recommendations
The 2022 Zhengzhou Nissan Navara new model maintains the interior and exterior design of the model on sale, but has been upgraded for configuration, in which the car provides functions such as a 9-inch central control display screen and reversing image, and adds cargo compartment treasure to the tail compartment to provide better durability. The new car has launched a total of 3 new models, the price range is 165,800 to 191,800 yuan, let's analyze them one by one to see which configuration is more cost-effective.

Uncle Che summed up
As a veteran classic pickup truck model, The Nissan Navarre has always enjoyed a reputation, and although the playfulness of this model is not very good, it has reliable mechanical quality and good reputation. The three new models launched by the car this time are mainly adjusted for the configuration, of which the entry-level 2022 2.5L manual two-wheel drive connected QR25 has the most comprehensive functional performance and the overall cost performance is higher. From the market point of view, Nissan Navarre's main competitors are Isuzu D-MAX, Great Wall Gun, Yuhu 9, etc., in comparison, the internal and external design of this model is too old, the power performance is weak, it is really not advantageous. Now the overseas version of Nissan Navarre has been mid-term revamped, the power is equipped with a 2.3T diesel engine, if the diesel engine can be introduced, the car may still have a world war, and now the continuous swing is really not interesting.
