Pull people and carry things correctly, and you can also run outdoors and test drive Nissan Navarra AT version.

Speaking of. This model of Navarra, a small partner who has a certain understanding of pickup trucks, is certainly no stranger. A mainstream joint venture pickup truck model is also an important option when purchasing pickup trucks. With the upgrading of national emission standards, Navarra has also introduced models that meet the national six emission standards, but unfortunately there are only manual transmission models. Not long ago, Navarra launched the 7AT version of six models, which can be regarded as a supplement to this deficiency. The protagonist of our test drive today is this 7AT version of Navarra.

Appearance: big guy with tough guy style

Look at the appearance first. Navarra's appearance is generally simple and rough. This style is also in line with the style of most pickup trucks on the market. Simple lines, domineering appearance and masculine atmosphere. This is one of the reasons why many consumers like pickups.

From the front of the car, Navarra began to show his own style. The wide air intake grille and thick chrome trim strips are connected to the LED lights on both sides, which is very hard-core off-road, but the details can still be seen in the "V-Motion" design language currently used by Nissan, which has more or less added some fashion elements. LED headlights, with automatic opening function, are in line with the current mainstream performance, which is also kind.

When you come to the side of the car body, you can intuitively feel that this is really a big guy. The length of the car is 5266 mm and the wheelbase is 3150 mm. If you put this size on the SUV, think about what effect it will have. This is the size of a medium and large SUV. The side of the car body has also maintained a simple and powerful style, and the roof rack is relatively thick and does not need to be replaced later, which increases the loading capacity of the whole car. In terms of details, chrome-plated rearview mirrors, cameras with 360 panoramic images, and welcome pedals running through the front and rear doors increase the convenience of getting on and off.

The model I test drive model is equipped with 18-inch V-shaped multi-spoke wheels, which are quite novel in style and match the OPEN of Toyo. Country series tires, tire size, 255/60? R 18, which can reach the flatness ratio of 60, can also be seen that this car has some considerations for unpaved roads.

The tail shape is also relatively simple, and the whole is relatively square. The small tail on the container adds a touch of exquisiteness, and the taillights arranged vertically look simple and clear. The rear pedal with anti-slip design, the details are in place, and the high-position brake light is also a new configuration of this AT model.

For pickup trucks, containers are absolutely the most important. The main loading capacity of pickup trucks is completed by containers. The container size of Navarra is1510 mm *1562 mm * 475 mm, which is close to a square. The overall shape is quite regular and there is no unnecessary space occupation. There is also a painted container treasure in the container, which enhances the daily wear and scratch resistance.

Interior: carry simplicity to the end

When I got to the car, Navarra's interior style didn't have so many colors and complicated designs, just two words-simplicity, which is also simple, and everything is very practical. The center console is covered by a large number of black plastic parts, and the central control part is decorated with baking paint and silver plaques, which makes the whole interior style look less monotonous.

The grip of the three-spoke steering wheel is thin. For such a big guy, is the stronger grip of the steering wheel more in line with its style? The functional layout of the steering wheel is a bit simple, only the buttons for adjusting the instrument are integrated on the left hand side. For users who are used to having multi-function buttons on the left and right sides of the steering wheel, this layout is obviously a bit too simple, even if several multimedia adjustment buttons are added on the right side.

In the instrument part, there are traditional pointer instruments on the left and right sides, and a color display screen in the middle. Although this layout is not novel, the practical functionality can still be guaranteed, and functions such as oil quantity, water temperature and fuel consumption are also indispensable.

The central control part is equipped with a 9-inch LCD screen, loaded with popular car software such as high-tech navigation and cool dog music, which can meet the needs of navigation and entertainment, and integrates 360 panoramic image function, which is also the configuration of this AT model upgrade. Convenient configuration, Navarra is equipped with dual-zone automatic air conditioning, four-door electric window (the main driver supports one-button lifting), double airbags, automatic dazzling rearview mirror, one-button start and so on. , meet the basic use without any problems.

Space: pulling people and moving things, with a wide range of uses.

In the space part, I have to mention Nissan's seats. We often talk about Nissan's big sofa, and this car is no exception. Nissan officially calls the front seat a space-class zero-gravity health seat, which is a relatively large and soft type after sitting on it. Of course, it's a little harder than Tianzhu and other models, and the ride comfort is still satisfactory. The main driver is also equipped with an electric adjustable seat, which improves the convenience of daily use. The cushion length and height of the rear seat are smaller than those of the front seat, and the rear backrest is also relatively straight. Generally speaking, the back seat is not as comfortable as the front seat.

In terms of seating space, my height is 178cm, my seat is adjusted to the lowest, and there is room for a punch in my head. This space can be regarded as relatively spacious. Coming to the back row, the front row is my driving position, with four fingers in the leg space and three fingers in the head space. This performance is good and can meet the needs of most people.

Driving: the bad road is the way to go.

The automatic version of Navarra is equipped with QR25' s 2.5L naturally aspirated engine, with maximum power 142kW and maximum torque of 245 Nm, matching the 7-speed automatic gearbox. Self-priming +AT is definitely synonymous with smoothness and peace of mind. Of course, you can't expect this car to have much power. In daily driving, you have to be more Buddhist, overtake at high speed or climb a hill. You have to be willing to supply oil and ensure torque output with high speed. Once the speed is pulled up, it will provide you with sufficient power. This is also the characteristic of self-priming engine +AT, which is actually quite suitable for a pickup truck.

For suspension, Navarra adopts the combination of front double wishbone independent suspension and rear integral leaf spring suspension. When the vehicle passes through the potholes, the vehicle will bounce unnecessarily, and the steering wheel will feel accordingly. There is a trick to share with you, that is, adding some counterweight to the container can reduce the bounce and improve the driving quality.

Navarra's steering strength is in a medium state, and the hand feeling is not particularly heavy, but it is not light. There is obvious vacancy in the steering wheel, which is also the characteristic of many off-road vehicles. It may not be so accurate when paving the road, but you will love this feeling on off-road sections.

After reading the above, you may think that Navarra's dynamic performance is very general, but it is not. The hard way is the way it should go. The suspension of the whole bridge with leaf springs, the optional four-wheel drive system in three modes of high-speed two-wheel drive, high-speed four-wheel drive and low-speed four-wheel drive, the approach angle and departure angles of 32 and 25, and the minimum ground clearance of 2 14mm are all comparable to those of hard-core off-road SUVs.

There were some unpaved roads in our test drive. For this Navarra, it's simple. If the low-speed four-wheel drive mode is started, it is not a problem to deal with 90% unpaved roads. At that time, the shortcomings of Navarra you felt on the paved road may become its advantages, and you may really fall in love with it.

Ok, this AT version of Navarra is introduced here. Earlier, Picado appeared in front of us as a tool car, which often appeared in scenes such as road rescue and power emergency repair. With the development of the times, pickup truck is no longer limited to the image of the previous tool car, but also represents the attitude and lifestyle of some people. Many cross-country enthusiasts also choose pickup trucks and Navarra as their loyal partners. One last question. With a budget of about 200,000 yuan, will you buy a Navarra as your partner to go sightseeing?
