2015 Nissan NavaraNew model range won't be sold alongside the old model - CarAdvice
In recent years there have been two separate Nissan Navara model lines alongside each other in Australia. The D22 Nissan Navara was the more basic, price-leading work truck – it originally went on sale here way back in 1997 – while the D40 was the better equipped and more capable recreational vehicle for buyers who needed a flexible work vehicle. That model originally went on sale here in 2005. Nissan Australia managing director and CEO, Richard Emery, confirmed the demise of the entry level D22 Navara and its D40 sibling at the recent local launch of the new 2015 Navara range. Emery told CarAdvice that Nissan effectively shut down production of both old Navara variants at the same time, ensuring availability of the base model dried up along with the model that is being replaced by the new version, which the brand is... “The production facility in Thailand is a completely new factory which was built specifically for this new NP300 Navara,” Emery said. Emery went on to explain that the lack of a cheaper, D22-style variant influenced the thinking behind offering so many variants of the new model – 27 in total. Moving to 27 variants of this new model, probably ten of those variants are. Source: www.caradvice.com.au
