The vehicle comes with new 160 and 190bhp 2.3-litre dCi engines, delivering new levels of fuel economy and lower emissions, as well as a five-year or 100,000 mile manufacturer warranty.
Nissan says the top end version introduces twin turbocharging to the pick-up sector and delivers "exceptionally low running costs and substantially reduced CO2 emissions".
It also offers the choice of two or four-wheel drive and the option of a standard six-speed manual or a seven-speed automatic gearbox.
Beyond that, Nissan says the new vehicle keeps the Navara's off-road ability, durability and loading capacity, but with a new, robust chassis aimed at improving drivability and practicality.
Additionally, Nissan claims further first-in-class technologies for the pick-up market – including 'around view monitor' and forward emergency braking, both of which are big in Crossover safety.
Further safety features include cruise control, hill descent control and hill start assist, The vehicle also features keyless entry, rear-view camera and parking sensors.
As for ride and handling, Nissan has designed a new five-link rear suspension system for the double cab model, providing "significantly improved" comfort and a weight reduction of 20kg against the previous layout.
Meanwhile, the king cab carries an updated version of the leaf spring design fitted to the previous generation model, which not delivers a 7kg weight reduction but also a 3.1% improvement in rear wheel approach angle.
As for payload and towing, the new NP300 Navara offers load ratings in excess of one tonne across the range (with Nissan's C-channel load system) and a towing capacity of 3,500kg.
