The all-new Nissan Navara Pro pickup truck is set to arrive soon in Bahrain, bringing innovation and everyday practicality, combined with a 90-year legacy of durability, comfort and quality.
YK Almoayyed & Sons, the sole distributor of Nissan in Bahrain, revealed the news as the marque takes another step in its global growth strategy, with the international roll-out of the new generation of pickup performance.
“Navara Pro draws on Nissan’s global expertise and strategic partnerships to deliver a new generation pickup for customers around the world, including in Bahrain,” YK Almoayyed & Sons said, in a statement.
The new Navara Pro furthers Nissan’s vision of ‘Mobility Intelligence for Everyday Life’, reflecting its spirit of challenging conventions, combining innovative thinking, advanced technology and real-world capability.
The Navara Pro’s powertrains have been tailored to the needs of the region and its release in Bahrain is part of the model’s Middle East rollout, highlighting China’s growing role as an innovation and export hub for Nissan.
Designed, developed and manufactured by Zhengzhou Nissan Automobile Co - Nissan’s joint venture in China, Navara Pro is the first Nissan model developed and produced in China for global export, built to the Japanese company’s production standards.
As one of Nissan’s top markets, China is a key centre for product innovation, engineering and manufacturing excellence. Nissan is leveraging the strengths it has built in China to develop competitive vehicles for local customers and bring those capabilities to customers around the world.
The new generation of Nissan pickup trucks are designed for work, family and everyday life, combining a rugged, durable design with a spacious, refined five-seat interior, intuitive technology and everyday comfort, adding refinement and versatility.
Customers in the Middle East will have a choice of gasoline or diesel models.
The 2.0-litre turbocharged gasoline engine produces 244hp and 400Nm of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Meanwhile, the 2.3-litre turbocharged diesel engine produces 141hp and 400Nm of torque and is available with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission.
“For business partners and fleet customers in Bahrain, this range offers a combination of dependability and capability,” the YK Almoayyed & Sons spokesman added.
“With both gasoline and diesel options, and a choice of transmissions on the diesel, customers can select the setup that best suits how their vehicles are used day to day.”
Since introducing the Type 13 truck in 1934, Nissan has sold more than 15 million pickups in more than 140 markets, building more than 90 years of experience in pickup quality, reliability and capability.
