The 2021 Nissan Navara in the Malaysian market is primarily powered by the YD25DDTi 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. This engine features common rail direct injection technology and a Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT), delivering 190 horsepower and a maximum torque of 450 Nm. Paired with either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic transmission, it strikes a balance between strong performance and fuel efficiency, making it particularly well-suited for Malaysia's varied terrain and load-carrying needs.
This engine has been proven in the Navara lineup over the years, earning favor among both commercial and private users for its reliability and high low-end torque. Notably, the Navara also comes with a part-time 4WD system (available on select models), enhancing its off-road capabilities. The engine's tuning also prioritizes low noise and vibration levels, improving driving comfort.
For Malaysian consumers, the Navara's diesel engine not only offers relatively low maintenance costs but also boasts durability that meets the demands of long-term use in the local hot and humid climate. Additionally, it meets the ASEAN NCAP 5-star safety rating, making it a pickup truck with well-rounded overall performance.
