Nissan has extended its D40 Navara range with the introduction of eight RX badged models to cater to tradesmen, and the agricultural and forestry sectors.
The Navara RX is available as a King Cab chassis/cab, allowing buyers to personalise the rear of the ute to their needs, as well as a King Cab wellside and Double Cab.
The Navara RX models have gone on sale from $46,490 for the 4WD King Cab chassis/cab. All variants come with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 5-speed automatic. The 4WD models get 126 kW and 403 Nm.
And while the RX is easy to keep clean with its vinyl floor covering and heavy duty upholstery, it has not totally scrimped on features. There is air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, keyless entry and a four speaker sound system.
There is a rear limited slip differential, ABS brakes, and an electronic stability programme.
The RX models can be distinguished by their steel wheels – all other Navara D40s have alloys - no rear bumper and manually operated door mirrors. Towing capacity is 3,000kg braked.
Nissan is still retaining its core D22 Navara ute for those buyers wanting a physically smaller vehicle. The D22 is available as either a single cab chassis or double cab with a choice of 2WD and 4WD – all with a manual gearbox - ranging from $30,200 to $44,500.
