Underbody protection, all-terrain tyres, removable tow-hitch… Nissan SA a launched special edition version of its Navara bakkie tuned to take on the great outdoors - the Navara Safari.

Nissan expands its local Navara range with the addition of a special edition of its popular bakkie - the Navara Safari. The limited model has kit tailored for 4x4 enthusiasts.

Nissan worked closely with 4x4 expert Glyn Demmer for its latest model. Demmer said: “While the Nissan Navara in 4x4 guise remains a formidable off-road vehicle, we decided to specialise the Safari version and create a vehicle that is utterly suitable for overland trips.

“While the Navara Safari doesn’t lose any of its normal off-road capabilities, the addition of specialised extras just adds to its prowess as a long-distance ‘bundu basher’.”

‘LONG-DISTANCE BUNDU-BASHER’

The model, based on the Navara 2.5 dCi Double Cab 4x4 LE, is available with either a six-speed manual or five-speed auto. It rides on all-terrain tyres.

At the front you can spot a nudge bar which also serves at the mounting point for the standard spot lights. It has underbody protection plates and custom protective rock sliders. At the rear it has a rubberised load box with a tonneau cover and removable tow-hitch.

Inside, off-road enthusiasts will benefit from the protective seat covers (in cotton canvas) and Safari-branded carpets.

Nissan South Africa marketing product manager Marinus Venter said: “In creating the Navara Safari we wanted to ensure that specialised extras were fitted not only to add value but to make off-road excursions even easier for our more adventurous customers.”
