Nissan NP200 ICE
The Nissan NP200 has been around for quite some
time, although it recently benefitted from an update for 2016. To
bring it back to the forefront of local buyers’ minds, Nissan has created a
special edition derivative dubbed the NP200 ICE.
The locally built limited edition model can be had
in silver or blue paint, and comes complete with aluminium fittings (including
a nudge-bar), an aluminium sports-bar, dark-tinted windows and special 15-inch
alloy wheels. Decals are also part of the package.
Daytime running lights are also unique to the NP200
ICE, as Nissan says they are currently not available on any other variant in
the range. The loading bay, meanwhile, gains a rubberised finish to make it
more durable, and Nissan has thrown in a tonneau cover.
The interior gains leather upholstery and
“easy-to-clean” rubber mats, as well as an updated Bluetooth audio system.
Safety is provided by two airbags and ABS. A service plan is an
optional extra.
There are two familiar engine options, one petrol
and one diesel. The petrol engine is a naturally aspirated 1,6-litre engine
which delivers 87 Hp and 128 Nm of torque. The turbocharged 1,5-litre diesel
engine, meanwhile, produces 85 Hp and 200 Nm of torque.
