The macho truck look made popular by the Ford F-150 Raptor was
seen earlier on the Chevrolet Colorado High Country Storm, and is also employed
by the truck you see here – the Nissan Navara Black Edition.
Available on the King Cab Calibre 2.5 E 6MT, Double
Cab Calibre 2.5 E 6MT and Double Cab Calibre 2.5 EL 7AT, the Black Edition adds
on black projector head lamps, black fog lamp housing, a black grille, black
wing mirror caps, black side steps, black 18-inch wheels, a black rear bumper,
and black stickers on the roof and bonnet. No more chrome or silver, all in
black.
The all-important garnishing is done via a black
“dirt track” motif that covers a large portion of the Navara’s sides, with a “Black Edition”
sticker on the sides of the bed. Completing the rugged image are overfenders
with silver bolts. The King Cab Black Edition adds on cruise control.
The Black is powered by
Nissan’s YD25DDTi 2.5 litre turbodiesel with 163 hp and 403 Nm of torque. The
VGS engine is paired to either a six-speed manual or seven-speed automatic with
manual mode. Prices range from 786,000 baht to 918,000 baht, which is around 35,000 baht costlier than the regular
truck.
