Nissan unveils Navara ‘Attack’ concept bakkie

Nissan has unveiled the Navara (Frontier, as it is known in South America) Attack concept at the Buenos Aires Auto Show.

.

Created by the Nissan Design Center in Rio de Janeiro, the concept draws inspiration from the unfriendly terrain of Latin America, and previews a potential production model.

Nissan did not have much to say about the bakkie, but it features a rugged appearance thanks to a bright skid plate, a roll bar, and massive Yokohama off-road tyres. The concept has also been equipped with tinted headlights, side steps and a luggage rack.

The unique styling continues in the cabin as designers installed cloth and leather seats with red contrast stitching and ‘Attack’ embroidery. Drivers will also find gloss black accents, red trim and a 6.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with GPS navigation.

.

Motivation is provided by a 2.3-litre diesel engine that produces 139kW and 450 Nm of torque. It is connected to a six-speed manual transmission that sends power to a four-wheel drive system.

Since the bakkie was designed to go off-road, it features Hill Start Assist and Hill Descent Control.

.

The concept also has a Vehicle Dynamic Control System, which electronically controls the vehicle’s traction, and prevents it from skidding, overturning or losing control.
