MOTORING NEWS - Nissan has unveiled the Navara Attack concept at the recent Buenos Aires Auto Show.
Created by the Nissan Design Centre in Rio de Janeiro, the concept draws inspiration from the unfriendly terrain of Latin America and previews a potential production model.
Nissan's bakkie features a rugged appearance thanks to a bright skid plate, roll bar and massive Yokohama off-road tyres. The concept has also been equipped with tinted headlights, side steps and a luggage rack.
The rugged styling continues in the cabin as designers installed cloth and leather seats with red contrast stitching and 'Attack' embroidery. To add touches of sophistication, there are gloss black accents, red trim and a 6,2" touch screen infotainment system with GPS navigation.
The powertrain is a 2,3-litre diesel engine that produces 139kW and 450Nm of torque. It is connected to a six-speed manual transmission that sends power to a four-wheel drive system.
Since the vehicle is designed to go off-road, it features hill start assist and hill descent control for the driver's benefit. 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.
The interior has red touches for a touch of refinement.
The red trim detail seems just the right amount, judging by the photos.
