Updated Pathfinder & Navara

A comprehensively refreshed Pathfinder and Navara will also be on display to the public. Its 2.5 dCI engine has been significantly updated, and the overall result is an increase in both power and torque and a reduction in emissions and consumption. Power rises to 140 kW (190 PS) - up 14kW (19 PS) - while torque increases by a healthy 47 Nm to 450 Nm. Over the combined cycle manual versions use 8.4 l/100kms - an improvement of 1.4 l/100kms - while CO2 emissions have fallen by 40g/km to 224 g/km. Both figures are class competitive. A version of the engine with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) is also available in certain markets.

Geneva Motor Show represents also the introduction of a new 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine. Power output is 175 kW (238PS) while the torque output of 550 Nm leads the class.

Further updates have been made to the interior to improve quality, comfort and refinement. Customer deliveries begin in March.
