The reliable off-roader comes back with an upgraded body and a roomier interior, ready to compete with Toyota Land Cruiser. Nissan’s 50-something-year-old biggest SUV is powered by a 5.6-litre V8 engine with VVEL (variable valve event and lift) and DIG (direct injection gasoline), which generate 400hp and 550Nm of torque.
The four-wheel independent suspension, hydraulic brakes, hill start assist or hill descent control make it almost unbreakable, status which was confirmed by the many tests it has been put to. It’s been driven through desert, on rocky surfaces, highways and inner-city traffic. “By the time we came around to adding the new body and interior, we had virtually completed our reliability and durability testing and perfected all of the new technologies”, says chief vehicle engineer, Takashi Fukui. It has been upgraded both to the exterior and to the interior, by offering more space for the second row passengers, generous amounts of leather and high quality materials.
