2008 Nissan Navara D22 range
1 Feb, 2008
64 Comments 
Nissan will today unveil the new Navara D22 range, which will include both dual-cab and single-cab variants, at the Brisbane International Motor Show (check back for pictures from the show through out the day).
The line-up receives Nissan’s new 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine coupled to a five-speed manual transmission. There will be a choice of four-wheel drive dual cab and single cab models, as well as a two-wheel drive single cab for those not in need of off-road capability.
You might be thinking, well that doesn’t look that new! And you’re right, the only exterior change is the addition of a bonnet scoop for the new intercooled turbo-diesel engine.
The intercooled YD25 turbo-diesel engine produces 98kW at 3600rpm and 304Nm of torque from 2000rpm - this is down from the previous generation’s 3.0-litre diesel that managed 110kW and 314Nm, although that was noticeably thirstier. In comparison the Navara D40’s powerplant makes 126kW and 401Nm.
The new diesel engine is a 16-valve, double overhead cam with second-generation common rail technology for lower emissions and improved fuel economy. Nissan has also installed a variable nozzle turbocharger as well as a brand new balancer system for better refinement.
The added intercooler sits ahead of the radiator, allowing for better air intake and hence more power at lower range. The compression ratio is now 16.5 to 1.
As with the majority of the latest Diesel engines on offer from the Japanese, the D22’s fuel economy is impressive. The 4×2 single cab drinks only 7.3L/100km, while the 4×4 single cab makes do with 9.1L/100km and the 4×4 dual cab ST-R comes in at 9.2L/100km.
Suspension is taken care of by double-wishbone and an anti-roll bar at the front, with the back-end riding on a solid rear axle with leaf springs and a limited slip differential. Towing capacity is 1500kg (braked) for the 4×2 and 2800kg (braked) for the 4×4.
The single 4×2 variant gets the basic essentials, with power steering, single in-dash CD player, air conditioning, dual front airbags and ABS as standard. Moving up, the 4×4 line-up starts with a base single cab DX from $30,690. An additional $500 will get you dual front airbags and front seatbelt pretensioners (highly recommended).
Going up to the dual cab ST-R variant, buyers will receive, in addition to the single cab equipment, standard dual front airbags with ABS, an alloy sports bar, side steps, front bucket seats and 16-inch alloy wheels.
- 4×2 single cab DX - $22,490
- 4×4 single cab DX - $30,690
- ST-R dual cab 4×4 - $38,490.

$38,000 versus $50,000 for essentially the same thing.
Car makers just can’t help themselves, though - why detune the 2.5 by a bee’s d!ck for the different model????? Hopefully the detuning gives the 2.5 a broader torque range, albeit a little less. The D40 is peaky and the manual with a load needs endless gear changing to keep it in its narrow power band.
Good move Nissan, I think they will sell like hotcakes to those who have not yet experienced Nissan’s abysmal after sales and warranty attitude….

The real reason nissan “re-introduced” the D22 was that they lost about 1000 sales per month when they cut it from their line up. The old ST-R was good value at well under $40k onroad when it was in runout mode.
Perhaps if their pricing on the D40 was closer to the D22 they wouldn’t have suffered such a drop in sales. That and where are the D40 single and king cabs?
I’ve just returned from the US and there are heaps of them on the road. Poor effort from Nissan Australia!!!
I’m sure the “new” D22 will sell in good numbers if only by virtue of its price. Its still a better truck than those P.O.S. rodeos. Holden has really dropped the ball with these lately.

Single and kingcab versions of the D40 arrive later this year - mid-year I read somewhere. Once they get here, the Navara range will be huge. Will be interesting to see whether Navara can manage to outsell Hilux more consistently now or once more D40 variants arrive.

LOL
throwing in the D40’s motor (proberly from the lower powered 2wd version) and detuning it really sucks.
who is going to buy a gutless ute thats worse than the old one when there is plenty of other makes with better ones, especially in the single cab market place.
comon nissan just throw the ZD30 CRD motor into it ! !
(BTW- why does the pics show top mounted intercooler and the text say its now has front mount intercooler ??)

Isnt it about time Nissan woke up and offered Australians the same standards as they do overseas. The D22 was a great truck but is now old news. Why doesnt Nissan offer the models of the D40 that are available elsewhere. Why does Nissan insist on dumbing down our vehicles compared to others.
Although its a sad day when its cheaper to buy parts from an American Nissan dealer and even with shipping they are way cheaper than buying direct from an Australian Dealership.

Hi from Greece!!!
I dint knew that nissan still ofered the D22 as a “new” model…
i own one with the 2.5 diesel engine (at europe we didnt get the 3.0 engine) and i will hapilly get the VGT turbo…
Notice that the power loss bitween the D40 engine and the D22 engine is because the d40 uses a Direct Injection system (Di on the back), while the D22 uses a comon rail system.Thats totally diferent.
But i have noticed that the bore x stroke on the D22 and D40 are identicall, so the block might be the same.This maybe does quite easy to fit a D40 engine on a D22…
Nice project, hehehehehe!!!!
Does anyone knows the code name of the rear diff on the D40
P.S. sorry for my bad english

What a joke, if this works I will be surprised. Yeah they were an ok ute but man that d22 has basically been around since the mid eighties. A friend of mine has a diesel d40 and it sucks the fuel worse than a petrol RA rodeo. He has been back to Nissan and they say tough luck thats as good as it gets.

The re-introduction of this isn’t too hard to understand. It was selling well before its forced withdrawal from sale last year, its towing capacity is only bettered by the larger D40 Navara and Triton, it’s cheap, it’s reputation as a workhorse is solid and it still looks better than most utes on the market. And Nissan are offering buyers choice, which is a good thing.

In response to NAVARAMAN’s comments about injection differnces between the d22 and d40..
To clarify!
The D22 & D40 are both direct injected commonrail diesels! (computer managed high pressure diesel gets sprayed in over top of the piston) the alternate would be indirect injection (ie. no computer, straight from a mechanical pump spraying the diesel in a side chamber).
The only differnce I can see between the two motors would be a lower boost pressure from the turbo resulting in a lower power output.
A possitive to this boost reduction would be increased engine and turbo life; given that many TD 4×4’s are shitting their turbos early in their life costing many thousands. Is it a bad thing having a loss of a few KW’s for the sake of longagivity?
Who can complain about $32990 brand new to ABN holders for the d22 (abn’s are free too)
The closest costing ute is several thousand dollars more than this one and to be honest I can’t see where the extra money goes? I’d be buying a d22 and getting a few extras with the left over.
On another note
Off road the d40 is much wider and harder to manoover in tight trees. The front suspension on both the new hilux and the d40 need upgrading if you expect to do some serious bush work! They are far too low and bottom out.
If you dissagree please comment; we all might learn something.

I’m seriously thinkin about a new D22, some of the 2nd hand ones goin around a more expensive sometimes by the thousands??? I’ve told one dealer who had an 04 model for 35K “I’ll have to buy new i cant afford your 4 year old one with 100k on it” My only gripe with the D22 is no keyless entry and 2 speaker stereo, so 1980’s, i’m sure prospective buyers would have lashed out $200 bucks to fix the problem.. come on Mr Nissan, mayb in ‘09 heh
(Report)
April 11th, 2008 at 6:20 pm
I’m serious about a new D22, who can afford a 2nd hand one , there still asking mid 30K !!. Why Why Mr Nissan didn’t you at least give us keyless entry and an extra two speakers for the stereo. It won’t stop me buying, so i guess you still win. Detuning the D22 is understandable, just so you won’t cannibalise the D40. The D40 is nicer but i wish to use the other diff regularly and to take a near 50K ute to the Cape is near insane, on my wage.

Has anyone towed anything approaching the braked tow limit with a new or old D22. Interested to see how they perform and how much difference between D22 & D40.
(Report)
April 12th, 2008 at 11:29 pm
Chris, yes some dealers asking prices can be a little optomistic, but 30K should buy an 04/05 with 50 to 70 on the clock. Resale also depends on the accessories fitted. Its not hard to spend 6K on a Bullbar, canopy, towbar and driving lights alone. Also the “old” 3.0 turbo diesel has more power(110kW) than the new D22 2.5 (96kW?) So performance is now less than before. Partly why nissan repriced this model down to 32999 +orc. Previously was closer to 40K.
(Report)
April 14th, 2008 at 7:28 am
Is there a noticeable power and more importantly torque difference? I’ve driven both (unladen) and i’d couldn’t pick the performance winner. The ABN price used to be 34K for the old D22 and for most of that time you got a free bullbar and towbar. If it wasn’t that it was a $1000 free fuel and a hard cover. If you payed the near 40K it just meant you were too lazy to get a free ABN. This would explain the 2nd hand owners which are asking higher than new prices, and yes some of them have no accessories! The new model does give out ABS std and a different stereo, no performance gain there either! We are led to beleive the new model is more frugal, which is a plus, unless of course your heavily into oil shares!
(Report)
April 15th, 2008 at 1:33 pm
From my recollection the old ABN price was 33990 retail and you got a free bullbar and towbar or the other promo was a free hardcover and $1000 free fuel so i don’t beleive Nissan is bending over backwards to the tune of $7000 to help prospective buyers.
Its a bit embarrassing when you drive away in your new D22 and someone mistakes it for an ‘03 model!! I know Toyota is guilty of running vehicles for 10 years before giving them a full make over so i’m not going to harp on about it. On a positive note its probably the most offroad capable dual cab straight out of the box and the cheapest. I wouldn’t have minded just a minor face lift, new headlights and grill to give me that new car feeling.
(Report)
April 16th, 2008 at 5:16 pm
James,
I agree you can’t compare the current ABN price with the old retail price, I would like to see a comparison test where both old and new engines are tested side by side, or perhaps a three way with the D40. What are the benefits of the new commonrail in the D22? If you have a break down in the bush are the mechanics going to be scratching their heads for a few years saying “if it was the 3 litre engine i could fix it “. And is the intercooler and bonnet scoop setup now a problem for water/dust even with a snorkel fitted?
Maybe just like Holden and Ford, Nissan have started with an optimised engine then detuned it, with planned engine performance lifts as model upgrades are released, its a conspiracy!
(Report)
April 16th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Dlr 1,
I’ll gladly give you my bullbar, canopy, towbar and driving lights for $6000. Once again you would get change out of $4000 for buying that stuff new and fitted to a second hand navara with 50 - 70k there worth a lot less. Toyota charge $2200 for air con as an option and you definetly don’t get an extra $2200 when you sell now do you?
Personally i bemused at people who buy 2nd hand 4wd’s that are within 10 - 20 % of new prices. Surely new tyres, zero km’s, resale and not to mention warranty are worth the extra dollars
(Report)
April 16th, 2008 at 5:58 pm
Dave,
you are correct, you dont get 2200 back for the air, you only get $2000! I think what a few people dont realise is that the 32999 or any of the previous prices are all excluding ORC and Dealer delivery. You add about 3000 to 3500 to any of those prices. And in 2004 a new ST-R diesel was 42999 + orc.
And my point about the accessories is you need to compare apples with apples. If anybody is comparing a second hand one with those accessories to a new one , get a cost on the new truck fitted with the same gear. (For a top brand alloy bar, canopy, HD towbar and quality lights it can cost close to 6K. And yes i know there are cheaper options) Im not saying it will add the same value to a used truck, but it does make a difference to resale.
In the end if you want a new navara buy one, if you want the 3.0 litre turbo buy that. Just dont think that they are identical.

(Report)
April 30th, 2008 at 8:23 am
The reason for the reduction in power is to meet emission standards, The D22 is the previous D22 body but with new generation Common rail diesel. The Nissan D22 is the best value for money on the market and it makes sense to have a different priced model as not every buyer wants a $50,000 truck, The D22 will do very well on the market because of the price, quality and it’s a Nissan!!! The King cab D40 is on it’s way from Thailand and there is no plans for a single cab D40 as yet . . . . . . remember you cant keep everyone happy!!!!!!!

The dealer quoted me on a new one being a driveaway ABN price of 37 grand incl soft tonneau, liner and towbar. I’m sure i could have haggled a better deal on a new one, Dlr1 ?

I own the 3.0ltr D22 2006 mdl. 32ks.
The salesman was quick to point out that it has class leading tow capacity, 2800kgs. Wow l say, that is until l actually hooked it up to a trailer. My equipment that l tow ranges from 1900kgs, 2100kgs, and 2800kgs. Tell me Mr Nissan, have any of your salesmen actually towed a trailer in excess of 2ton? I would be interested to know what they think when taking off up hill. Even just a slope requires low range to get it moving, that is unless you like the smell of clutch. I know that braking is what gives the tow rating, but surely you have to get the thing moving first! This engine needs way more torque from much lower in the rev range, 2000 rpm is to high. Any suggestions?
(Report)
May 16th, 2008 at 6:16 pm
I have to agree with Bluey , when I first drove my 2006 3.0 LT DieselD22 with a loaded tandem trailer on the back I nearly had an accident at a T intersection as it stalled in high range.Even now i’m very aware of the fact that you need to ride the clutch when starting off towing up hill in 1st. I had hoped the 2008 D 22 with the new 2.5 engine would fix this problem but my local Nissan dealer(who was’t very happy about the detuned engine )not to trade up to the new model as it had less power.He also said to wait as most of the dealers wanted the D22 to have the same power as the D40 and there might be a chance it will be released with the standard tuned 2.5 diesel, has anyone else been told about this??????

The RX comes with alloys, dual airbags, ABS as standard unlike the dual cab. Was told STX Cab Chassis would be arriving mid July and comes with keyless entry, power windows and electric mirrors, 6 stack CD and 6 speaker sound, cruise control, no side steps like dual cab and will be around another 4 to 5 grand more than RX. STX with well body not available till the end of the year. Nothing on paper yet but that was what I was told. Find out more next week.

I have a 2006 STR Navara and could be happier. My Navara is up to 85,000km\’s and I will be getting another D22 when the time come\’s.
As for towing with the ZD30DDT motor. Gotta agree standard they do struggle. Best thing you can do is get an exhaust system straight from the turbo back. The factory dump pipe is that restrictive its not funny. Mine starts coming on boost now at 1250rpm.
Anyways they are a awesome truck and I will be getting another when the time comes.

Ive just bought a new STR 2.5, and its a great truck. Cheap too, i got mine drive away with. b/bar, towbar, snorkel, liner, soft tonneau & keyless entry for $36800. not much more than what you pay for a 05/06 with 60k on it. there is no noticeable difference between the power range when you drive the 2.5 to the 3.0Lt. they go great on/off road, sit quite comfortably on 110/120k on highway. I got keyless entry added for $300. so stop whinging it doesnt have it… just option it. they are way cheaper than rangers, much better on fuel… and dont have the problems. though rangers do haul ass and you get auto hubs etc.
if people cant tell that you have a new model even with the big scoop, then who cares!
i worked for nissan for 2years, and the 3Ltrs were not the greatest motors! up til 04/2004 they had regular problems with the pistons burning out when people drove for too long a period of time at speed, because the boost levels would sit to high for too long a period. Nissan rectified this by changing the pistons in 04/2004.

Have only done 1000km in it so far but think the fuel economy is going to be great (compared to my xr8 ute anyway!) could not find a cheaper one second hand and the dealer could not even give me a better deal on a 3 litre demo! Highly recommended vehicles.

hi guys
hmm glad I found this site but am more confused now! If I can only afford to buy second hand up to $19 000 what navara do you recommend given the following:
I need a 4×4 (have acreage) and need to be able to tow a horse float and 2 neds, so they weigh say 900-1000kg for both and a float is at a guess….700-900kg?? thats 1900kg.
I am wondering am I better to buy a turbo model as opposed to a non turbo… 3.0l diesel??
the tragic thing is my work ute is a new ford ranger that is fantastic, so I guess whatever i get I will whinge!! but so is the price tag!
hmm also dave didn’t post a reply to bluey about what size exhaust was needed??(GRIN)
cheers in advance

hey city slicker thanks for that..
interesting you said that, I feel a bit better now as I am looking at a friends, which is always hard as you know them…..its a d22 2003 model st-r dx i think it said??? is october made, so after the piston issue….and it is a turbo 3.0L di, has 118,000 on the clock, canopy, they want $18 000 I have test driven it empty and I am happy with it, typically sounds like a diesel and you have to get the turbo cranking as opposed to cruising like grandma with it gurgling………goes smoothly… not tried it with a load but they say it drives better with a load of wood on! which I think it would,
Does anyone know if I put a snorkel on will that help save a bit more fuel or improve any performance??is it worth putting one on?
Also and I guess more importantly is their anything particular I should get a mechanic to check out before I buy it?

Marco - hey buddy, found a new supplier for the chips, i sell for $800 (heaps cheaper than the DP chip equivelent) that do the common rail. It saves 10% fuel and power increase for the 2.5lt is 98kw-115kw & 304 - 360nm. And it plugs straight in with no modification to ECu etc. Will be putting one on my rig when i get some coin
Scott - Get an ABN if you dont already have one, just go on the web it takes 10mins. it saves you heaps. I got mine from a guy i know in the “trade” from Village nissan in petrie brisbane. but i got quoted very similiar price from another dealer that i deal with. Just play your cards close, and they should look after you.

I obviously expect too much from my navarra, l think it tows bloody aweful, even after fitting a dp chip. It simply will not pull off the line in high range. Back 2 gears on hills, it doesn’t come near my old 96mdl 4.2 turbo landcruiser. I invite anyone (especially from nissan) to come out for a drive with me with my trailer on. 2.8 ton tow capacity l think not.
Bluey.

Just bought an st-r 08 for $33400 on road. once i get my gst back it would have only cost just over 30k. i think its bloody good value considering i was going to buy an 05 with 75000kms on it for $27000 plus $1400 stampduty. spent an extra $2000 and got a brand spankin new one.

Dominique,
it actually is that simple.
you only have to flash your ABN number at the dealer and you get a discount.
its not a made up discount either because the dealer gets a kick bnack from the manufacturer to cover the discount.
no way will a non ABN person be able to get the same discount that an ABN holder can obtain.
when they say discounts for ABN holders, its not a gimmock.
and Yes,
any one can go onto the internet and with a few simple steps get themselves an ABN.
the ABN doesnt have to be registered for GST either.
if you feel guilty after getting the ABN and not putting cash flow to its name, then simply cancel it after the vehicle purchase.
the dealer ABN discount is no way related nor transmitted on anything that is passed to the ATO.
the discount is nothing to do with the way you register the vehicle. it can still be registered as a private vehicle, and it doesnt have to be depreciated/offset against a business
if for some odd reason they do query you (dont worry they wont), just say you were going to set up a lawn mowing business or something, but found it too hard to get started
