New 2021 Nissan Navara nearly doubles sales for May 2021, exceeds pre-pandemic levels 01

Launched in mid-April 2021, the new D23 2021 Nissan Navara has given Edaran Tan Chong Motor some much needed boost in Malaysia.

In its first full-month sales in May 2021, the facelifted Navara has nearly doubled its monthly sales, from 235 units recorded in April 2021 to 415 units in May 2021.

The figure exceeds the Navara’s pre-pandemic sales performance, which was averaging less than 350 units per month in 2019.

Nissan Navara 415
Ford Ranger 324

Year-to-date, the new Nissan Navara’s sales for 2021 totaled 937 units, but the low figure is also because most Nissan dealers had already sold out their stocks of the pre-facelift Navara in January 2021.

June 2021’s sales however, will definitely see a big drop given the ongoing MCO 3.0 so it’s difficult to conclude if strong demand for the new Nissan Navara can be sustained in the latter months.

Mitsubishi Triton 3,296

The new Nissan Navara now has a range topping Navara Pro-4X variant, identifiable by its black grille and 17-inch black alloy wheels.

Safety features have also been improved, now featuring ADAS. Six airbags, 360-degree camera, Forward Collision Warning (FCW) and Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) are standard for V variants and above, while VL and Pro-4X variants add Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Assist, and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert.

Mechanically, there's a new steering rack, which is now sharper than before (12 degrees less turns), improved rear coil spring suspension which reduces 'body toss' by 33 percent.
