Navara D40 (2004–15)

The big Navara: the D40 of 2004, a mid-size pick-up on a fully boxed ladder frame with the 2.5 dCi and the 4.0-litre VQ40 V6, built in Spain for Europe and in Thailand and North America as the Frontier; the first Navara sold as a lifestyle vehicle as much as a working truck.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
