Edaran Tan Chong Motor has introduced a 4x2 variant of the Nissan Navara pickup truck, and this one is called the Calibre 4X2 Automatic.

The Calibre 4X2 is equipped with a YD25DDTi 2.5l commonrail direct-injection turbodiesel pot as found on the Navara 4x4 variants, though the version here is a medium output unit - power is trimmed to 142bhp as opposed to the 172bhp found in the high-output block, both at a similar 4,000rpm; likewise the torque, with 356Nm on call at 2,000rpm (compared to the HO unit's 403Nm). Transmission is a five-speed auto.

The Calibre gets most of the features found in the Navara range, though it does omit airbags from the list (as does the 4x4 manual version of the vehicle) and also out is the passenger side A-pillar assist grip, though that's hardly likely to be noticed. Elsewhere, it's business as usual.

The Thai-made Navara Calibre 4X2 is available in a special Desert Gold shade alongside Supreme Black, Tungsten Silver and Twilight Gray. It's priced at RM89,900, on the road inclusive of insurance, and comes with a 3-year or 100,000km warranty.
