Nissan Navara Stealth makes a comeback - can it steal the thunder from Isuzu's X-Rider?
The Nissan Navara Stealth is making a comeback after six years. Previously a special edition of the pre-facelifted imported Navara range, the new Stealth will now be a permanent fixture in the locally-built line-up. But where does it fit in? Priced at R695,200 in 4x2 form and R779,200 in 4x4 guise, it slots between the mid-spec Navara LE and the range-topping Pro2X and Pro4X models. Packed with sporty trimmings, it commands a premium of R35,000 over the LE, but in 4x2 guise it costs a cool R88,000 less than the Pro2X. It costs just R22,000 more than Isuzu's 1.9-litre (110kW) D-Max X-Rider models, and on the surface appears to offer a similar formula. However, the Nissan offers more power, with the 140kW and 450Nm 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine being standard in the Stealth, paired with a seven-speed automatic gearbox. But enough nuts and bolts, let's take a look at what seats the new Navara Stealth apart. Essentially it swaps the LE model's chrome trim for matte and gloss black accents.
