Nissan Navara NV400 2010-2021 - Premium Head Unit Upgrade Kit: Radio Infotainment System with Wired & Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Compatibility

The Nissan Navara stands prominently among global utility vehicles, acclaimed internationally for its strength, practicality, versatility, and consistently evolving design and capability. Known internationally under various names, such as Nissan Frontier in markets like the United States and Canada, this vehicle transcends geographical boundaries, consistently becoming a durable and reliable presence across diverse terrains and consumer preferences. Appreciating the more recent Nissan Navara NV400 series built between 2010 and 2021 first necessitates exploring the deep foundation and careful progression of the entire Navara and Frontier series, which have confidently laid the groundwork for today’s refined offering.

Nissan Navara/Frontier: A Journey of Progression and Reliability

D21 Series (1985–1997):
Nissan started its journey in the mid-1980s with the D21 series, often branded as the Nissan "Hardbody" in North America due to its robust and boxy shape. The D21 series stood out globally for its straightforward, rugged construction, practical functionality, and reliable engines. In various international markets—including Australia, Europe, and Asia—it quickly gained respected status among tradespeople, farmers, and adventurous commuters alike, emphasizing durability over extravagance.

D22 Series (1997–2004 in North America; international availability varied):
The subsequent shift into the D22 series demonstrated Nissan’s aim to marry optimal usability with improved refinement. Known simply as the Navara in most global markets and typically the Frontier in North America, this generation preserved the venerable toughness, towards mechanical dependability and stronger overall build quality. Diesel engine options enhanced fuel economy and torque especially for consumers in demanding regions such as Australia and parts of Asia. The D22 remained immensely popular where function and mechanical simplicity were admired above excessive luxury or technology.

D40 Series (2004–2015 globally, known also as Frontier in select markets):
Marking significant evolution, Nissan carefully aligned the Navara to meet shifting customer expectations in this generation. The D40 represented a noticeable movement towards elevated sophistication, comfort, and increasingly driver-focused features. Its more aerodynamic styling, roomier cabin, refined diesel and gasoline engine offerings, improved ride comfort, and upgraded towing capacities made considerable impacts worldwide. Navara D40 was often praised in Europe and Australia for its robust off-road functionality paired seamlessly with a smooth urban driving demeanor—bridging the gap between hardworking practicality and daily ease.

Renault-Nissan NV400 and Clarification (2010 onwards):
Notably, there exists an understandable but common naming confusion between Nissan Navara (pickup) and Nissan NV400, the latter actually representing a large Renault-Nissan alliance commercial van primarily available in Europe. The Nissan NV400, launched around 2010, was fundamentally a spacious, practical commercial vehicle for professional uses. However, given the intent of this specific overview—generally targeted towards the renowned pickup segment—the prime focus of Nissan Navara pickup lineage reflects consistent focus on the D23 generation introduced in 2014 rather than the commercial NV400 van.

D23 NP300 Series (2014–2021 Global Navara):
Subsequently, the newest Navara generation—coded D23 or NP300 Navara—became distinguishable as Nissan’s definitive modern offering built from 2014 onward. It featured substantial enhancements enabling a further refined driving experience, improved overall cabin comfort, and more advanced technologies. Particularly applauded were upgrades in ride and handling, thanks to an advanced multi-link coil suspension replacing traditional leaf springs in certain models. This particular innovation received high praise, notably in markets like Australia and Europe, providing superior ride comfort, refinement, and increased road conduct compared to predecessors without compromising Nissan's reputed off-road capabilities.

The NP300 established itself globally through efficient diesel and petrol engine options, robust towing strength, and genuine off-road abilities balanced carefully alongside sophisticated interior features, comfortable passenger-focused amenities, and useful technology integration.

Amplifying Driving Satisfaction through Thoughtful Technological Enhancements

While these Nissan Navara pickup models—from foundational D21 beginnings towards fully realized modern NP300 iterations—remain profoundly effective in their factory form, enhanced modern-day driving pleasure often motivates thoughtful technology incorporation.
