Recently, the production of crossovers, or, as people say about them, "SUVs", has increased significantly. It even got to the point that some models began to force real all-wheel drive SUVs out of the market. However, who definitely does not fall into this list is the legendary Japanese jeep Nissan Safari. We will talk about him today.
Production history
This car originates back in 1987. It was then that the first generation of all-wheel drive Nissan Safari jeeps in the back of the Y60 was born. Then the novelty was considered a model of a modern SUV, as it embodied comfort and excellent cross-country ability. And if now this ratio has become familiar, then in the 80s, few manufacturers could boast of a combination of such qualities.
By the way, the Nissan Safari was one of the first SUVs to boast an automatic transmission and a velor interior with power windows.
Design
First generation datacars had a very formidable appearance. "Nissan Safari" (a photo of the first generation of jeeps 1987-1997 is presented a little higher) was distinguished by external confidence and aggressiveness. Round headlights were successfully combined with a chrome bumper, on which motorists often installed a winch and a massive bull bar. Impressive ground clearance and wide wheel arches once again testify that the Nissan Safari car belongs to the class of full-fledged 4x4 SUVs.
The second generation of cars, which was released in the fall of 1997, was significantly different from its ancestors. Japanese designers have modernized the exterior of the SUV to such an extent that even now it cannot be called outdated or ancient. The high-raised bumper was first equipped with round foglights, and the new chrome-look grille is still used on some Nissan models. There are muscular wheel arches on the sides, and a stylish side line on the doors. The hood and roof are even, without unnecessary bends and superiorities. The ground clearance of the novelty is still high, and Nissan Safari has not refused all-wheel drive.
Specifications
Depending on the years of production, the Nissan Safari was equipped with such power plants as:
- Three-liter turbodiesel engine with 170 horsepower, accelerating the car to 155 kilometers per hour at maximum power.
- 4.2-liter diesel unit with 160 horsepower. The maximum speed here is 155 km/h.
- Powerful 200-horsepower 4.5-liter gasoline engine that accelerates the jeep to 160 kilometers per hour.
- The most powerful and, perhaps, the most voracious gasoline unit with a capacity of 245 horsepower and a displacement of 4.8 liters. On average, such an engine consumed about 15-16 liters of fuel per "hundred". A dash to 100 kilometers per hour takes more than 13 seconds.
Nissan Safari - price
The cost of the first generation of the Japanese Nissan Safari in the old Y60 body is about 400-450 thousand rubles. SUV "Nissan Safari" with a Y61 body (second generation) can be purchased at a price of 900 thousand rubles to 1 million 100 thousand rubles.
