Feedback on new 2.5 lt D22 Navara

been in a friends new nav and i agree very little difference, a tad low but plenty of power

Heard a rumour that they are keeping the new engine but rereleasing the old body/chasis?? From some mechanics that generally are in the know. Anyone else heard this?

It's a 2.5 Common Rail but not the same as it's newer brother. 98kw and 304NM, a backward step from the 3.0L it replaces.
Link here.

I read that the new engine actually had 128kW and 403Nm?

I thought that was a pretty large jump considering the cubes got downgraded.
