NISSANNP300 Pickup Single Cab 2008 - 2015

　　Nissan didn't want to lose its traditional customers who used the pickups as workhorses and offered them a purpose-built vehicle: the NP300 Single Cab.

　　The Japanese carmaker introduced the latest evolution on the D22 Series in 2007 as a workhorse. For those looking for a more comfortable vehicle, it has already offered the D40 Series since 2004. However, there was still a high demand for dedicated, simple, off-road utility vehicles that shouldn't have cost an arm and a leg, and for that, the D22-based Nissan pickup was a great deal. The Japanese carmaker offered it in a few body shapes, including the Single Cab version as a base model.

　　At the front, the D22 featured an updated fascia with clear headlights and a black plastic bumper. A black hood-scoop provided additional air for the intercooler. It wasn't there only for design purposes. The base version, Single Cab, featured a 2-door and 2-seat cabin and offered the longest bed in the back.

　　Inside, it offered room for two occupants and barely any comfort features. Even the air-conditioning was offered as an option. Its seats were covered with a stain-proof fabric, and the hard plastic panels were easy to clean.

　　Under the hood, Nissan installed a 2.5-liter turbodiesel engine in the NP300. The only available transmission was a 5-speed manual. Unlike its main rival, the Toyota Hi-Lux, the D22 featured a 4x4 system with a transfer box and a low-range gear for the entire range.
