Nissan Navara review

The Nissan Navara is a Nissan Pathfinder double cabin pick-up truck version, with many qualities still shared from its parent vehicle. It is impossible to compare it with the usual pick-ups that are in the market, thanks chiefly to a 2.5L turbocharged diesel engine that produces a whooping 171 BHP.

This powerful vehicle has the potential to hit 60 miles per hour in 11.3 seconds, which is not so bad considering it is a clumsy and heavy pick-up truck capable of carrying heavy material because of its 403Nm torque figure. Despite all this power, the engine is well refined such that it runs relatively smoothly. It also handles off-road terrain pretty well, thanks to its 4 wheel drive system, which can be selected whenever the driver so wishes.

The Navara’s engine is also linked to a well refined and smooth shifting 6 speed gearbox, although an automatic 5 speed version is also available in the market. The vehicle also handles pretty well, although the ride of the car has been criticized many a times. This has led to the Nissan bowfins creating a version with stability control option.

All these features combine well to make the Navara compete well with other pick-ups in the market, like the Mitsubishi L200, the Toyota Hilux and the Ford Ranger.

It has gained a lot of popularity among people looking for a vehicle that is able to carry many passengers while ferrying a huge amount of cargo while performing well off-road. It has a deepest and widest load bed in the market, with a towing capacity of 2.7 tons. There also are alternatives for up-market customers, with four versions available: Sport, Trek, Aventura and Outlaw. All these versions have Bluetooth, with the Aventura coming with DVD, satellite navigation and heated leather seats and curtain airbags.

Despite all this power and weight, the Navara’s diesel engine does an impressive 28 miles per gallon, and yet this pick-up needs service every 18,000 miles.

This car truly is a great value for money, very appropriate for business owners. In the United Kingdom, the Navara is a relatively well priced car, and on top of that enjoys certain tax breaks that make it an extremely popular car there. There are some great deals on navara leasing from many providers and there has never been a better time to lease.

Incase a car owner is worried about the safety of the cargo they are carrying, there is an optional hard top for the rear bay which still accommodates a reasonable amount of cargo.
