Performance

The 2.5 Litre Dci engine pulls well throughout the gears and for such a large vehicle it is relatively easy to handle, from the twists and turns of a b-road to the high speed cruising of the motorway. The Navara Is not built with speed in mind, though the six speed gearbox allows the driver to cruise effortlessly at 70 mph on the motorway at minimum revs and accelerate easily through the gears if needed.

Ride & Handling

Nissan have done their best here to achieve a civilised and comfortable ride in a vehicle which is built for the commercial market place, they have largely achieved their aim! A certain amount of body roll is to be expected on such a tall vehicle, but with the double cab version having five seats it is possible to treat the Navara as both an industrial tool and a family car.

Build Quality & Reliability

The Navara is a rugged vehicle and when you consider it is built with Nissan’s reputation for bullet-proof reliability you would expect this pick-up to carry on well into it’s old age with no problems whatsoever.

Safety & Security

Our car was the Outlaw model and had remote central locking, alarm and immobiliser, although you would expect this to be the case throughout the range these days. Airbags are as prevalent inside as they are in any family saloon which again is indicative of what Nissan are trying to achieve with the Navara. In such a large vehicle you would certainly feel safe in the case of an accident!

Space & Practicality

There is an optional extra on the Nissan Navara which effectively turns the vehicle from an everyday pick up truck to a family estate 4x4. The Hard top for the back of the vehicle is crucial if you are going to have the best of both worlds with this vehicle and use it for both commercial and domestic purposes. Without it there is effectively no boot space. The Cabin is very spacious and would easily fit five adults in comfort.

Ownership & Value

Of all the Pick up trucks on sale at present the Navara appears to be the most popular and for good reason. On it’s release it was far ahead of the competition, with it’s 150hp Diesel engine representing a far more responsive drive than other pick up trucks could deliver. You get the distinct feeling from just a few days in the vehicle that should you wish to, you could push it hard for many years and still end up with a perfect working tool and possibly a family estate to boot!
