The only downside is that the dark tinted windows combine with the tinted glass on higher spec models to make the view out the back restricted - especially as there's no wash/wipe on the rear screen. You may think it's designed with form ahead of function - it has a pretty low roofline for starters - but it's great from a security point of view with remote locking that's hooked up to the central locking system. Even better is the fact Nissan added four-wheel disc brakes with the 2019 update, boosting the truck's stopping power.Īn attractive feature of the Navara is the optional hard-top for the pick-up bed. There’s also a generous level of safety kit, including Nissan’s autonomous emergency braking technology that helps lower insurance premiums. All Navara models get the excellent 5-year/100,000-mile warranty that applies right across the brand's commercial vehicle range and is fully transferable to the next owner. The latter shares its running gear with the Navara, although it has a significant price premium over the Nissan, as well as a more upmarket interior and an even more comfortable ride.Įlsewhere, Nissan has paid particular attention to keeping costs low. Plush SUV-like models such as the VW Amarok and Mercedes X-Class are also available, although both will be discontinued in 2020. Elsewhere, the Mitsubishi L200 is a close match for kit and performance, while the Isuzu D-Max and SsangYong Musso are closer to the commercial end of the spectrum. Our class favourite is the Ford Ranger, which had a thorough update in 2019 to put it at the top of the class, while the Toyota Hilux is also a strong contender that has benefitted from numerous updates. Rivals for the Navara are plentiful, especially as there's such a broad variety of Navara models offered. More significantly, all Navaras now get rear disc brakes instead of drums, and bigger front discs, while the rear suspension is raised by 25mm to improve the truck’s ride quality and payload weights. The update in 2019 saw the shorter King Cab model and trucks with the 161bhp diesel get the same multi-link rear suspension as the 187bhp Double Cab versions.
