The Navara drives very well indeed, a Nissan strong point. A commanding driving position, well-appointed cab, good visibility and powerful engines result in relaxed cruising with manual  gearbox. Nissan Navara has  more than enough power, especially when towing. And when it comes to four-wheel drive off-road, it really comes into its own thanks to a low range set of gear ratios.

The specific  Navara equiped with one and a half trucj cabin has always felt like a big truck, though it’s no longer the largest on the road. The Nissan doesn’t suffer from the wet roundabout handling issues often associated with empty pick-ups. It feels secure and can be pushed along without worrying about the rear wheels losing traction. The ride is relatively relaxed, too!

As with its performance, the Nissan Navara is also still a good choice for ride comfort thanks to suspension that copes well . Accurate steering with no slop helps enormously here, while the Navara makes a better fist of putting its power down on the road than most pick-up rivals.
