Nissan Navara

Nissan's new Navara has been developed alongside the Pathfinder SUV and as such shares many of the features of a quality off-roader. It is a more sophisticated proposition than a pure utility vehicle. It's offered as a King Cab with small 'suicide' rear doors that are hinged at the rear and reveal a pillarless opening to the cab area with occasional rear seating for two. Alternatively a Double Cab format features four conventional doors and seats up to five. Both have the same wheelbase and overall length, so the King Cab has the larger capacity pick-up bay although Nissan claims both offer class leading load areas. A single cab option is not offered. Navara also dominates the class in terms of its engine with a significantly more potent unit than any rival. It's not the cheapest option out there, but it is the best currently available.
