Nissan Navara FAQs

• Are Nissan Navaras reliable?

  Over the years the Nissan Navara has established itself as a reliable and dependable choice in the ute segment. This is a no-nonsense 'go anywhere' ute with enough grunt and power to withstand a tough life, so if you're looking for something a little more polished, cast your eyes elsewhere. But that's also what ensures this vehicle meets the needs of many who demand a run-around ute that can function as a true workhorse. Just keep in mind that many Nissan Navaras are subject to gruelling requirements and usage, so stick to buying new and be sure to look after it!

• Which is better, HiLux or Navara?

  A battle of two giants, the Toyota HiLux and Nissan Navara are rightfully as good as you'll find in the ute segment, along with one or two other names. Inside the cabin both models offer a spacious and tidy layout, complete with a number of handy features and amenities. In terms of styling, the HiLux has a more muscular look that may appeal to some, whereas the Navara has more defined curves. The Navara edges ahead on-road where it has a more comfortable and poised feel, especially due to its multi suspension set-up with rear coil springs. Contrasting that, the HiLux with its leaf spring suspension can handle well with extra load in the tray, although sheer capacity goes to the Navara. The Navara is just as good if not better than the HiLux, but there is very little separating these two in the real world.

• What engine is in a Nissan Navara?

  Across the Nissan Navara line-up you'll find two engines to choose from, both allowing power, acceleration and fuel efficiency to not only coexist, but thrive. The standout is the 2.3-litre twin turbo diesel engine that offers 140kW of power and 450Nm of torque, a real beast in the field and scoring top marks for guts and determination. There are some variants that utilise a 120kW single turbo diesel engine instead, optimising all the fortitude you'll need to tackle a hard day's work.
