One-ton bakkie makes impressive strides in ride quality and refinement

It’s also now built at Nissan’s Rosslyn factory near Pretoria, having been previously imported since its 2017 launch. The range was formerly available only in high-end double cab variants but has expanded into a full line-up of workhorses and leisure vehicles in single- and double-cab guises. For night driving, intelligent high beam assist automatically switches headlights from high to low beam when it detects oncoming vehicles. Trailer Stability Assist is standard in all double cabs, and towing capacity is 3,500kg braked and 750kg unbraked.
A major selling point of the Navara when it was launched in 2017 was its independent rear suspension with coil springs, in place of the hardy leaf springs fitted to most bakkies. It gave the Nissan one of the most comfortable rides in the one-tonner segment, and suspension tweaks make the updated bakkie waft even better.
Nissan has swapped out the previous 140kW/450Nm 2.3 twin turbo diesel four-cylinder engine with a single-turbo four-cylinder 2.5 diesel with the same outputs. It’s paired as before with a seven-speed automatic transmission.
