The latest Navara’s 10.8 sec 0-60 acceleration is a second less than previously, and it now runs out of puff at 112mph (up from 105). Torque, the pulling power that owners of vehicles like this use for lugging big trailers, now stands at a useful 332lb/ft. The big Nissan is also 15 per cent cleaner, now emitting 224g/km of CO2.
Most buyers are likely to opt for the slightly stolid, six-speed manual gearbox, although a five-speed auto can also be specified. In manual guise, the vehicle is determinedly unstressed, providing the sort of power that pulls tree stumps out of the ground, and once it’s rolling, the driver can leave it in the higher gears most of the time, when the engine isn’t working hard and gets on with its job unobtrusively.
Anyone expecting a crude driving experience will be in for a surprise. With its mix of truck-like separate chassis frame, bulk and simple, tough rear suspension, on paper the Navara should have the dynamics of a bread van. Instead, it cornered surprisingly tidily, holding its line in bends without undue hopping about from the rear wheels. Its steering is fluid and accurate too.
With stiff rear springs (intended not to sag if the load bay, with its clever range of fixing points, is filled with heavy gear), the Navara’s ride proved un-jittery when semi-loaded. Nissan filled an optional lockable box in the load area with bags of stones, so we can’t report on it in un-laden guise, but suspect the ride would harder but not unpleasantly so.
