Used 2018 Nissan Navara for sale near South West England

The 2018 Nissan Navara is a more significant vehicle than it's ever been before. Despite being one of the best - and most popular - pickup trucks on sale, the Navara had to be withdrawn from sale as a new vehicle in 2022 due to new emissions regulations faced by vehicle manufacturers, and that means that used examples are now in high demand. However, if you are considering a used one, heed this word of advice. The Navara was facelifted in 2019, and it brought a raft of very appealing improvements, not least a better infotainment system with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, plus a new manual gearbox with a smoother shift action than the one it replaced. If you can afford it, go for a facelifted version.

Strengths:

Civilised on the road for a pickup truck
Big loadbay and good payload
Class-leading fuel economy

Weaknesses:

Poor infotainment system with no smartphone integration
Rather dull interior
Notchy manual gearbox

Is the 2018 Nissan Navara better than the 2018 Toyota HiLux?

If your truck needs to be dual-purpose, doubling as a family car at the weekends, then go for the Navara. Its superior ride comfort and refinement will make it a much more pleasant way to transport your family around. However, if all you need is a true-blue workhorse, then the HiLux is more rugged and, provided you get it serviced according to schedule at a Toyota main dealer, comes with a warranty that could last up to 10 years.
