Pros	Cons
Large load bed and generous payload	Apple CarPlay and Android Auto weren't available before 2019 facelift

Punchy and fuel-efficient diesel engine	Not as wieldy as a conventional SUV

Quick Summary

The Nissan Navara (2014-2022) is Nissan's popular pick-up truck, available in both double-cab and king-cab body styles. The double-cab, with four doors and decent rear-seat space, is more popular, whilst the king-cab features shorter rear doors and occasional-use rear seats with a longer load bed. The Navara stands out in the pick-up class for its coil-spring rear suspension, which delivers a more car-like, comfortable ride than traditional leaf-spring rivals, whilst still handling substantial loads. It's close to the top of the pick-up truck class for payload, with double-cab models offering between 1,115kg and 1,180kg depending on specification, and can tow trailers weighing up to 3,500kg.

The Navara is powered by a punchy and efficient 2.3-litre diesel engine available with either 161bhp or 187bhp, delivering 313lb ft or 332lb ft of torque respectively—more pulling power than most pick-up trucks. Most models feature a six-speed manual gearbox, with a seven-speed automatic available on high-spec double-cabs. The 2.3-litre diesel achieves impressive fuel economy, with early models returning 44.9mpg and later examples achieving 40.4mpg (manual) or 38.2mpg (automatic). Service intervals are lengthy at 12,500 miles or two years for later examples, keeping running costs competitive. Every Navara came with part-time 4WD, allowing the truck to run as rear-wheel-drive for better fuel economy or switch to four-wheel drive when needed. Safety standards are strong, with a Euro NCAP score of four out of five and autonomous emergency braking standard on Acenta spec and above.

Best for: Commercial users, those requiring substantial payload and towing capacity, buyers seeking a fuel-efficient pick-up with low running costs, and those preferring a more car-like driving experience than traditional pick-ups offer.

Not ideal for: Those prioritising the longest warranty, seeking the most wieldy vehicle, or requiring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on pre-2019 models.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Navara if: You require substantial payload and towing capacity, seek a fuel-efficient pick-up with low running costs, or prefer a more car-like driving experience than traditional pick-ups offer.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise the longest warranty, seek the most wieldy vehicle, or require Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard on all models.

Competitive Position: The Nissan Navara (2014-2022) is an excellent all-rounder in the pick-up truck market. Whilst you can buy cheaper pick-ups or more powerful alternatives, the Navara excels as a balanced proposition. Running costs are very competitive, aided by a diesel engine that ranks amongst the most efficient in the commercial vehicle class, with lengthy service intervals further reducing ownership costs. The coil-spring rear suspension makes it more car-like to drive than most rivals, whilst the generous payload and large load bed cater to commercial and domestic users alike. High-spec models like the N-Connecta and Tekna offer excellent value with comprehensive equipment at reasonable prices, making the Navara a sensible choice for those with a close eye on spending.
