2015 NP300 Nissan Navara dual-cab review - Cars Guide
As with the newest rivals, the Navara has addressed its biggest customer concerns, payload and towing capacity. The new Navara can tow 3500kg — the same as the class leaders and, by no coincidence, the maximum legally allowed for such vehicles. The new four-door Navara has a payload of 1112kg in bare-bones rear-wheel-drive diesel spec (with the lesser version of the two diesels available) or 930kg if you buy the top-of-the-range 4WD with all the fruit, both figures on par for the segment. The crew cab’s rear window slides open at the press of a button so you can yell at someone (or be yelled at) when reversing or let the mutt poke his head inside. That means the proportions are almost the same as the outgoing Navara (even though every panel is new) and there’s not much extra cabin room. There is no digital speed display, only one USB port to charge gadgets (more please, Nissan), the steering wheel has no reach adjustment and only the driver gets an auto-up window. Conspicuous by its absence is a rear-view camera on most of the 27 Navara variants, a significant blemish given these relatively cheap devices are. Source: www.carsguide.com.au
