I recently drove the new ZA-built Nissan Navara. Was it worth the wait? Certainly.
And let me tell you, the locally built car comes across as more refined than ever. The engine is now reverted to the YD25, a single turbodiesel 2.5 litre, yet rewards the driver with more linear acceleration and great mid gear pull. This despite its predecessor having a bi-turbo 2.3l. It’s not all about the engine, its relationship with the Navara’s automatic gearbox is quite special too. The suspension and NVH too have been further refined to make this the most compliant and premium-feeling Navara yet. Remarkable when you consider this new, tougher bakkie costs less than the car it replaces too.
