Navara Review

22 October 2012

Nissan Australia has just launched its 2012 Nissan Navara pick-up/crew cab range with significant equipment upgrades and price reductions. It’s all in a bid to strengthen its enviable share of what has become a key segment in the market, and one that’s getting bigger as competition from traditional players heats up.

There’s a gunfight brewing in the diesel dual-cab ute market. Last year the segment accounted for more than 75,000 sales, and it’s growing, with impressive new contenders emerging on a regular basis, aimed as much at tradies as recreational and family buyers.

Perennial favourites, Nissan Navara and Toyota HiLux, which together account for around 50 per cent of diesel dual-cab sales, are no longer clearcut choices, with the likes of the Volkswagen Amarok and Ford Ranger/Mazda BT-50 raising the bar over the last 12 months.
