APPEALING: The updated Nissan Navara presents an interesting option for both work and play.
Nissan Navara TWO years into its lifecycle, the Nissan Navara has found itself on the right end of a few twerks and tweaks. It is unusual, yes, but also gives a strong indication of how important this ute is to the motoring giant. Complaints of ride quality have followed the 2016 model and Nissan has worked hard to revise the suspension, made changes to the front and rear shock absorbers and stiffened the rebound dampers. Nissan has also taken this opportunity to add a further variant to the range, the SL, a new entry-model 4x4 starting
By VANI NAIDOO from $43,990. So has Nissan managed to eliminate the jiggle?

Curved edges and the use of leather trim and brushed metal highlights are just the start of a story that also includes easy-to-read instrumentation,
is worth considering good placement of button and dials and a steering wheel that feels comfortable in the hand. That the latter is adjustable for height only, not reach, is an inconvenience but not distractingly so. It is reasonably well-appointed and includes features like auto headlights and wipers, fog lights, reverse camera, sat-nav, side steps and an electricallypowered sliding rear window. The cloth covered seats in our Navara ST were rather supportive, long enough under the thigh and wide enough across the shoulders to offer real comfort for occupants in the front even on longer
trips. Those in the rear pew are not without their joys. Three adults can travel back there if needed and although head and leg room is acceptable, don’t expect to stretch out. As in most dual-cabs the back seat can be rather upright which happily is somewhat less so in this Navara. The kids will enjoy the higher vantage point and the access to air but watch the suede-like seat covering if you allow them a road trip snack.
