Summary
Average. A versatile and practical people-carrier which was acclaimed as one of the first mini-MPVs. Its a spacious five-seater family car thats still a best-seller.
Styling
Big and chunky, the Navara looks the part - this isnt a car youre ever likely to lose in a carpark.
Handling
Body roll, lean and limited grip levels mean the Navara doesnt feel up to the dynamic standards of conventional cars.
Comfort
The Navaras choppy ride over rougher roads limits occupant comfort, although it cruises easily and relatively quietly at motorway speeds.
Quality
Built to last and with respectable quality feel inside, although youll look in vain for soft-feel materials and hydraulically damped grab handles.
Performance
This is the pick-up GTI - 172 bhp engine makes mincemeat of rivals like the Mitsubishi L200 and Toyota HiLux.
Roominess
The King Cab is only really suited to two occupants, but the Double Cab can accommodate four in reasonable comfort. All have plenty of luggage space, obviously.
Costs
Respectable fuel economy means the Navara is reasonably cost-effective to run, but its main financial attraction is for business users who can save thousands from their tax bills by driving one.
Value
Looks like excellent value compared to conventional SUVs, and business users can also reclaim VAT. Depreciation likely to be steep on more expensive versions.
Stereo
The stereo system struggles to overcome the noise of the engine, although the optional full-colour satnav works well.
