Bakkies have over the slowly become a part of South African's lives, you either own one or you know someone who does. Over the years these vehicles have gone from being utilized for hard labour and utility purposes to now serving both as a workhorse as well as a lifestyle vehicle.
Throughout its lifespan, the Nissan Navara has gone through a lot of refining to be what it is today - the perfect blend of lifestyle and utility. In 2016 the Japanese bakkie scooped an award for international Pick-Up of the year, proving why it's also a popular contender in our South African market. Gone are the days of bakkies looking 'soft' and Nissan has ensured that the Navara looks anything but. These vehicles have been designed to look bold and rugged. Both the current and the previous generation Navara blend into their environment quite well, be it in the natural or concrete jungle. In its current generation, the Nissan has been improved in nearly every aspect - the load bin has been increased in size by 67mm and is also 474mm deeper than before. All of this results in a load capacity of 1061 litres, which in simple terms means you can load up anything you can think of, from sand and rubble to bicycles and a braai stand for a weekend away with the family. What's nice is that the cabin is equally spacious and comfortable, and will house the family without hassle.
Available in single and double-cab there's a Nissan Navara to suit every need, be it the person commuting to a construction site and driving through mud and gravel on a daily, or the family man who's mastered the art of seamlessly combining work and play. Where towing is required the Navara is capable of towing a braked trailer of up to 3.5 tonnes, so whether you're pulling a caravan to your holiday destination or a trailer filled with tools and equipment, the Navara will always be up for the challenge.
