- You know my thoughts on bakkies, but the Nissan Navara is definitely one to consider if you are in the market for one.

I bought the new Navara 2.5DDti LE after selling my 2020 Ford Ranger 2.0 SiT XLT 4x4 Auto. The one year old Ford broke and left me stranded 3 times and only went into limp mode once. The other 3 times it died and would not start. Diesel pump and electrical issues. I am very happy with the Navara. Great gearbox, good fuel consumption, great off road, but break over angle could be better. 8km/l while towing 700kg and 600kg in the bin @ 120-125km/h. Normal driving 10.5 to 11 km/liter. Would have bought a Hilux for the reliability, but the ride is too hard, while the load it can carry is the least (@ 840kg). And prices in SA are insane for the higher spec Hilux. But I'm very happy with the Navara @ 10 000km so far.
Wow nice. How do the two compare in terms of performance and overtaking?
@@thandomthembu4913 I liked the ''Sport" mode of the Ranger. The LE model of the Navara doesn't have that. Not sure about the PRO2/4X models. The Navara does have 140kw and 450N.m versus the 130kw and 430N.m of the Ranger Single Turbo. So the Navara should be better. In real life I think the Ranger is better in Sport mode, but not in normal mode. Low down in normal mode the Ranger is awful with lots of lag, made worse if you fit bigger tyres on the 10spd auto. The 7spd auto of the Navara can be modulated with the pedal to drop 1 or 2 gears. If you step on the gas too much, it would drop 2 gears and you would sometimes be out of the power /torque band and loose momentum. Overall I still prefer the Navara, mostly for reliability. ( + 6 year 150 000km garuantee ).
Honestly speaking, there is no other vehicle that is more versatile versatile a bakkie. Handles our SA roads. It's safe. Can load things in the back, take the family around. Go on holidays. Can go into remote places. It's comfortable.
100%
I agree 10,000% - bakkies are not perfect for any one function (not even off-roading with the modern lifestyle pickup's) but they can do everything, reasonably well.
In Malaysia i just bought nissan navara on 2023 2.5cc engine with 190hp and 450tork with cis is really good for me.....😚😚😚😚
Always brief and straight to the point. Thank you Juliet.
For me I love a bakkie, because they are versatile, I can carry my family in it yet still carry loads in the back, even do towing if I have to further more still put luggage in the back when I'm travelling provided I have a tonneu cover and has more space in the back than a four door sedan boot, so yeah for me bakkies are the perfect vehicle
Awesome review , realistic and straight to the point very helpful, keep up the awesome work , kev in Macduff Scotland
You can buy load bin space dividers to stop your stuff from rolling all over the place
Very blingy on the outside!
Is the Tiffany song an indication of your opinion on the age of the tech in the bakkie?
How's the gearbox?
In red this car is🔥🔥🔥🔥,thanks for this review,honest and straight forward
That's song playing outside is emlanjeni by sir trill 😂😂 you should play it in one of your videos
As always excellent review.
Agree with you about Bakkies, unless you have your own business......hopelessly too long for shopping malls. Things in the back are a major target for theft
My lovely 2.3 LE sadly had to go due to financial reasons. 😭😭Currently I'm driving an associate's older A4 and SLK and do not miss the bulkiness of the Navara, but miss the ride quality. This facelift is better in all aspects - my opinion after an extended test drive. Excellent vehicles!!! BTW, this Tiffany song from my early Varsity days just made my day😎
Eish finances have been hectic but yeah let's keep fighting we will bounce back and get back to enjoying lives once more. And big up🙌🙌👊👊👏👏 the spirit of letting go u such an inspiration.
lol i im one of those who simply would never buy a bakkie as i live in the city. makes no sense at all thing is forever big. glad you mentioned this juliet
Hi Juliet! For me, double Cab Bakkies are not practical for family trips. The back seats are so upward that for a long trip which our roads permit makes it extremely uncomfortable for back passengers. Also, most of the time it is driven with an empty load. For the price of a family car, a small SUV or even big one, one will carry passengers in a much better comfortable space as per budget afforded. Thank you for great reviews. It is always a pleasure watching your reviews.
It's an all around vehicle. You can carry heavy stuff with it. You can do heavy towing with it. You can have passengers in it. It can go fast on the highway, and you can go off roading with it. All in one vehicle.
I agree with you on the grocery thing
I mean, paying so much money then you still have to take out some extra cash to cover at the back
Can you please make a comparison with old Nissan navara?
These bakkies use old technology yet they cost almost R800 000. Oversized plastic wheel arches, stickers, black grilles and fancy names and numbers are not going to fool me. They should cost about R500 000 for the top spec.
Nice review but I liked that Amapiano song playing from the streets🕺🏾
I want to buy this but don't know where to put my laptop bag safe
The music at the end when the dude opened the Taxi boot ....... LOL
One of the best looking bakkies available until you get inside which makes you feel like you just stepped into the Ark…
These bakkies are priced through the roof these days
They all hitting 1 bar with the next gen Ford 3litre
When are you driving the Toyota Corolla Cross?
I'm having a hard time deciding if to purchase the Nissan Navara or Hyundai Elantra. I love both but i need help deciding!
(I'm female btw and no i don't have kids)
what exactly do non-farmers, non-trades people use a double-cab for? What is that item that you carry on a regular that could not fit in a SUV that made a double-cab the only choice?
Navara in mascara... Nice one!
Can't wait for your TOYOTA Hilux Review
The only bakkie that matters
I’m with you on this. If you want a car, buy a car if you want a bakkie then buy a bakkie don’t buy a inbetweener. Don’t understand double cabs at all
I'm with you, I hate them but they look good, just don't understand what are they for.
Great video. Couldn’t agree with you. Backseats in bakkies are just uncomfortable
You definitely are alone with such a view...I prefer my Hilux over our X3....its just so versatile and COOL!!😂😂👌👌💪💪
I feel like it all comes down to personal preference. I think people who buy this car just want to be different from the rest with no pressure
Actually the engine is the OLD 2.5L that was in the previous generation. It's been slightly updated but is slugish compared to its competitors. , They dropped the twin turbo Renault developed 2.3L due to issues with it.
the d40 had the yd25 that was built in Spain 128hpand 450kw and Thailand 106Kw and 356Nm from the d23 onwards thay had the 2.3 twin turbo and the 2022 has the same 2.3 but nothing compares to the d40 550 vx9
@@TheBoobieBandit1 the current Navara we get is using the same 2.5 from the D40 (with some upgrades) . Only the European market is using the 2.3 twin turbo.
There were too many issues with the 2.3 (possibly diesel quality related) so it was dropped.
Check with Nissan SA and you'll see
@@deanwilliams2374 I'm in nz the d40 yd25 was a Renault engine as well power wise how it comes on to boost the 2.5 is way better then the 2.3
@@TheBoobieBandit1 all Nissan engines are a collaboration with Renault as they're the same company, so it's no surprise.
@ 3:00 and @ 3:48 Tiffany. Oh my ✨🙏🏼
The condition of the south African roads are demanding that we use Bakkies and SUVs
They nailed the exterior design and then fell asleep before they got to the interior…
Is this a review or a karaoke session?
Great Video. I have one of these bakkie. The NP300 N Connect model. It’s 2017 series 2, 2.3L Dual Turbo jobbie. I love it.
It handles Irish rough roads well. If one doesn’t put in the boot the fuel consumption is good. In the winter, it’s best to let it warm up well before one drives it. Diesels don’t like short trips. As the DPF filter can choke up with the sooty spooge. Speeds over 50mph will clear it. It does warn if the dpf needs a clean. Another way is to use every second shot tankful with some Redex fuel treatment. It keeps the dpf clleaner.
It’s a real pain these DPFs. But the new Emissions laws broight in all this stuff.
The 2nd generation Navs are Euro 6 compliant on emissions. And burning the Ad Blue. The pig piss fuel. Can you believe it. We’re burning pig piss now in engines. It all works fine though.
I love them but they never practical, if we can keep them for what they are designed
Not worth getting shot in the head for a toyota. So this is a safe alternative. Best looking bakkie
Dual purpose , ride hight practical
Well at least this video had less singing and more reviewing, so there is still hope.
Ok Karen!
Main reason to drive these is to put up with Our horrible roads...
These same roads destroy little cars
Diesel does not stink!
VERSATILE ,RIDE HEIGHT,
Why are your husband driving an UP though.🤦🏿
Vans are the best. Forget bukkies
I Think u must consider being a Dj!!!luv videos.
Yeah...chick car reviews are just.... different 😂😂
Dame bruinkrag ook onprakties🤣🤣
Top bakkie segment is Toyota Hilux,Ford Ranger & Isuzu KB/DMAX , VW AMAROK does not come close
Just play Piano!

Good review. Please stop trying to sing. It doesn't help your course.
Cause
It's ugly.
It doesn’t matter how they dress these vehicles up, they are no comparison to the the USA models, which is what we want in Australia. What we get compared to the states is chalk and cheese, th-cam.com/video/Rfaqj5dMuU4/w-d-xo.html check out the better looking Frontier.
