Here's a quick comparison between the current specifications and the latest Toyota Hilux and the D40 Nissan Navara or Frontier. Well you know the reasons we are comparing the Hilux and the Nissan Navara or Frontier as it is known in some parts of the world is probably one of the most obvious competitors. We are again looking at the 4x4 dual cab versions of both utility vehicles. If you look at getting a do it all of the 'one' car you can use for everything than these cars do make sense. Pricing for the 4x4 Hilux dual cab SR/SR5 and the Navara ST-X. The Navara ST-X was chosen because it is clearly the most popular version in Australia. Nisan have recently introduced the Titanium version which has even more car like equipment. The Navara's specifications I have compared the Hilux
against are likewise for the 4x4 dual cab version. And as you can see
they are close overall. I think choosing between the two would be
based more on whether you want the most powerful engine. |
However note that the Nissan Navara's engine requires more revs which may not be what you want being a utility vehicle and the gearbox which is not geared for speed. The Nissan has a much higher towing capacity compared to the Hilux. Also note there are notable differences height measurements between the diesel and petrol versions - I think this is odd! The current series of Nissan Navara are also genuinely decent cars. When compared to the Hilux you will notice how more comfy the Navara is on the road. It rides better at the expense of off-road capability. Performance is virtually identical the Toyota having the smoother response. The Nissan's interior looks better than the Hilux until the dashboard. At this stage I would pick the Navara slightly ahead of the Hilux - and my main concern is whether I could live with the Nissan's interior, specifically the dashboard. Everything including the chunky doors are good the dashboard is just too 80's (like the Pathfinder). As for its competitors stay tuned for some more comparisons over the next few months. Note that you should always check with your local
dealer for correct and up to date specifications and pricing. |
