Some bakkies come and go with the seasons. The Nissan Navara simply endures. It has been hauling loads, crossing rivers, and outlasting its owners' expectations on South African soil for decades, and with every generation it gets a little sharper, a little tougher, and a little harder to deny.
The current double cab is the most complete Navara yet. Under the bonnet lurkes a 2.5-litre intercooled turbo diesel delivering 140 kilowatts and 450 Newton metres of torque, which is a serious number in any company. A shift-on-the-fly 4x4 system lets you switch between two-wheel and four-wheel drive at speeds up to 100 kilometres per hour, so when the tar ends and the adventure begins, you are never caught unprepared.
The PRO-4X is the one derivative that earns the most admiring glances, and for good reason. It is the fully loaded, trail-ready, nothing-left-out version of an already excellent bakkie. Inside, recontoured rear seats with a new armrest, dual cupholders, rear seat ducts, and USB charging mean the passengers are as comfortable as the driver. It is a bakkie that does not ask you to choose between capability and comfort. It simply delivers both.
Every 2026 Navara comes standard with a six-year, 150,000-kilometre warranty and a six-year, 90,000-kilometre service plan, which is the kind of manufacturer confidence that speaks louder than any advert.
CMH Nissan Ballito is currently offering the Navara PRO-4X double cab at R699,900. For everything this bakkie brings to the table, that is a number worth paying very close attention to.
