Here is an interesting quote from the latest Nissan eNews

The all new turbo diesel Nissan Navara Dual Cab has been voted “Best Pick-Up” in the 2005 What Van? Awards in the UK. What Van? drove every light commercial vehicle available in the British market, assessing them for drivability, comfort, performance, handling, refinement, safety, load area, economy and value for money. The Navara picked up the gold in the “Pick Up” section beating off stiff competition from the Toyota Hilux and Mitsubishi L200.

Since its launch in August 2005 in the UK, Navara has been the top-selling pick-up every month. Out of the total number of pick-ups sold in Britain in September over 40% carried the Nissan badge.

What Van? editor Neil McIntee commented: “It’s rare for What Van?’s band of hardened hacks to fall completely in love with a vehicle at first drive, but that’s what happened with the Navara. It’s one of the best-performing diesel 4×4 pick-ups we’ve ever encountered”.
