Nissan Navara NP300

**disesaki** · February 16th, 2015 07:53 PM

Was able to check out the 4x4 VL and 4x2 EL AT variants. Looks really great in the flesh and is way better than the previous model. I initially thought the 4x2 EL AT was the best value for money but after seeing both units, I think the 4x4 VL AT is the bang for the buck model.

The 4x2 EL loses all the electronic tech features along with the 4x4 capability and higher torque/HP. I maybe wouldn't mind that so much but here are some other features of the 4x2 EL AT that I did not like, or was not willing to settle for.

1. 16" wheels - the 18" rollers on the 4x4 version was way better to look at. It may cost in excess of 100k to replace this with 20" aftermarket wheels. I've "heard" the PCD of Nissan's tires have fewer aftermarket options.

2. Regular 2-Din Head Unit - I wanted a HU with GPS and rear view camera. It might cost 40k+ to get this replaced with a better one. The stock HU of the 4x4 VL isn't really great, with a small 5" monitor, but at least it already has GPS and rear view camera. I can live with this.

3. Multi-reflector halogen HL - I was disappointed that the 4x2 EL AT was not equipped with the LED projectors and LED DRLs. Nothing against the halogens but projector headlamps, especially LEDs have a way of spoiling you and giving you more confidence at night. This cost a fortune to upgrade, and the thought of voiding warranties does not sound reassuring.

Other than that, it is basically the same specs for both models. I probably would spend slightly less to upgrade these 3 things but didn't want the headache of going that route. I would settle for the 4x2 EL AT if it is going to be a secondary vehicle, but might get the 4x4 VL AT since I intend to make it my primary ride.

Test drives start Feb 21, as informed by the SA.

Cost of maintenance seems to be a good selling point too.

Guys, i'm planning to get the Navara 4.2 EL Calibre M/T. Kumsuta naman po ung FC nyo? What are the figures pag city driving moderate to heavy and ung long drives nyo? I'm driving now a small car and gas has never been an issue, worry ko lng baka magastos eto sa diesel.

Anyone who measured theirs?

TIA
