Nissan NP300 Navara wins award

The new Nissan NP300 Navara won the International Pick-up Award 2016 in Lyon, France in November. The latest edition of the Navara fought off stiff competition from Mitsubishi and Ford to win the award, being judged on off-road and on-road performance.

The NP300 Navara was put through a rigorous international pick-up testing process and won this award due to its competency as a workhorse giving customers value for money, a company spokesman said.

Combining crossover-inspired comfort and refinement while maintaining its acclaimed off-road ability, durability and load capacity, the NP300 Navara has new features including a more robust chassis, a five-link rear suspension for the Dual Cab pick-up models and a load bed, which is 67mm longer than the previous.

Corporate Vice President, Nissan LCV BU, Philippe Guérin-Boutaud said, "This prestigious award celebrates Nissan's 80 years of pick-up expertise. Rigorous testing by International Pick-up of the Year illuminated the tough and innovative character of the Navara."
