The NP300 Navara is the entry level model in the Nissan Ute range and allows drivers access to unprecedented low prices from a mainstream brand. With prices for the base model manual DX petrol listed as below $20k, this option undercuts much of the competition. If you need further convincing, here is a basic guide to the DX4x2.

Performance:
When you are looking for a solid workhorse, performance power is vital, and fortunately, the Nissan NP300 Navara is happy to oblige. The DX is equipped with a petrol engine, which is the cheaper option compared to the diesel variants in the range. This four cylinder 2.5 litre engine is paired with a manual six speed transmission in the single cab spec. This delivers 122 kW power and 238 Nm torque. This is less than the 400 Nm torque offered with the diesel, but since the price tag is $6,500 less, you will need to assess whether you require the extra grunt.
The diesel option offers very frugal fuel economy of 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres. So, in comparison, this petrol option does seem a little thirsty at 9.9 litres per 100 kilometres. However, with a braked tow capacity ...
... of 1588 kilograms, you will get plenty of pulling power for the extra consumption. Even if you are carrying a decent load, you will find the petrol variant compliant and responsive.

Value:
While there is competition from the Indian and Chinese budget brands, with their slightly smaller price tags, they lack the cabin quality offered on the Nissan NP300 Navara for sale.
The cabin is neatly presented with a decent media system offering phone pairing. There is also lots of handy storage options including dash bins, large bottle holders, door pockets and storage boxes. There is also a good space hidden behind the seats where the jack is neatly stored.
The standard equipment list is very comprehensive and includes cruise control, electronic stability control, steering wheel mounted controls, USB, Bluetooth connectivity and audio streaming, 12 volt outlets and seven airbags.

Maintenance:
Nissan offers the Navara NP300 with a 100,000 kilometre, three year warranty. Three years roadside assistance is also included. The model is also included in the Nissan capped price service program. The service intervals are 10,000 kilometres or every twelve months. The average cost per service visit is $313 for the first 50,000 kilometres or five years. This makes ownership costs very reasonable compared to others in the segment.
