Overview
The 2025 Nissan Navara is a midsize pickup truck that distinguishes itself in the Philippine market with its unique multi-link rear suspension — the only pickup in its class to offer car-like ride comfort instead of the typical leaf spring setup. Powered by a 2.5L YD25DDTi diesel engine producing 187 hp and an impressive 450 Nm of torque, the Navara delivers more power than most competitors and shares its engine with the Nissan Terra SUV. The Nissan Navara price Philippines range of ₱1,240,000 to ₱2,240,000 spans four variants, from the workhorse EL 4x2 MT to the adventure-ready Pro-4X 4x4 AT with its distinctive orange accents and off-road styling. The 7-speed automatic on VE, VL, and Pro-4X provides smooth expressway shifting, while autonomous emergency braking (AEB) comes standard on VE and above. The Navara competes directly with the Ford Ranger, Toyota Hilux, and Mitsubishi Strada, but its multi-link suspension and segment-leading torque make it the most comfortable pickup for families who need a truck for both daily expressway commuting and weekend hauling.
Expressway Driving Review
The Nissan Navara offers the smoothest expressway ride of any pickup truck in the Philippines, and the difference is immediately noticeable. The multi-link rear suspension absorbs expansion joints, rough patches, and uneven toll plaza surfaces with a composure that leaf-spring pickups simply cannot match — passengers in the rear seat actually ride in comfort rather than bouncing over every imperfection. The 2.5L diesel delivers 450 Nm of torque, the highest in the mainstream pickup class, making overtaking on NLEX, SLEX, and TPLEX completely effortless even at full highway speed. The 7-speed automatic on VE and above keeps engine RPM low and relaxed at 100 km/h cruise, contributing to a quieter cabin than the typical pickup. At 80-100 km/h on expressways, expect 12-14 km/L on diesel — and with diesel pricing roughly ₱10/L cheaper than gasoline, the per-kilometer cost is approximately ₱3.90-4.60. AEB on VE, VL, and Pro-4X adds a safety net for expressway driving, though the absence of adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist means the driver carries the full workload on long trips. The pickup profile generates noticeable wind noise above 100 km/h, but the Navara's cabin insulation manages this better than most competitors.
