“Since launched in 2008, Navara is well-known for its synonym as the “Mother” of all pickup trucks in Malaysia. With class leading features, Navara continues to sell beyond expectations from year to year and having garnered many prestigious awards and recognitions globally. We are confident that Navara will continue to increase Nissan market share in the SUT-Segment.” – Dato’ Dr Ang Bon Beng, Executive Director, ETCM

“This is the closest competing segment ever. Most of the trucks have taken the similar approach of styling their interior to resemble those of sedans. However, I personally view that the truck’s loading capacity is the utmost aspect of all. In this case, Nissan Navara has simply outperformed the other contenders.” – Mr. Bobby Ang, Managing Editor, Live Life Drive by Wheels Weekly
