2024 Nissan Navara Summary

Judging by the latest VFacts new vehicle registration data, most Aussie 4x4 ute buyers continue to overlook the D23 Nissan Navara.

With only a 4.5 per cent share of this booming market segment, its sales numbers are perhaps a symptom of its age (launched locally in 2015), lapsed ANCAP rating and some early design glitches, which although sorted long ago may still taint buying decisions.

We recently tested the D23 in base-model SL grade, to assess its workhorse appeal for tradies and farmers alike.

2024 Toyota HiLux Summary

Since its launch in the 1960s, the iconic HiLux has been one of Toyota’s strongest-selling models. The current eighth-generation continues that tradition, even though now in its ninth year in local showrooms and having lost its long-held 4x4 sales leadership to Ford’s Ranger.

Toyota has done a commendable job in keeping the HiLux looking fresh since its local launch in 2015, with numerous cosmetic/equipment updates and the addition of prestige models like the wide-track Rogue and performance-enhanced GR Sport.

The 4x4 HiLux’s latest upgrade is the first use of Toyota's new 'V-Active' 48V technology, which provides electric assistance to the diesel engine. Toyota claims improved fuel efficiency, acceleration and smoothness, along with enhanced off-road prowess. We recently put one to the test to see how it measures up from a tradie’s perspective.
