Nissan Philippines Incorporated recently flew us all the way to Ilocos Norte to try out the capabilities of their recently-launched NP300 Navara.

Exterior The NP300 Navara stands tough and is very masculine up front. Dimensions-wise, the top-tier Navara is now longer, wider, and taller than its previous generation. Its tires are geared with 18-inch rims and make the all-new Navara stand its ground with authority. Fuel efficiency We did a mini eco-run challenge to get a feel of how the NP300 Navara is efficient in fuel consumption. Performance on Sand Dunes The top of the line Navara carries a 2.5-liter turbo diesel engine that coughs up 190 horses at 3,600rpm and 450 Newton meters of torque at 2,000 rpm. This resulted to us being tossed around while on uneven surfaces but the safety belts conveniently strapped us to our seats.[/caption] Also, considering that we were using stock tires that were meant for road, the Navara was able to conquer all the uphill and still maintained aggressive traction against sand.
