Mitsubishi L200 vs Nissan Navara

Nissan has tweaked the Navara pick-up to give it better on-road manners and a more refined interior. How does it fare against its Mitsubishi L200 rival?...

Mitsubishi L200 vs Nissan Navara

Our Verdict

Against the wider SUV class, neither of these pick-ups can claim to be near the top, but next to their direct peers, they both stand out.

Mitsubishi’s L200 is decent to drive: its strong engine and relatively decent handling are both impressive. However, Nissan has moved the game on with the Navara. It’s not as sharp to drive, but it feels more comfortable, refined, spacious and luxurious. The fact that it can tow more and its load bay is more practical seals the win.

For something more conventional...
