MANILA, Philippines - The Nissan Navara, the country’s first and only Sport Utility Truck, added yet another feather to its already colorful cap when it bagged the Best Pickup trophy in the 5th Annual C! Awards held recently at the One Esplanade, making it the second consecutive win for the esteemed vehicle from the prestigious magazine. On hand to receive the award was the Executive Vice President for Marketing and Sales, Elizabeth H.

Only on its second year, the Nissan Navara continues to reap both mass and critical acclaim for its full suite of high performance features and unbeatable value proposition that has changed the landscape of the pickup segment in the local market today. It is the only pickup that features 6-speed manual transmission, possesses the most torque and power in its class and the only one with a unique 8 crossmember ladder-type frame plus a full sized cargo and cabin.

With the Nissan Navara’s class-leading performance and dimensions, it is not merely a workhorse truck but a lifestyle pickup that is fully equipped with the creature comforts and styling of an SUV. Comprehensively outfitted and meticulously engineered to combine the best of both pickup truck and SUV, the Nissan Navara can easily give most SUVs a run for their money.
