NISSAN has completed its Navara family with the princely King Cab which opened its rear-hinged, rear doors for the first time at last week's Barcelona Motor Show. It will join the Navara Double Cab (first shown at the Geneva Show in March) in Nissan GB's showrooms in August, their joint aim to make the Navara ruler of the UK's rapidly expanding pick-up market.

And, like its predecessor, the new Navara benefits from a tried and tested four-wheel drive system to ensure grip under all conditions: little wonder that the outgoing Pickup was such a favourite with the farming and construction industries.

While those traditional pick-up buyers are expected to appreciate Navara's 'go anywhere, do anything' qualities, the newcomer's higher levels of comfort, quality and refinement are also expected to attract playtime users who can use the combination of four-wheel drive and a versatile load area to go skiing or snowboarding in the winter and sailing or windsurfing in the summer.
