2021 Nissan Navara VE Calibre 4x2 7-AT - Pick-Up Review

The updated 2021 Nissan Navara was launched in the Philippines earlier this year. Can this pick-up be better without all the nice features and kit? Vince takes out the 2021 Nissan Navara VE Calibre 4x2 for a full review to see if it meets his very stringent criteria.

Best review. Straightforward, thorough and honest. Thank you

[@alfredmag-aso3842]

Good review! Good mid spec navara! Can you also the isuzu dmax LS-A 4x2 AT.

[@Tatay-Mong-Kalbo]

Nice review as usual. I have the 2019 4x2 EL Calibre AT. I would love to have those quad LEDs and that new steering wheel on my unit but over all, I am still very satisfied with what I have. This new 4x2 Calibre is a lot more expensive (around 200K) than the previous iteration but my older unit has roof rails, the 360 degree camera, 18 inch tires, and all that. Surely, there are a lot of new features here and there but the previous model is still a lot of value for money. Over all, you can't go wrong with the Nissan Navara, especially in terms of comfort + functionality.

[@redacted7793]

yea but you cant see the reverse camera and the 360 degree camera properly in the older EL since it shows up in the rear view mirror not in the infotainment system, smaller objects will be harder to spot especially if you have poor eyesight

[@Tatay-Mong-Kalbo]

@@redacted7793 you must have very poor eyesight then. I wear glasses but they have helped me so many times, especially when entering and going out of parking areas. Plus, having the said aid or technology is a God-send, even on mid range Navara models, previously. And like I said before, - "over all, you can't go wrong with the Nissan Navara, especially in terms of comfort + functionality." -- that pertains to the current model and the one before it.

[@redacted7793]

@@Tatay-Mong-Kalbo yea but its just a backup, i'd still love to have it on the new navara ve tho idk why they removed it they didnt even add the 360 cam to the 2022 terra ve but they added it to the almera ve 2022, even tho the feature would be way more helpful in the terra than in the almera since the terra is huge but still at least theres the reverse camera which would make reverse parking way easier plus arent 17 inch tires better than 18 inch in terms of comfortability

[@Tatay-Mong-Kalbo]

@@redacted7793 I'd say they are pretty much the same (17 or 18), in terms of comfort. In terms of practicality, if you are one of those who like their cars without any modifications, like me, having a 17-inch tire is easier on the pocket when it's time to replace them compared with my 18s.

[@michaelcruz4317]

Sir vince, may I ask what did you noticed with the 3rd and 4th gear box of this truck especially during city rides? Thanks.

[@indarapatrasuleiman5869]

Hello sir may mai-suggest ba kayo pickup 4x2 pang business at pang daily? Preferrably may cruise control kasi from qc to bulacan palagi yung byahe ko kaso di ko alam kung kailangan ko nun. Di ako makapili sa sobrang competitive ng market mga ser. I’m considering the navara kaso maliit daw cargo load

[@sefisredtv8991]

Does the coil springs really make a difference compared to standard leaf springs?

[@petergwen7548]

Ok na ba ung issue sa rock and pinion ng navara?

[@ArcherArios22]

Oh, they removed the 360 camera integrated to the rear view mirror?

[@jed1knyts997]

One thing i notice with car reviews is the lack of after-sales review. We can argue that it may differ on dealerships, but for the vehicle in general, why aren't reviewers providing that vital info to help buyers decide? Say the navara vs. ranger question. I've heard bad stories from ford ranger customers because of frequent issues, plus expensive maintenance costs. Maybe reviewers should start gathering these data as well, at least based from the previous model as a reference. Nonetheless, fun review as usual, more power to you

[@boykaliwete3049]

@jed1knyt S providing after sales review from these car reviewers means the end of all car reviews🤣. Or they might end up reviewing kuliglig made from Nueva Ecija🤣🤣🤣

[@jed1knyts997]

@@boykaliwete3049 true! but whichever reviewer to first have the balls to do it shall be crowned the PH GOAT car reviewer. No point reviewing if there are reservations. Need ng manufacturers at dealers makarinig ng hard truth, para din sa improvement ng services nila

[@rhamlay8806]

Which do you prefer? Hilux G or Navara VE?

[@zizahehezah4955]

NICE

[@autoindustriya]

Thanks

[@michaelcruz4317]

I think Nissan focused more this time on the functionality of the truck and by doing so, driving comfort was a bit compromised as well as for some of the features from the old navarra. But over all, i believe Navarra is still the best in terms of driving comfort among the pick up truck lines and the new design is a whole lot better especially looking at the front grill. It would have been much better if instead of chrome, they should have painted it with Matt black, same with the pro 4x. WOuld you agree Sir Vince?

[@autoindustriya]

Indeed I would agree

[@jay-arjimenez9635]

Good day sir Vince. I have been a subscriber to your youtube channel since last year or early this year. I know that you have a 2020 Nissan Navara VL 4x4 AT. You may be getting tired of this question, but I am planning to buy a pick-up, and my choices have been narrowed down to a Ranger Wildtrak or a Navara. Which do you prefer

[@vcpornelos]

Hi Jay-Ar. Don't worry, it's fine. Actually you already answered that question: I picked the Navara based on my circumstances. Your case may be different though. Ford may have a better deal, or you may prefer the Ford outright. Maybe even the location of the Ford dealer is closer to you. All these things factor in. So weigh it up. Most importantly: test drive both :)

[@jay-arjimenez9635]

@@vcpornelos thank you sir for taking the time to reply. One of my circumstances is that I go to my farm every weekend, meaning I ferry cargo going to and coming from the farm. Since Navaras have coil spring suspensions in the rear, and while their counterparts have leaf spring suspensions, then taking this into consideration, which do you suggest me buying? I have test driven a Navara, but not yet with a Ranger.

[@vcpornelos]

@@jay-arjimenez9635 either one is good. Navara has improved cargo rating compared to 2020 and older. Ranger has been good naman.

Dual rate coil spring makes the ride slightly stiffer compared to before.

Can you do a review of a nissan terra el

[@billgon]

Very informative review. I like the features and it is almost loaded for its price. I'm a bit surprised of not having bedliner. How much the bedliner costs? Would you know if there's ISOFIX tethers?

[@autoindustriya]

Yes there are tether points. You can spot the anchor point buttons on the rear seats. As for bedliner, we're not quite sure about the pricing.

[@johnjeremiahpuno2359]

Nissan Terra Base EL MT or the VE At please. Thanks you in advance.

[@redacted7793]

pick the VE since the 2021 EL is dogsh*t compared to the older EL, it doesn't have a reverse camera that the VE has, 360 degree camera that the older EL variants have, the intelligent emergency breaking that the VE has, slower engine compared to the VE a/t and the VE 4x4 M/t, u lose the infotainment system, and the dual zone automatic climate control you also lose the LED headlights... so imo u should try to get the VE 4x2 M/T if you don't have enough money for the A/T the only difference between VE a/t and VE m/t 4x2 is the engine, the VE a/t 4x2 is equipped with better version of the 2.5L engine, while the VE m/t 4x2 is equipped with the same 2.5L engine the older navara's have
