It’s a well-known fact that Nissan produces some of the best pick-ups around and the latest version, which is limited to just 400 units, is guaranteed to be quite a catch.

The Nissan Navara Trek-1°, priced at £35,065, is a special version of the double cab model, which is based on the award-winning Tekna grade.

Power comes from a 2.3-litre dCi 190 diesel engine, which offers fuel economy figures of 44.9mpg for the six-speed manual and 40.1mpg for the seven-speed automatic, with carbon emissions of either 167g/km or 186g/km depending on the transmission. All versions offer ‘on-demand’ four-wheel-drive as standard.

The Trek-1° costs £3,435 more than a top-spec Navara Tekna model, but for that additional outlay there are a number of useful extras such as black sport styling bars with two forward-facing LED spot lamps attached to the top section. It also features black side styling bars, black 18-inch six-spoke alloy wheels and a new load bed cover. Made from high-grade durable plastic and finished in black or white, the load bed cover is hinged at the end closest to the cab and lifts easily using a single gas strut at either side.

This cover offers added security, allowing valuables to be secured from view. Beneath the cover is a load bed divider and liner which helps keep items secure during transportation.

As with all Navara double cab models, the Trek-1° is fitted with multi-link rear suspension plus a number of safety technologies including forward emergency braking, hill descent control, vehicle dynamic control and hill start assist.

The Navara Trek-1° also has the NissanConnect infotainment system with sat nav and DAB digital radio, a 360 degree around-view monitor, leather seats, heated front seats with eight-way adjustment on the driver’s side, plus rear parking sensors and a full-sized spare wheel.

And for anyone curious about the name, the Trek-1° designation comes from the geographical location of the Navarre desert in northern Spain – at -1° longitude.
