CarExpert's Take
- Noticeably more efficient in the city
- Smooth idle stop-start operation
- Retains 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity
- Stop-start tech can be fickle
- Bouncy and firm unladen ride
- Ageing interior design
- Beefed-up looks
- Unique against the competition
- Australian DNA
- Heavy steering
- Old and uninviting interior
- Quite expensive for a ute

Reviews
While it may have a silly name, the top-selling HiLux ute is now available with mild-hybrid tech that's claimed to improve fuel consumption.
Jack Quick
Nissan's flagship ute has a little Australian spice sprinkled in, but is it worth it when there's a new one around the corner?
