Nissan Navara SE 2.5 AT vs V 2.5 AT
Verdict
The Navara V asks RM11,200 more than the SE, and mechanically you are not buying a faster or bigger truck: both use the same 2,488 cc diesel with 187 hp and 450 Nm, conventional automatic gearbox and AWD, with the same 5,260 mm length and 3,150 mm wheelbase. The real spend is safety. V gets six airbags and auto emergency braking; SE has two airbags and no AEB. For a Malaysian buyer carrying five people, that is the clearest reason to stretch.
Pick the Nissan Navara SE 2.5 AT if you want the same 187 hp/450 Nm AWD diesel hardware and can accept two airbags and no AEB to save RM11,200.
Pick the Nissan Navara V 2.5 AT if six airbags and auto emergency braking matter more than keeping the price down.
