Which 2021 Nissan Navara color suits you best?

As one of if not the eagerly anticipated vehicle the year it came out back in 2015, the latest generation Nissan NP300 Navara pickup was an immediate hit. More than five years on, the Japanese-made truck is much improved with more power, more torque, better suspension, and more advanced technologies than ever.

Aside from the usuals you can expect from a pickup of renowned stature such as the Navara, Nissan spices up the options for pickup buyers with five excellent color choices perfect for different workhorse uses.

Savanna Orange

The Nissan Navara’s signature color is a trendy one. Savanna Orange is a great option for those who plan to flaunt their pickup to great effect. That said, orange tends to be a color favored by fickle individuals, and studies suggest that owners of orange-hued vehicles don’t plan on owning them for the long term.

Alpine White

Alpine conjures up images of the icy mountaintops, where one imagines it’s the only visible color for miles and miles of terrain. It’s a great contrast color if you are frequent off-roader, so for those who like to camp out and trek to the jungle and mountains, an Alpine White Nissan NP300 Navara ensures your truck will be easy to spot from afar.

Galaxy Black

The beauty of black is that it manages to be elegant without being flashy. As the color of sophistication, depth and mystery, owning a black vehicle gives off the impression that you’re someone who’s more than meets the eye. Increasingly, black has also become the color of sportiness, that’s why you’ll see many sport editions of vehicles decked in blacked-out accoutrements.

That said, you may want to avoid this color if you tend to frequent the highways between dusk and dawn. Despite the many advancements in safety, there’s still many risks on the road out there, and a black pickup is harder to spot at sun down compared to lighter colors. In fact, studies have shown that black vehicles are the most prone to vehicular accidents on the road. This is certainly something worth pondering on, especially if you’re seriously eyeing a Galaxy Black Navara.

Brilliant Silver

For those who want to wear their classy taste on their sleeve, there’s the Brilliant Silver NP300 Navara for you. Silver is a color often used to portray futurism. Likewise, it’s also the color of traditional elegance.  As such, those in a Brilliant Silver Navara may want to present themselves as someone with timeless tastes. Silver is also a practical color for a pickup truck, as it hides dust and dirt well.

Earth Brown

For those who want to be one with nature, only an Earth Brown NP300 Navara will do. As for the personality it conveys, brown is a favorite among individuals with a down-to-earth and no-nonsense attitude.
