Nissan NP300 Hardbody
Nissan’s NP300 Hardbody is about as honest as bakkies get. Forget about plush cabins or fancy infotainment—this is a bakkie that cares about payload, not playlists. It’s gunning directly at the Toyota Hilux workhorse, Isuzu’s base D-Max, and those hardworking old-shape Ford Ranger XLs. Engine choices don’t stray from the basics: 2.0-litre or 2.4-litre petrols, and the 2.5 TDi diesel, all partnered with manual gearboxes. You’ll only find eight used listings right now, priced between R149,900 and R254,500. On paper at least, with a median sticker around R179,925, most examples are entry-level diesels or barebones petrols, not the higher-spec 4x4s. Model years stretch from 2001 to 2019, and the average odometer reading sits at 175,733 km. You’d better factor in a thorough mechanical once-over. The 2.5 TDi Hi-Rider double cab pops up the most around R179,900 to R209,000 and stands out for its combination of ride height and diesel torque at a sensible price. Want a 4x4? That’ll set you back R254,500, and that leap is all about genuine off-road chops. Buyers here aren’t seduced by badge snobbery—they’re after low running costs and simple mechanics, which is exactly what the Hardbody delivers. No new models are coming, so if you want one, used is your only ticket. For many, that’s the point.
Nissan
Nissan’s place in the South African car scene is a curious one. It’s not chasing the cutthroat budget crowd, but you won’t catch anyone calling it premium either. What Nissan does well is offer options for the buyers everyone else seems to forget — the folks who need a bakkie that won’t complain about Monday jobs in Midrand, or a starter SUV that doesn’t break the bank in Benoni. With 250 used models on the market, from a wallet-friendly R64,500 to a punchy R769,900 and a median at R219,500, you’re looking at a brand that actually covers the real-world spectrum of SA motoring. Not a single new car in sight, though. It’s a symptom of Nissan’s current silence on the new-model front — so punters are trading what’s already out there, and who can blame them? The NP200 is the crowd-pleaser here, with 58 examples running between R84,900 and R264,900. It’s what the NP200 should have been from the start — a no-nonsense, recognizable workhorse you can spot outside any Joburg tile shop. The Navara, stretching to R769,900, wants to play in the same sandpit as Ranger and Hilux, but it needs to offer more than just a different badge if it hopes to convince anyone. Magnite starts at R188,500, so if you pack smart, you’re in a compact SUV for less than many rivals ask for a hatch. Qashqai and X-Trail mop up the upper end, but SUVs are the clear favourite here, with petrol still king. Nissan’s real win is the sheer mix across price points — and for South Africans hunting honest value, that matters.
