Nissan Navara 2.5L 4×2 EL 7AT Calibre (2015) vs Nissan NV350 Urvan Cargo (2015): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer deciding between the 2015 Nissan Navara 2.5L 4×2 EL 7AT Calibre and the 2015 Nissan NV350 Urvan Cargo, the Navara is the better choice if you need a work‑horse with higher performance and a more versatile cabin. Priced at ₱1,171,000, it costs only ₱13,000 more than the Urvan, but delivers 163 PS and 403 Nm of torque, compared with the Urvan’s 129 PS and 356 Nm. The Navara’s 7‑speed automatic with manual mode also offers smoother highway cruising than the Urvan’s 5‑speed manual. Its body‑on‑frame pickup design provides a larger cargo bed and the ability to carry up to five people (2 + 3 seats), making it suitable for small‑business owners who haul goods and occasionally transport passengers. The Urvan, priced at ₱1,158,000, is a pure cargo van with a single seating row for three, and its dimensions (5.08 m L × 1.70 m W × 2.29 m H) give more enclosed volume for bulk items, but it lacks the power and transmission refinement of the Navara. Both carry the same 3‑year/100,000 km warranty and are discontinued, so after‑sales support may be limited. Choose the Navara for higher power, better drivability and mixed passenger‑cargo use; choose the Urvan only if you need a dedicated, larger‑capacity cargo enclosure and can accept lower power and a manual gearbox.
