1996 Nissan Safari

The 1993 Nissan Safari Granroad is a mountain-taming brute disguised as a luxury cruiser. Built for the wild but refined for the road, it’s a no-nonsense off-roader with old-school charm and unstoppable capability. Powered by a torquey 4.2-liter inline-six diesel (TD42), it’s a mechanical masterpiece known for reliability and endurance. Body-on-frame toughness, solid axles front and rear, and a proper 4WD system with low-range gearing make it fearless in terrain that would leave modern SUVs stranded. Inside, it balances rugged utility with surprising comfort — plush seating, wood trim, and thoughtful touches that elevate long hauls and backcountry adventures alike. The Granroad spec adds a touch of sophistication to its brawler bones. It’s not fast. It’s not flashy. But when the pavement ends, the Safari begins.
