Nissan Navara 2023 interior

Our most recent review of the 2023 Nissan Navara resulted in a score of 6 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Editor - Adventure Marcus Craft had this to say at the time: Nissan has read the room well with its SL Warrior.  This ute has all the great qualities of its more expensive stablemate (the Pro-4X Warrior) – impressive locally-engineered upgrades that deliver improved off-road ability across the board – but it’s $10,000 cheaper. 

You can read the full review here.

This is what Marcus Craft liked most about this particular version of the Nissan Navara: Looks good, Capable off-road, Not too shabby on-road

The Nissan Navara is also known as the Nissan Frontier (North America), the Nissan NP300 (Mexico and the Europe) in markets outside Australia.

Nissan Navara 2023 Q&As

Check out real-world situations relating to the Nissan Navara here, particularly what our experts have to say about them.

• What's the best heavy-duty clutch to use in my 2018 Nissan Navara?

  There are plenty of brands around in the aftermarket that claim to offer better performance and durability. Stick with a known brand and perhaps contact your local four-wheel-drive club or off-road specialist for specific brand advice. Somebody in the club is bound to have a Navara with an upgraded clutch.

  The good news is that there are local manufacturers that can provide a heavy-duty clutch for your vehicle, so staying local is probably a good idea if there are any issues or questions down the track. Even better news is that for the NP300 Navara, Nissan switched from a dual-mass to a single-mass flywheel. This means you can fit a heavy-duty clutch kit without having to replace the flywheel itself, saving money. Don't forget to closely check the condition of the flywheel, however, as it may require machining for the new clutch to work properly.

  Towing and off-roading place immense loads on a clutch, and this is a common upgrade for those who use their vehicles in this way.

• My 2006 Nissan Navara D40 2.5 diesel is stuck in third gear

  Honestly, this problem could be caused by anything from a transmission that is worn out to one that is simply low on fluid. It could even be caused by a bad earth somewhere on the car or something as simple as a blown fuse.

  You need to take the vehicle to a workshop that can electronically scan the vehicle and hopefully turn up a fault code that will pin-point the problem. Without doing this, you're simply guessing at what the problem might be and will end up replacing parts you didn't need to.

• I am changing over my old Navara D22 and considering a Ssangyong Musso Ultimate. Should I take a risk on a Musso?

  My experience has generally been that Ssangyong is a brand with decent reliability. Many people think it’s a Chinese brand, but it’s actually a South Korean company. And when you look at the other South Korean car-makers we see here – Hyundai and Kia – you can see that the country makes some fine vehicles with great reliability and durability.

  You’re right about that warranty, too; at seven years of factory cover, it’s one of the best (if not the best) in the business. You’re also right about the relative value-for-money equation. The Ssangyong seems like a lot of vehicle for the money.

  Perhaps the only thing that might make you think twice would be the supply of spare and service parts. That said, in 2022, that problem is afflicting a lot of mainstream companies and volume sellers as well as the smaller brands. And from what I can gather, this problem is a bigger one for the Chinese brands than some of the others.

  A Musso has a towing capacity of 3500kg (with a braked trailer) so a 1200kg caravan should not trouble it one bit. Take the Musso for a test drive and decide for yourself, but we reckon, after a D22 Navara, you’ll be amazed at how good a modern dual-cab ute can be at this price-point.

• When the fuel light is on in the 2014 Nissan Navara, how many litres of fuel are left in the tank?

  The only thing more unreliable than a low-fuel warning light is the on-board computer that gives you a distance-to-empty kilometre figure. The problem with the latter is that the figure will differ enormously depending on your driving style at the time. For instance, the computer, a highway trip might, suggest you have 100km left in the tank. But once you hit the outer suburbs and switch to stop-start driving, that number could be as little as half the figure flashing on the dashboard.

  As a rule of thumb, car-makers tend to calibrate the fuel-warning light to come on somewhere between 100 and 50km before you actually run dry. But it’s still a stab in the dark, and really not worth pushing your luck.

  To get the most accurate feel for what the fuel-warning light is really telling you, here’s our advice: Fill the car to and absolute brim. A 2014 Navara holds either 75 or 80 litres of fuel, depending on specification. Then, the next time the fuel light flashes on, pull into the first service station and fill it to the brim again. That will give you a pretty accurate idea of the umber of litres you’ve used from filling up to the point where the light switches on. Then, you can subtract those litres from the tank’s capacity to arrive at how much was left in the tank.

The standard features list in the Nissan Navara SL Warrior includes a 8.0-inch multimedia touch-screen (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), AEB, and a rear diff-lock.

But what's more interesting is the fact that Premcar, the Melbourne-based vehicle-engineering mob responsible for making Nissan’s Warrior program a success, has added more than a claimed $11,000 worth of goodies to the SL Warrior including a Navara-branded black bash plate at the front, an off-road coated bullbar with hoops and integrated LED light bar, fender flares, suspension lift, Warrior wheels and all-terrain tyres (Cooper Discoverer AT3s, LT (Light Truck) 275/70R17), a tubliner, and a towbar.

It misses out on quite a lot of driver-assist tech including a surround-view monitor (with moving object detection), Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Lane Intervention, Blind Spot Warning, Blind Spot Intervention, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, Drive Mode Selector, and Off Road Monitor.
