2022 Nissan Navara/Frontier on/off-road review

[@autonewstv86]

I had never considered a Navara myself. I thought, what this vehicle needs is a 17% bigger grille. And just like that, my prayers have been answered. Hallelujah.

[@callumfreebairn8082]

See. Anything's possible mate.

[@callumfreebairn8082]

good move nissan

[@rayzor07]

I have a 2017 Navara, and I have been happy with it to this very day after all these years. Yes, I wish that the interior could have been better along with a better rearview camera but those are my only issues. The car still sounds and drives as solid as the day I bought it. I have never regretted buying it and will probably drive it until it falls apart. Never had any issues(mechanical or electrical) at all after all these years. It still brings a smile to my face every day that I get into it.

[@nelsonbett9677]

Seriously and honestly,I have never and will never skip this videos because u really make important informations.Your car reviews are great,one skip and boom you slightly miss an important information.Great review

[@matthewlewis702]

I was always anti Navara until I seen the Warrior, mainly because of what they did to the Suspension and all the additional touches they did do it, the Cooper tyres with spare especially! I test drove one, and fell in love right away with it, so much so that I ended up buying it. The inside is nothing special, but its spacious and comfortable, due to the coiled rear, its quite and the fuel consumption, on mine anyway, averages 7.8L/100km, so bloody good with the extras that are on it, and that is around town driving! Once off road, or on the sand it obviously changes! But the inside doesn't need to be special, its a 4X4 ute, hard plastic surfaces are easy to clean!!! What I am trying to say is, don't dismiss something based off what you see at first, experience it, then judge it. People will still be anti Navara and they are probably right in their own opinion, but Ive owned the Ranger, mkII, Triton, current face lifted version, and the Navara Warrior definitely wins ... I do sometimes miss my Ranger though!!!

[@g.r.2985]

[@trentp5762]

I picked mine up late Feb, I'm at 1800kms now.. I like it.... It's a well rounded car that doesn't really excel in any specific area but is fit for purpose. I do like the new styling. Although annoyingly the tub design changed & canopy options aren't looking to be available for some time yet.

Nissan don’t listen to their customers. It could’ve been a great UTE.

[@hedydd2]

I agree. Stop stamping holes in the chassis and paint it properly, give it full time 4X4 and drop the piano black trim inside a longer cabin and they have a winner. Not too much to ask, surely? While they are at it with the full time 4X4, why not equip it with their new Mercedes 9 G-Tronic transmission, which Nissan build under license, along with the two speed transfer case off the GLS? They could do it, add a couple of three grand on to the price and they would have something unique to sell and I bet it would fly out of the dealer's doors.

[@benf3996]

Well Nissan is in financial trouble now. Could go bust in 5 years if they dont do a turn around.

Trying to track one down now 😁

[@williamparry6733]

5:55 I bought the 2020 ST Nissan Navara in December and by March I had a catastrophic electrical breakdown which conked out all AC controls, turns off TSC randomly and tries to engage the diff lock. On top of that it locks into park when ever I put it in park requiring me to jam my key into the shift lock on the console whenever I get back in to knock it into reverse or drive. Nissan has it at its service centre right now (7th of May) and have had it for the last 5 weeks and can’t find the problem but have managed to replicate the issue. NOW say they will replace it for a new one (maybe the one in this review). So reliability so far is not great but I’m hoping it was just a one off dud...

[@phonicfrog_]

Hi Paul, Thanks for the review. Few comments - I previously owned a 2015 series 1 NP300 & it's honestly disappointing to see not much has changed since the first incarnation. Personally, I experienced several issues with my Navara - rust on chassis welds, paper thin paint that easily damaged, seat foam collapsed, engine pulleys whining. The list goes on. I agree with your comments & Nissan really had an opportunity to make this car great again. Yes, it has added safety tech but thats honestly it. I see they have removed parts from the dash (cup holders in dash, centre tray on dash also, removal of 12v sockets too). Further, that dash is just garbage. Why no soft touch upgrades! All those finer touches like you pointed out too like rubber grips in drink holders etc, just really highlights how lazy Nissan are. Final point, Nissan had a chance to listen to their customers & put in upgrades to lure back Ranger/Hilux buyers. I can tell you now, this update will not do that. Thanks for the review Paul

[@CarExpertAus]

Thanks for the feedback Danny - always good to hear from owners!

[@andyli5611]

It copies Ranger's Saber wildtrak colour, now the Raptor's conquer grey, and tailgate assist and big grille. Has the steering been lighten up ? Still hydraulic? How is the turning circle now When do 3 points turn? Still non-HD camera?

[@土領]

Dear paul, i honestly love you voice reviews and shown clearly all deep points. And i hope fully you add more about brake testing. It is the most safety all car need. Please please

[@jacsbac]

I've had two STX's in the last 5 yrs and absolutely love them, but noticed the styling changes arent that great on the 2021 model. Especially on the dash where they have removed the 12volt outlet that was positioned directly under the rear mirror. it also served as a storage option for your phone or glasses as it was a tray moulded into the dash. Also noticed the 12volt outlet in the tub isn't there. I normally do 30k kms a year and my fuel economy always site around 7.6 - 8L/100 I am impressed with the off-road mode

[@pigeonpoo1823]

I'd like to recommend you change /add to the Australian Coat of Arms...... A Ute. Keep up the great work

[@CarExpertAus]

😅

[@TheWizEdFromAus]

I'm actually shattered. Had been waiting for a few more ute manufacturers to release refrshed models as I'm looking to buy one. Navara was on my radar but I can't look past the fact the interior looks like the older model. The outside look really good but you spend time inside the car so that was what I was looking forward to. Unfortunately no longer on my short list. D-max is still winning it for me so far the Musso isn't bad either but the whole bankruptcy thing kinda worries me and I have no interest in purchasing anything Chinese ATM.

[@Buddy89538]

I just purchased a series 4 2020 STX & I’m wondering why they removed the above dash storage and drink holders under the air con vents in the 2021 model! Huge loss! Otherwise this has exactly the same interior. There’s more safety distractions in this new build but hardly noticeable between models. There’s definitely more comforts for the passengers in the back in this new model but unless you’re constantly carting kids around no one goes back there anyway! The Few little tweaks won’t be missed between my 2020 STX and the 2021.

[@pukavita]

Why don't we get the American styled Nissan? Why does Australia always get the crappiest version of everything?

[@Will-nb8qk]

I had the 2008 stx lol. Never any issues, was a great car that had heaps of grunt for a 4cylinder turbo diesel. Looking at going back so appreciate the review.

[@alantaylor6744]

I own a current Navara STX (5 years old) which I am looking to replace. It has been a good vehicle so I went to look at the "new" Navara and when I sat in it, as Paul said, apart from the steering wheel and seats it is exactly the same. My new car will not be another Navara

[@angusnz7910]

I know it’s a hated piece of kit by the aussies, but I replaced my old D40 450 after 6 years trouble free with a Merc 4cyl (couldn’t afford the 6 🤨). I know it’s a navara in drag so wasn’t fooled, I drove them back to back and went Merc for 1 thing only...refinement. For 2 utes supposedly the same the Merc was heaps quieter and NVH was far superior to the Navara. Plus Merc had got scared and dropped pricing to match which made it a win. It’s only 18 months old but I don’t expect this ‘Nissan’ to be anything less than 100% reliable like my last one. They may not have the following of a Ranger, but for the average Joe I reckon they are under rated things Sorry, one negative...what the ferk is with the one coffee cup holder!! Very un German decision that was

[@CarExpertAus]

You’re right about the refinement - they put some effort into making the Benz very quiet out on the road!

[@kreamypie]

How come they didnt add any grab handles on the front driver side 🤦‍♂️. I guess they expect people to grab onto the steering wheel then

[@disguy145]

Nissan needs to hire someone else to design their vehicle interior. They should have done that years ago...

[@MiggyMndza]

Lol Paul it's not always about the figures, yes the Ford now has 500Nm of torque with the new engine but how's reliability? The Toyota also has one with the newly tuned 2.8 liter engine but how come the D-Max hits 100km/h faster than that engine? I say this new Navara is definitely something despite the carried over engine that's proven to be great as well, despite not yet having 200+hp or 500Nm of torque. Though I love how comprehensive this review is again, will definitely look forward for your future reviews.

[@matthegarty7822]

Hi Paul - quick one. I’m a weekend warrior, mostly using the ute to cart kids bikes around, beach gear, odd camping trip - no towing or carrying heavy loads etc. so for me, biggest thing would be comfort when driving around with an empty tub. I’m torn between this and the new BT50... which do you think would be ‘smoother’?

[@jamieshields9521]

I have 2011 Navara king cab with 185,000kms, the only problem I had is engine needs regular servicing to avoid stalling but has been reliable n works for what I do. For $58,000 it doesn’t stack up against competition especially with interior quality, design is better but I reckon D40 look more like F truck like. Towing or carrying load with automatic is better then Ranger with manual, even soft rear suspension. I wouldn’t mind new Navara but Mitsubishi is definitely worth looking at for value. If Nissan brought Titan here I definitely buy it for more capability but not at $80k.

[@dumisanimaseko1417]

The interior is letting us down... I love the look and design it's well designed out side and engine also it's good but the problem is interior....... Look at other competitors like Ford Renger and Toyota they improved a lot.

[@1005wiking]

Even the ssangyong Musso is miles ahead interior wise

[@Samsung_Samuel]

Why is comfort not separate from practicality? Doesn't it make sense that is should be separate?

[@philross1680]

Great and detailed review as always Paul. I think Nissan build good cars and have often thought about owning a Navara and the new update is a good improvement over the older model especially with the upgraded safety tech however as far as utes go I still think although older the current Ranger maybe a better proposition for the long term and when released the 2022 model will be a bit of a game changer in the Ute world.

You have rember Nissan is still emerging from the Carlos Ghosn era. This Navara might have taken a while to get right but the new model in 2024 should be a competitive player.

[@anthonyramdin1037]

It will because it will be co-developed with the triton which is the best ute on the market at the moment. It'll probably sport the triton drivetrain and it's terrain modes. The engine will be a bit of both brands but I'd prefer it to be developed mostly by mitsubishi because their engines performance is incredible apart from the turbo lag.

At the end of the day I've learnt never to pay tooo much attention to the reviews as they all seem to miss very important info, as you have.... 2021 Navara is a weapon. Tows a heavy caravan up steep inclines effortlessly, 450 to 500 is in discernable! Especially mated to a fussy 10 speed box. (ranger) STX ALL THE WAY. Hahahaha

I’ve got a 2018 series 3 ST-X. It’s been a good car, hasn’t let me down at all. Only bugbears are 1. Viscous fan drives me mad until it turns off (even on cold morning starts), 2. Centre console and glove box could be bigger (rear air vents steal room but are very low output), 3. Auto transmission holds 3rd too long and can be indecisive in traffic (sports mode wakes it up a lot though). All up, it drives nice, better than Hilux, probably on par with Ranger IMO. If I was buying now I’d get a Wildtrak biturbo, but at the time this was the best choice for me. 👍 BTW, I enjoy your reviews, keep up the good work!

Considering what's available on the market for the $60k/whatever you're going to spend, this interior/features are dated - if you really want a nissan, skip this one and wait til the next generation. I got the GWM Cannon - L and am really impressed with it so far. Will it last? it's a gamble (the warranty helps though) but so far it's really good and i've saved 20k-ish to spend on house upgrades.

I have the 2015 ST model and it's fantastic, I would say this is not worth the upgrade if you already own any NP300 variant. However, this particular model is substantially cheaper than what the previous model is still selling for currently. If you have an older vehicle and are looking for a reasonably priced 4X4 ute, I'd highly recommend this. Cheapest in it's class

Despite now looking similar the American Frontier (D41) is a distinctly different vehicle that's on the same platform but doesn't share a whole lot of components.

When Nissan released this shape I considered it a step backwards, so much so that it was down to only the Hi-Lux and Ranger come replacement time. This new one though could put Nissan back on my shopping list. The only concern is the power output compared to the other two.

How many k’s do you have on the 550? And are they reliable. Cheers.

@@lg8188 Very reliable. Tons of grunt but I found that short distance travel led to carbon build up. I took it out on the motorway and knocked it back a couple of gears and got it to about 3000 rpm's at 100kph. The change was amazing after that. Keep an eye in the oil lines to the intercooler though, they sometimes tend to leak. A Nissan dealer....or some will tell you that the intercooler will need replacing, over two thousand dollars worth. Bullshit. It's just a leaky hose. Mine was just a pup, only 116,000 kays. It would have gone on to much higher mileage than that, but I had an accident and sadly it was written off. I still miss it badly. Go and get one mate, they are awesome. Just check the log books and make sure it's history is recorded and you won't have a problem.
