The Nissan Navara has been in Australia since 1986, introduced as a simple two-door workhorse.

The King Cab incorporates extra space – and seats – behind the traditional single cab area. Current prices range from $34,306 to $71,643 for the Navara SL (4X2) and Navara Pro-4X Warrior (4x4).​

Available with a petrol engine, as well as a diesel engine in two different configurations, the Navara also comes with a choice of six-speed manual and seven-speed automatic and two- or four-wheel drive. The Navara uses the same body-on-frame construction as its competition, but is unique in using coil springs in the rear suspension of select models.

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

Nissan Navara FAQs

Is it normal for a car to have more fuel than the gauge says?

Surprisingly, yes it is a fairly common observation. The idea is that having the gauge tell you that the tank is nearly empty even though it has a few litres still sloshing around in it, is a great way to convince you to find a service station before you run out of fuel. In the old days, many cars had a reserve tank which had to be switched on when the main tank ran out of fuel. This reserve tank was your insurance against being stranded. The modern fuel gauge acts in the same way by ensuring you have a supply remaining even when the gauge is telling you you’re just about empty.

Normally, a car has around 50 to 80km of fuel left when the gauge reads zero (although don’t be tempted to find out the hard way). So the 20 litres remaining in your tank when the gauge is on empty is on the high side, but far from abnormal.

How much oil do I need for an oil change in a 2008 Nissan Navara dual-cab turbo diesel?

It depends on which engine your Navara has. If it’s a D22 with the 2.5-litre engine, the oil-change capacity is 5.6 litres. If your car has the three-litre engine, it will need 6.7 litres to complete an oil change. If your car is the later model D40 version, the 2.5-litre engine will require 6.9 litres. Those amounts should allow for an oil-filter change as well.

In each case, the recommended oil is a 5W40 semi-synthetic.

My 2014 Nissan Navara lacks power and has a slow gearbox

This could be caused by any number of things, and an electronic scan of the vehicle will surely reveal some of its secrets and may point you towards the fix. It almost sounds as though the car is going into limp-home mode when you first start driving it, but then reverts to proper operation once the engine has warmed up a little. But this could also suggest a turbo-boost leak somewhere in the system that is closing up and disappearing once there’s some heat built up.

If there’s oil around the intercooler hose, you may have oil in the intercooler itself. This can cause all sorts of problems and is often caused by a worn turbocharger. I’d definitely be having a close look at the turbo unit, checking for wear and damage as this could be the root cause.

Nissan Navara Interior

The Nissan Navara interior varies from cloth through to leather, and manually or power-adjustable seats, depending on the grade you buy.

But while the cabin is a well designed space, it feels a bit old and a little smaller and squeezed for space inside than some rivals.

Nissan Navara SL variants have manually-adjustable cloth seats (six-way manually-adjustable for the driver, four-way manually-adjustable for the front passenger).

Nissan Navara ST variants have manually-adjustable cloth seats (six-way manually-adjustable for the driver, four-way manually-adjustable for the front passenger).

Nissan Navara ST-X variants have manually-adjustable cloth seats (on manual versions; six-way for the driver, four-way for the front passenger), and leather-accented seats with a power-adjustable driver's seat (on automatic versions).

Nissan Navara PRO-4X variants have leather accents throughout the cabin with an eight-way power-adjustable driver's seat.

For reference, the top-spec Nissan Navara Pro-4X Warrior has a new updated dash with an 8.0-inch multimedia screen, which has wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

There are plenty of storage spaces, cupholders, bottle holders, and receptacles in which to place your everyday carry gear.
