2018 Nissan Navara ST-X off-road review 

I really like this truck. It looks great inside and out and the ride seems really comfortable. It just eats up those bumps without any drama. My d'max would have been bouncing up and down going over those rocks

I love this guys on how he reviews cars. He reviews it and throws a couple of tutorials how to use its built in functions. keep up the good work boi.

This ad was my motivation for a double cab. I watched it every day and saw myself owning one. Today I own a Mitsubishi Colt double cab. Thank you for inspiration. ❤️❤️😀😀

I recently bought a new Navara, and so far so good. MUCH better ride than my Hilux, and other than the engine feeling more revvy than I'm used to, it's a very pleasant car to be in. Plus it's the only ute with a sunroof! 😎 (Can't believe Mercedes don't option it!)

Paul has built himself an empire in the last 5 years and the Navara has gained a new steering wheel 😂

The steep gradient was the best part with diffs locked at rear !

The most comfortable pick up truck ever

Amazing how much tough stuff u can get thru with a factory rear diff lock love mine in my 2015 np300 st navara 👌🏽

If its the same engine as in my renault master then its probably the most reliable in ita class! Done over 300.000km in 2 years, not one single fault, not one repair done yet

If you understand how the diff lock works you would understand that you need to creep forward for it to align

nice review and good to learn for new off road driver :)

Paul- You should start your own four-wheel drive channel. You seem to have a lot of knowledge.

Excellent review!

It is a shame that the Nissan's pickup sold in South American doesn't come with diff locker, not even as optional.

I love how since the Merc came out they have been saying "its the same engine as the Mercedes X class" but before it came out it was ( the engine from a Renault Master van ) haha

Wish i'd seen this review before heading to Mundaring Powerlines on the weekend ...did the track in low without the difflock and i recon it would have been a bit easier looking at this. I got the same 2018 black ST-X (only the manual). Just had a 2 inch lift with KO2 275/70R17 fitted.... clearance was not an issue at all and we did some full on rutted uphill sections. No rubbing (update: very slight under front guards) with the 32.2 tyres either. So far stoked with the new Navara. Great Review!

Great review, did you take much notice on it's fuel efficiency during the test?

I am seriously considering this for my next company car, they are offering this (ST model) or the X-Trail St. The Navarra ST is better specced here in NZ than the X-Trail, The Navarra has auto LED Headlamps, driving lamps, Folding mirrors which are also heated (dumb omission on many Nissans) Sat Nav, plus it’s available in 7 speed auto (hate the CVT in my current Nissan Qashqai)

See i don’t get why nissan navaras get so much hate in au and nz? Personally own a ranger but i wish i could have a navara instead

I bought one a year ago, love it to bits!

Best looking dual cab 4x4 on the market easily. Ranger or hilux 2nd then who cares about the others.

Another great review. 👍🏽

So if it's basically all positives, why does the navara do so poorly in all of your comparisons? I understand it cant carry a heavy load like the rest can, but these dual cabs are now lifestyle vehicles - I bought my navara solely as a 4x4 and I think with the coil rear its better than the other utes in every way when it comes to off road capability.

Very good review mate

yeah, nice car, but tell us, when are you doing Ted 3?

Rather have this honest truck than the Mercedes(so-called). But, the Ranger is my choice.

Chicago needs this💯💯

Not bad tho he missed that in 4H it acts like a awd where it can differentiate torque between the front and back, 4L it locks the transfer in and the front to back split stays 50:50 as well as the diff lock takes a while if the gears aren’t lined up moving left and right to line up the two sides will speed up the process

Great review mate!

Good review Paul..

its the same motor as in the mercedes x class. You don't say. Its maybe because the mercedes x class IS the Navara.

The np300 is the business compared to the 4 other main contenders. Great city car also

Nice and simple review, Oh wait, what about the towing capabilities , does it have a Trailer Stability Assist

I love this I really like to own one but in my country Guyana 🇬🇾 I can't afford it

Holy shit I fkin love this channel!!

I got a NP300 ST at home very capable from stock but as far as hitting the tracks go, id still rather my GU patrol mainly cause theres less electronics and fancy shit to bugger up and its more solid in general. Great review though 😎👍

In my country the Navarra Is so expensive, the full equipment is close to 50.000 usd, I have a np300 2.4lt (2014) the price was 31.000 buck for 4x4 model no extras equipment.

No drama, no dram, no drama, no drama.

On decent big declines, I'd rather use the rear diff lock, and 1st low, over the hill decent,

I am driving Navara ST-X last 8 years. I like the model looks. These cars are good when new. I found they develop issues, like timing chain, head-gasket once they are around 80,000km and over.

Why not boggy sand test? Like literally 90% of off roasting in australia due to the fact we basically live on the beaches…

You skipped something that I always wanted to see, a comparison of the traction control in 4H and 4L, but you did 4L + diff loc. Im just wondering how better the TC is in 4L. PLEASE DO HE COMPARISON EVEN WITH OTHER UTES, especially the Navara

Such nice pickups, have seen many in Mexico

Watch the boost solenoids. Clog up quick. Put in limp mode and Nissan say goodbye warranty

just clocked up 9000 mile in my acenta plus navara the good points are the truck looks the part and has nice looking dash and pulls well tha bad points are the rest of the truck i have had better head lights on mk 3 landrovers it takes 5 ltrs of ad blue every 1000 miles you go over a pot hole and it feels like the body is going to fall off the frame and with the jolt it turns the traction aid off tinted rear window and rear view mirror makes it very hard when reversing in the dark and then the cam screen comes up in the mirror and takes away what bit of view you had and as for carrying a load just forget it the front coils are stronger than the rear so when you do put any thing in the bed the front helps to push the back down i put a box in the back today with 360 kg and the rear went down 100mm the frame is same as the old model with braces welded in to stop it snaping and as for going of road with it as a 4x4 you wont get very far it still has the same gear box as the old one with the plastic parts in for shiting in and out of fwd wich wear and get stuck in fwd and wont come out its is not a good pick up at all it is the old navara was not good but this is worse i am just glad its a company truck and i did not buy it this truck will will not last or stand the test of time and why any one would pay silly money for one with a merc badge on

Remember to also open your windows and remove all safety belts before entering water.

When will Nissan fix the A Pillar being too wide at the bottom compared to the piece of metal it meets? It annoys the F out of me.

you were very good thanks

Wish they were available in the states

Without any dramas

If you were taking a truck for several hour drives in the harsh, African bush areas, would you choose the Navara, Hilux or Ranger?

Could you make comparison test of family station wagons ( not crossovers!!!) between Ford Mondeo, Skoda Superb, VW Passat, Commodore, Peugeot 508, etc .... please

but it depends what tiers you use aswell

Very nice car is it possible to get it in Rwanda?

2018 NISSAN 4X4 ❤🌐

Just becouse this is my dreamcar, i took the time to draw the inside and the outside Time ot took me: 46 hours...

When are you getting your hands on the 2019 Everest?

I would like to see the 2018 Ford Ranger Wildtrak with 3.2 engine on the same OffRoad test as this Nissan navara.

Got my Nissan Navarra entirely stuck twice. It can’t “ go anywhere” even in low range. The supplied tires are most of the problem and are designated “ light off road use”. Change tires, no issues.

I wonder how does the sports edition makes it It uses some spring though

Nissan have stated that you cannot go through water deeper than the hub height or it will void any warranty.

What will happen if this ute hits the croc in the river🤔

2018 Greece ❤🌐

Can you please do this 4x4 demonstration with the VW Amarok?

C’mon this is the engine you’re gonna give the states, we need a beefy V6 or a V8. Even a straight 6 diesel

Great vehicle but late last year we drove from Victoria to Fraser Island and had a rear axle seal fail causing the wheel bearing to fail and the axle slid out and because we were using in harsh conditions and had mud tyres bullbar and sidesteps Nissan Australia would not cover under new car warranty The stx had 48500klms and was 2 years old

2018 ALBANIA ❤🌐

Impressive..

Is the Navara ST-X and Navara VL the same?

Does it keep traction control on front axe with rear diff lock engaged?

That water wasn’t no way near 600mm was barely 300mm

Good Demo.

I like this 😁👊🏾

did this guy even let his tyre pressure down before he started his 'tests'?

When this trucks b came to America ?

Nissan has stipulated that owners do not drive this car with water above the wheel centre hub line.... Some electrics will fail as there is an electrical junction plug in the bottom of the front right wheel arch. As much as i love the look of this car... i think i'm going to the ranger.

Nice ride but not family friendly. Car seats for young ones are not suitable for this vehicle. They brag about it's safety but a disagree.

Hi boss, I like your test drive videos.i invite you to India (Kerala) and we have some serious off-road drives here.

Those are some crappy little tires for an offroad inspired truck

they just dont look like u pickup like they use to..

what kind of 4x4 truck is the fastest?

#GoAnywhereTeam #GoNavara

ماشاء الله لا قوة الا بالله العلي العظيم اللهم ارزقنا مثلها يا رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله

Why can't we get this In the UNITED STATES!?!?!? I love my frontier but we need a 2.3l Diesel here

I rather hilux and land cruiser comment what you would prefer

too bad Nissan dropped the ball again and wont start building this model in North America. Sorry Nissan but im looking for a Ranger or something else. Cant wait any longer!

check out the gal boys videos on here the hilux is doing this loaded up hill towing a caravan

Actually the NAVARA is a very capable truck but it can't carry heavy loads...

อยากเห็นที่เมืองไทย

والله والطقعه سلم لي على الهلي

theres a kangaroo in the backroun lol!

That's too much for that thing... My Xterra will do everything it can do, only better...🤨🤨🤨

Argentina versión

Нихера не понял, но тачка класс👍🏻

Ford Ranger and Ford Ranger Raptor! is the Best Pickup Truck. Built Ford Tough! No other Pickup Truck can compete with Ford.

A d22 zd30 has more balls then this truck

I wouldn’t touch another Navara....if it’s anything like the first last one. All before 90k.and 7 yr old. Broken rear springs x 2, rear shocks which were damaged by springs x 2, air con failure, rusty chassis, rusty fuel tank strap which broke and tank nearly fell out, prop bearings x3, Noisy Cam chain from new, ........DONT BUY A NAVARA.

Lol 4x4... seen the Navara stuck in a Macca's garden..

.....mis güevos

Its a good review. But a good paid review none the less. I hardly ever see these on the roads. That's my way of review right there.
