Nissan Navara ST-X 2026 review: snapshot

The Nissan Navara ST-X starts from $63,177, before on-road costs, and adds a fair bit over the basics like an 8.0-inch multimedia touchscreen across the range with digital radio as well as (wired) Android Auto and (wireless) Apple CarPlay.

Better suspension, 18-inch alloys, leather-accented and heated front seats and a power adjustable driver's seat, dual-zone climate and a wireless phone charger are all included, plus a centre limited-slip differential, drive modes more compatible with off-roading.

A 150kW/470Nm four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine under the bonnet is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission, sending power to the rear wheels or all four depending on 4WD settings.

Nissan Navara SL 2026 review: snapshot

The 7.7L/100km consumption claim from Nissan, paired with the Navara’s 75L diesel tank, means you should be able to drive more than 900km theoretically.

The distance of 1135mm between wheel arches in the tub means it won’t fit an Australian pallet, but a Euro one will fit fine. The overall tub is 1555mm long, 1545mm wide, and 525mm tall.

The new Navara inherits the Triton’s maximum five-star ANCAP rating, which was tested in 2024, thanks to eight airbags and a list of safety kit including a surround-view camera, forward collision warning and AEB, front and rear cross-traffic alert, driver monitoring and traffic sign recognition, front and rear parking sensors and trailer sway control.

Nissan’s 10-year/300,000km warranty is fantastic but applies only if you service with Nissan. It’s five years with no kilometre limit otherwise. There’s five years' of flat-price servicing at $499 per visit, every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first.
