Nissan Navara ST-X dual-cab ute reviewed

AutoExec Summary

Loaded utes are popular in Australia, with high-end versions like Nissan’s Navara ST-X competing with the Toyota HiLux SR5. The Navara ST-X offers SUV-like features such as smart keys and dual-zone climate control. Optional upgrades include leather seats and an electric sunroof. The cabin feels spacious but slightly outdated. Safety features are lacking compared to European models. Driving improvements include faster steering and stiffer rear springs. Alternatives include the Mitsubishi Triton GLS Premium, Toyota HiLux SR5, and VW Amarok 3.0 TDI Core. The Navara is a solid choice for buyers seeking comfort and value, despite its dated safety suite.
