Nissan Navara
2.3L bi-turbo diesel for the Navara. Modern and powerful, long-term data still limited.
163 hp facelift — truck stays a truck
Revised cockpit, same utility-first attitude — pickup driving pleasure remains a contradiction.
Engine Weaknesses 3
The YS23DDT BiTurbo system can fail at high mileage. The small primary turbocharger (responsible for the lower rev range) is particularly vulnerable. Repair is expensive as both stages often need replacement.
Symptoms: Turbo lag in the lower rev range, whistling or howling from turbo, power loss, engine warning light
DPF problems on the YS23DDT BiTurbo in the NP300 Navara have been documented from as early as 9,000 km. The vehicle calculates oil dilution rather than measuring it, leading to incorrect DPF regeneration cycles.
Symptoms: DPF warning light at low mileage, power reduction, increased fuel consumption
Navara NP300 with the YS23DDT show above-average AdBlue consumption. The 12-litre tank needs refilling more often than expected, especially when towing or on hilly terrain.
Symptoms: AdBlue warning appears frequently, elevated running costs, AdBlue tank needs refilling every 5,000–8,000 km
