Family car review: Nissan Navara N-Trek Warrior 2020

The Nissan Navara N-Trek Warrior is a very cool looking Ute! The exterior of has a more rugged, off-road, family camping trip look rather than that of a tradie work ute. This N-Trek Warrior edition has a lot of the extras you normally add to a ute to take it off-road built-in, such as beefy all-terrain tyres under its chunky bolted-on plastic wheel arches, a really tough front bumper and metal side steps. It's pretty expensive over a regular Navara, but so is getting all the off-road accessories separately and having them fitted!

The orange contrast trim on the exterior continues in the interior, in the seat upholstery and contrast stitching throughout. So it definitely looks pretty cool but is its practicality and functionality good too as a BabyDrive?

There are now ISOFix points in the two outer rear seats of the Nissan Navara N-Trek Warrior, which is new as the previous model I tested didn't come with any. This is a great improvement for installing child seats!

The top tether anchorages, however, are still webbing loops (see related article here) situated behind the headrests and in this vehicle, there was one missing! NOT very family friendly!!

The fastening method for the top tether loops is passing the top tether strap under the headrest, through the loop behind that seat and then across to the central seat's loop where it clips on. It means both outer child seats end up clipped onto the central seats' webbing loop. It is not only VERY fiddly and incredibly difficult to install child seats and connect their top tether anchorages but I also have concerns over the tether strap and anchorages fraying easily over time and snapping, especially if driven on corrugated roads and the movement of child seats tugging on the same moving anchor point during a collision. This is all covered here.

Although I could only install two child seats in the back of the Nissan Navara N-Trek Warrior because of the missing top tether anchorage loop on the one I tested, you could physically fit three across.

The tray has unlimited storage really! It held 24 shopping bags when empty and within the reachable area from the tailgate, I could reach the first two rows of bags. I could get a twin stroller with four shopping bags beside it.

The media system has been updated and now has Apple CarPlay which is fantastic because I find the rest of the Nissan media system very confusing to use and navigate.
