A Familiar Shape, Turned Up a Notch
At first glance, the new Navara looks properly tough.
The bold orange-and-black colour scheme only amplifies that attitude.
Nissan says the front end sticks to its V-motion grille, paired with C-shaped headlights. The standout detail is the three-part intake design, a clear nod to the original Navara.
It’s a visual link to the past, without feeling dated.
Inside: More Premium Than You’d Expect
Step inside, and the mood shifts.
This is not a bare-bones work truck.
The cabin features two-tone leather seats, room for five adults, and a noticeably cleaner layout. Everything feels designed for long stints behind the wheel.
Tech takes centre stage too.
You get a 7.0-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9.0-inch infotainment screen, both supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Power That Matches the Look
Under the bonnet sits a 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine producing 201bhp and a hefty 470Nm of torque.
That output is channelled through a six-speed automatic gearbox, tuned for towing, off-road work, and everyday driving.
Despite its size, Nissan claims the Navara is easier to handle than before, thanks to a new electric power steering system designed to improve low-speed manoeuvrability.
Smarter Four-Wheel Drive, Less Effort
One of the biggest upgrades is the intelligent four-wheel drive system.
On highways, the Navara can switch to two-wheel drive to improve efficiency. When conditions demand more grip — towing, loose terrain, or heavy loads — it automatically engages four-wheel drive.
An electronically controlled differential lock comes as standard, along with suspension tuned specifically for mixed on-road and off-road use.
Add in a full suite of advanced driver assistance systems, and the Navara feels ready for long-distance touring as much as weekend work.
What This Means for Buyers
The new Navara isn’t just about brute strength.
It’s about balance.
Nissan is clearly aiming at buyers who want a pickup that can handle tough jobs, daily commuting, and long road trips — without feeling compromised in any one area.
With its launch still months away, pricing hasn’t been announced. But expectations are high.
