Introduced in 2014, the third-generation Nissan Navara has been around for over a decade. However, the time has now come for the D23 iteration to bow out, with the Japanese automaker officially unveiling the fourth generation.

Sharing its underpinnings with the current-generation Mitsubishi Triton, which we’ve evaluated for a road test in 2025, the new Navara’s bodywork measures 5 320 mm in length and 1 865 mm in width, making it 60 mm longer and 10 mm wider than the outgoing iteration. The wheelbase is slightly shorter than the D23 derivative; measuring 3 130 mm compared to 3 150 mm.

The new Navara was revealed with a 2.4-litre, four-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine – the same unit Mitsubishi will introduce to its local Triton lineup in 2026. The twin-turbo motor produces 150 kW and 470 N.m of torque, making it 10 kW and 20 N.m more powerful than the 2.5-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged oil-burner employed by the third-generation Navara. Power is delivered to the road via a Super 4WD system.

Notworthy, just like the new Toyota Hilux, the new Navara adopts electric power steering for the first time. The suspension has also been improved, Nissan says.

The Navara now features seven driving modes: Normal, Eco, Sand, Mud, Gravel, Snow, and Rock. Compared to the third generation, which has a claimed average fuel consumption of 8.1 L/100 km, Nissan says the next-generation Navara is more efficient than before, with a claimed of 7.7 L/100 km.

The new Navara retains the braked towing and payload capacities of its forebear – 3 500 kg and 1 000 kg, respectively.

Stepping inside, the interior plays host to a 9.0-inch, touch-enabled infotainment display, replete with smartphone screen mirroring. The latter item also displays feed relayed from the 360-degree surround-view camera array. The new model further features ‘intelligent’ cruise control, lane-keep assist, and traffic sign recognition, to name but a few additional items.
