The next-generation Nissan Navara is one of the most anticipated utes heading to Australian shores. With Nissan confirming that development is already underway and partnerships forming between Nissan and Mitsubishi (makers of the new Triton), the new Navara is expected to launch by late 2025 or early 2026.

This next-gen Navara is set to bring significant improvements in powertrain, chassis design, off-road technology, and cabin comfort — aiming to compete head-to-head with the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux, and Isuzu D-MAX.

What to Expect From the 2026 Nissan Navara

• Platform & Suspension: Built on the new ladder-frame architecture shared with the 2024 Mitsubishi Triton. Expect improvements in off-road geometry, payload balance, and ride comfort.
  
• Powertrain: Likely to feature a 2.4L bi-turbo diesel with over 150 kW and 470–500 Nm of torque. A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) or 48V mild-hybrid diesel option could also debut depending on global emissions regulations.
  
• Transmission: 6-speed manual and 8-speed automatic gearboxes expected. Selectable 4WD with low range and terrain response modes.
  
• Interior & Tech: Expect a large central infotainment screen (12″+), full digital dash cluster, wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, 360-degree cameras, and an upgraded safety suite.
  
• Towing & Payload: Projected 3,500 kg braked towing and payload capacities between 1,000–1,100 kg.
