2026 Nissan Navara unveiled: everything we know so far

After more than 10 years for the current Nissan Navara, the brand has pulled the covers back on an all-new, fifth generation of its popular mid-size ute at a global reveal held in South Australia. 

Massively simplifying its line-up, the Navara will be sold in only one configuration when it goes on sale in early 2026: a dual-cab body with automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. Nissan Australia tells us this is in response to market demand of the current-gen Navara – more than 90 per cent of Australian buyers opt for this layout. 

For now, a range of at least four variants is expected, with a yet-unnamed base trim, uprated ST-X, and Pro-4X available at launch, and a flagship Warrior grade to follow later on. 

Riding on a platform shared with alliance partner Mitsubishi’s Triton ute, the 2026 Nissan Navara scores a 2.4-litre bi-turbo diesel four-cylinder, outputting 150kW and 470Nm, while only consuming 7.7L/100km. These figures represent gains of 10kW and 20Nm over the outgoing Navara, with a consumption reduction of 0.2L/100km. 

Befitting Euro 6 emission compliance, the 2026 Nissan Navara will now require AdBlue. 

A move from coil to leaf springs in the rear increases the Navara’s braked towing rating to 3500kg. Suspension tuning, bespoke to the Navara, has been conducted by Melbourne-based Premcar, the firm behind the development of Nissan’s tough Warrior models. 

Local specification is far from confirmed, but the model will receive 9.0- and 7.0-inch infotainment and driver display screens, and run Nissan’s connected car services – the first time it’s been applied to the Navara nameplate. Wireless Android Auto and wired Android Auto will also come as standard. Wireless phone charging comes fitted on ST-X grade and up. LED head and tail lights come as standard. 

A comprehensive safety suite includes emergency lane assist, traffic sign recognition, lane departure warning and assist, blind spot warning and lane change assist, front and rear cross-traffic alerts, a driver monitoring system and adaptive cruise control. 

Dimensionally, seat widths have grown all around, with rear legroom increased over its predecessor. Overall, the Navara grows in length and width but loses millimetres vertically.

Pricing remains undisclosed, but in its current generation, a base SL dual-cab with auto and 4x4 kicks off from $44,900 drive-away (in Sydney). An entry-level 4x4 dual-cab Mitsubishi Triton can be had for $50,490 before on-roads. 

As with all new Nissan models, the 2026 Navara is eligible for a 10-year/300,000km warranty when serviced within its dealer network.
