If you ever played spot-the-difference puzzles as a kid, then you’ll enjoy this spec comparison of the new Nissan Navara and Mitsubishi Triton.

As we’ve covered elsewhere, the Navara has gone from being its own vehicle to being little more than a lightly restyled Triton. It’s due in showrooms during the first quarter of 2026.

It’s far from unusual for two companies to share the same basic ute, though the extent of differences can vary among these tie-ups.

For example, the MG U9 and LDV Terron 9 look almost identical but differ substantially in their rear suspension; the Isuzu D-Max and Mazda BT-50 have very different aesthetics but are almost identical otherwise; and the Ford Ranger and Volkswagen Amarok feature significantly different lineups and styling.

So, where do the new Navara and Triton fall on this scale?

Nissan has taken the current Triton, launched in 2023, and given it a different front fascia. Down back, the changes are much milder, limited to different tail-light internals. There are different badges inside and out, naturally, but that’s about it.

Under the skin, the changes are even more subtle… or non-existent.

Model lineup

The Navara will be offered exclusively as a dual-cab pickup from launch, with an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive mandatory.
