Update: In just over a week’s time, we’ll finally get a proper look at one of the new Navara pickup models in development, part of a fairly broad lineup that’s shaping up to deliver distinct versions for different markets under the same badge.

But before the official unveiling, digital artist Nikita Chuyko from Kolesa has already stitched together Nissan’s shadowy teasers, giving us a fairly convincing early glimpse of what’s on the way.

Review: The Mitsubishi Triton GSR Stands Out In A Crowded Pickup Market

Given that this version of the next-gen Navara, destined for several Asian markets, Australia, and a few select regions worldwide, will share its underpinnings with the Mitsubishi Triton, its overall design isn’t much of a mystery.

Compared with the Triton, most of the visual changes appear at the front, where the Navara adopts a distinctly Nissan face. The rear, meanwhile, retains the Triton’s taillamp outline but introduces subtle differences such as a black fascia across the tailgate and the model’s name embedded in the metal.

After more than ten years on the road, the D24 Nissan Navara is preparing to sign off. The Japanese automaker has confirmed that its long-serving midsize pickup will make way for an all-new generation, set to debut on November 19 in Australia and New Zealand.

That said, this is just one of many different Navara models being developed or sold globally, sharing nothing more beyond the nameplate. The specific version teased here rides on Mitsubishi underpinnings and has no connection to the upcoming South American Navara or the Chinese Frontier Pro.

The announcement was accompanied by a teaser video, highlighting the Navara’s legacy in the Oceania region. It also offers a first glimpse at the new model, which will be a sibling to the Mitsubishi Triton.

The teaser hints that the new Navara will share more than a few elements with the Triton, though Nissan insists it will “incorporate design touches that honor earlier generations.”

Nissan-specific styling cues will likely include unique LED graphics on the split headlights and taillights, a sculpted hood, a new grille, and a redesigned front bumper.

A sports bar is also visible, suggesting the version shown belongs to a higher trim level. The range is expected to include chassis, single-, and dual-cab configurations to cater to both commercial and recreational buyers.

Platform and Powertrains

Under the skin, the truck will ride on the ladder-frame chassis of the Mitsubishi that was introduced in 2023. However, Nissan executives have hinted at significant changes to the design and engineering, aiming to further differentiate the models in the eyes of prospective customers.

Power is expected to come from a 2.4-liter turbodiesel engine producing 201 hp (150 kW / 204 PS), mirroring the Triton’s output. A plug-in hybrid variant is said to be on the way as well, aligning with the growing move toward electrified pickups.

Nissan also plans to introduce a tough Pro-4X Warrior version developed in collaboration with Premcar, with the possibility of a NISMO-branded model under active consideration.

The next-generation Navara is scheduled to launch in Australia and New Zealand during the first half of 2026. Since its regional debut in December 1986, Nissan has sold more than 420,000 units across Oceania. It remains to be seen whether the new model will be offered in other markets.

Elsewhere, South America is set to receive its own Navara soon, though that model appears to be a refreshed version of the current truck introduced in 2014.

The Japanese truck will compete with the Toyota Hilux, which is also getting a new generation next year, and the Ford Ranger which is the best-selling model in Australia. Other rivals include the VW Amarok, Kia Tasman, Isuzu D-Max, Mazda BT-50, JAC T9, MGU9, GWM Cannon Ute, and BYD Shark.
