Nissan has globally printed its novel fifth-generation Navara ute, designated D27, full with facts for the arrival near near Australian lineup that is confirmed to hit local showrooms in Q1 2026.

As anticipated, the Navara is all-novel (for Nissan) in that it is heavily in accordance to the most contemporary sixth-generation Mitsubishi Triton, sharing the same “alliance” ladderframe chassis and structure, the same 2.4-litre turbodiesel four-primarily primarily based powertrain and some distance of its exterior physique work.

On that, evidently very dinky of the Navara’s exterior metalwork varies from that of the Triton aside from the novel entrance fascia, the tailgate shell and chosen exterior garnish. Nissan Australia has no longer confirmed precisely how worthy exterior commonality the D27 Navara has with its Mitsubishi twin.

The novel Navara face capabilities a “bull bar impressed” V-strut defend grille dovetailed with standard-encounter C-formed headlights. Wheel designs for the vary are uncommon to Nissan’s line-up.

Nissan Australia has confirmed, despite the fact that, that the D27 will finest be supplied as a twin-cab, provided that “90 p.c of potentialities for the outgoing D23 [selected] a double cab paired with an automatic transmission”.

The consolidation of the Navara way that there will likely be no 4x2s, no cab-chassis or king/extended cab physique kinds, and no handbook transmission alternatives in this novel D27 generation.

It’s been confirmed that vitality comes from the shared twin-turbocharged 2.4-litre diesel four outputting the same 150kW and 470Nm because the Triton unit, which to 10kW and 20Nm as a lot as the outgoing 2.3-litre oiler. The outgoing N23 seven-poke automatic is replaced by a six-poke auto.

Mixed consumption beneath “preliminary specification” is quoted as 7.7L/100km, while all variants match a 75-litre tank (with AdBlue required in its score 17-litre tank). That makes for a theoretical mixed-cycle vary of spherical 974 kilometres claimed.

The contemporary D23 variant line-up carries over into the D27 generation, with the but-unconfirmed lower-grade trims – capacity SL and ST reboots – being supplied with what’s known as ‘Uncomplicated 4wd’, an on-request 4×4 system that makes use of electronic (by brake) LSD originate on the rear axle.

Each the ST-X and Legitimate-4X (or P4X for short) feature the ‘Huge 4wd’ driveline structure, which brings pudgy-time high-vary 4×4 and a Torsen-kind mechanical rear restricted sprint differential. The increased-grade versions also carry a broader series of (seven) terrain pressure modes: Long-established, Eco, Gravel, Snow, Mud, Sand and Rock.

The Navara Legitimate-4X Warrior is ”beneath pattern” by Premcar and no longer anticipated to be readily available in Q1 2026 with the broader Navara vary.

Nissan Australia printed on the local preview pressure of the novel D27 Navara that three suspension tunes will likely be readily available, presumably devoted calibrations for lower and increased grades, as successfully as a bespoke space-up for the Warrior.

The uncommon, tuned-by-Premcar Australian suspension calibrations are said to score benefitted from 365 days and spherical 18,000 kilometres of localised testing across a diversity of terrains. Energy steering is electrical, while brakes are entrance discs and rear drums.

All versions of the Navara will reach with 3500kg of braked towing functionality, with 350kg of towball download. “Preliminary specifications” score mainline (non-Warrior) variants at 2120-2140kg kerb, with a GVM of 3190kg and GCM of 6250kg.

Payloads for the twin-cab finest lineup is between 950kg and 1047kg reckoning on the variant.

Internal wise, worthy the exterior, the Navara ports rather a few Mitsubishi DNA – critically the sail fascia – despite the fact that the Nissan suits a explicit wheel attach.

Media wise, a 9.0-inch touchscreen unit is fitted across the vary that capabilities DAB+ and encompass glance digicam system, while phone connectivity is wireless Apple CarPlay with wired Android Auto. Elsewhere, the instrument cluster is a 7.0-inch TFT attach, while wireless phone charging is strange on the ST-X and P4X grades.

Security wise, the Navara suits eight airbags, ahead self ample emergency braking, lane departure warning and lane back, blind quandary monitoring, lane substitute back, entrance and rear defective traffic signals, driver monitoring, adaptive cruise preserve an eye on and emergency back for pedal misapplication, combating unintended acceleration.

More definitive Australian specifications and pricing will reach to light nearer to the D27 Navara’s local launch in Q1 subsequent 365 days and preserve tuned for pudgy pressure of the novel-gen ute soon.
