- An all-new Navara will be unveiled November 19, marking the end of the aging D24 generation.
- It will built on the Mitsubishi Triton’s chassis, featuring Nissan-specific design and engineering.
- The lineup will include a rugged Pro-4X Warrior trim and, possibly, a NISMO-branded version.
After more than a decade of service, the D24 Nissan Navara is finally bowing out. The Japanese brand confirmed that the long-running midsize pickup will be replaced by an all-new generation that will debut on November 19 in Australia and New Zealand. The new truck rides on Mitsubishi bones and is completely unrelated 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 suggests that the new Navara will share more than a few bits with the Triton. Still, the company promises it will “incorporate design elements that pay homage to previous generations”.
Nissan-specific styling cues will likely include the unique LED graphics on the split headlights and taillights, a sculpted hood, a new grille, and a redesigned front bumper. We can also see a sports bar, meaning that the pictured model is a high-end trim. Chances are the lineup will comprise chassis, single- and dual-cab bodystyles for work and leisure.
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.

Under the hood, we expect a 2.4-liter turbodiesel engine which is good for 201 hp (150 kW / 204 PS) in the Triton. Later on, the truck is expected to gain a plug-in hybrid option, following the trend for electrified midsize trucks. Furthermore, the company will offer a rugged Pro-4X Warrior trim in collaboration with Premcar, with officials hinting at plans for a NISMO-branded version.
The market launch of the new Navara Down Under is scheduled for the first half of 2026. Nissan has sold over 420,000 examples of the nameplate across Oceania since its local debut on December 1986. It remains to be seen whether the new model will be offered in other markets.
Note that South America will soon get its own Navara, although this one appears to be a redesigned version of the current model that has been around since 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.
