The pickup, known as the Frontier in Mexico and South America, marks another milestone in the company’s Nissan NEXT transformation plan.
Over the many decades since the first Nissan pickup hit the road, the Navara has continued to accompany and empower customers in many facets of their lives.
Building on more than 80 years of Nissan pickup heritage, it stays true to the company’s belief in bringing advanced technologies to as many customers as possible.
A reliable partner for work or travel,
the new Navara comes with many best-in-class technologies, including an
array of Nissan Intelligent Mobility features and safety systems,
making it the most advanced Navara yet.
Among the Nissan
Intelligent Mobility features that will be available across the global
Navara and Frontier lineup is Intelligent Forward Collision Warning,
which monitors the second vehicle ahead as well as the vehicle directly
in front to reduce the risk of multi-car accidents. Intelligent
Emergency Braking activates the brakes to avoid collisions, reducing the
stress of driving in traffic or on busy streets.
Intelligent Around View Monitor uses four cameras to help drivers notice people and cars surrounding and approaching the vehicle, making it easier to parallel park or to position the vehicle when hitching to a trailer. New to the system is an off-road monitor, which checks surrounding obstacles at low speeds when in four-wheel drive mode.
The new model features a strengthened rear axle, increased payload capacity, additional truck bed volume and a new integrated step in the rear bumper for easier access to the truck bed. A new steering rack has been adopted to enhance maneuverability at low speeds and steering response across the speed range.
It offers a quiet and comfortable ride thanks to significant decrease of vibration and improved noise isolation.
These new features make the vehicle the ultimate travel and worksite partner, prepared to take on new challenges while still offering optimal room, comfort, safety and ease of work.
The new model features an “unbreakable” design language. It introduces a new ruggedly bold, stylish exterior made for extreme elements.
For the first time for the Navara and Frontier, Nissan will offer the PRO-4X grade, a style package aimed at adventure lovers and travelers craving an escape from their daily routine. The PRO-4X grade comes with its own athletic look, with a black emblem, orange-accented front bumper, black grille, door handles, roof racks and running boards accented by 17-inch black wheels and all-terrain tires.
No powertrain upgrades have been made. As such, the 2021 Navara comes standard with a twin-turbocharged 2.3-liter 4-cylinder diesel expected to produce the same 188 hp and 450 Nm as the outgoing model. This engine can be paired to either a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed auto.
The new pickup goes on sale in December in Thailand, with other markets to follow later.
