2021 Nissan Navara price and specs

Nissan’s tougher-looking new Navara ute will arrive in showrooms during February with drive-away pricing for ABN holders on the most popular variants.

The 2021 Nissan Navara will feature forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning, trailer-sway control, rear cross-traffic alert, and blind-spot monitoring when it arrives in Australia early next year.

Even base models get AEB and forward collision warning, along with driver-attention monitoring. The full suite is reserved for higher-spec models.

The technology upgrade aligns the Navara more closely with the Ford Ranger, Toyota HiLux, Isuzu D-Max, Mazda BT-50, and Mitsubishi Triton in offering a suite of active safety features.

Along with the safety boost, the updated Navara gets convenience features such as rain-sensing wipers and power-folding exterior mirrors.

Power in the updated Navara comes from the same 2.3-litre turbo and twin-turbo four-cylinder diesel engines as the current range.

Under the skin, the 2021 Navara features a strengthened rear axle, minor rear suspension tweaks, and a new steering rack compared to its predecessor.

The tub on pickup-bodied models has been made taller, and there’s a new counterweighted tailgate that can be lifted with a single finger. Payload in all updated dual-cab pickup models is now one tonne.

Inside, the new Navara benefits from a redesigned steering wheel (big win) and a 7.0-inch trip computer display between the instruments.

There’s a new off-road surround-view monitor, and extra USB-C ports scattered throughout the cabin for faster charging.

Nissan has added more sound deadening to the cabin and acoustic glass for a quieter ride at speed, and rear passengers benefit from a new fold-down central armrest with cupholders.

The Navara range will be offered in cab chassis, king cab, and dual-cab bodies.

Engines

The 2021 Nissan Navara range is powered by a pair of 2.3-litre turbo-diesel four-cylinder engines.

The base single-turbo in the SL manual produces 120kW of power and 403Nm of torque, while the twin-turbo version in all other variants produces 140kW of power and 450Nm of torque.

The manual transmission is a six-speed unit, while the automatic is a seven-speed torque converter transmission.

Fuel Economy

The 2021 Nissan Navara uses between 7.2L/100km and 8.1L/100km on the ADR combined drive cycle test.

The most efficient figure is for the entry-level Navara SL dual-cab pickup with a manual transmission, the least efficient is for the Navara Pro-4X with an automatic transmission.

All 2021 Navara models have a 3500kg braked towing capacity and a 750kg unbraked towing capacity.

That rating was based on a frontal offset score of 14.01 out of 16, a side impact score of 16 out of 16, and pedestrian and whiplash protection scores of Marginal and Good, respectively. All models come standard with seven airbags.
