2026 Nissan
Navara

Nissan and Infiniti vehicles have bolt patterns utilising 4, 5, or 6 lug holes which are relatively standardised. Please chat to one of our Nissan Service centre Team to find out more about stud pattern of the new Nissan Navara.

All 2026 Nissan Navara models come standard with a 6-year/ 90,000km service plan and a 6-year/ 150,000km warranty, so you can rest easy knowing your Navara bakkie is running smoothly and always performing its best on the road.

While previous models were very similar in design and engineering, the 2026 Nissan Frontier looks markedly different in terms of styling and powertrain options.

Since the Nissan Frontier 2026 is essentially the Nissan Navara, the best bakkie to buy is the 2026 Nissan Navara 2.5D 4×4 PRO-4X AT DC.

Both the Nissan Navara and the 2026 Nissan Frontier are incredibly good looking pick ups which were very similar until recently. In 2021, the Nissan Navara had a major facelift with arguably its most rugged exterior to date and now, the 2026 Nissan Frontier has also received a facelift that makes it easier to distinguish between the two. Under the bonnet of the Nissan Frontier 2026 sits an impressive V6 petrol engine while the Nissan Navara double cab is only available with the ever-reliable 2.5 diesel. However, if you want a petrol version, you can buy the 2.5 petrol XE MT but only as a single cab.

The new Navara bakkie is undoubtedly one of the best-looking pickups to hit South African shores. Not only that but it also boasts a wide range of dynamic safety, design and off road features which set it apart from its competitors. The single cab Navara has one petrol engine derivative with 2-wheel drive and several diesel engines using a 4-wheel drive system. At the same time, the double cab Nissan Navara is only available with top quality diesel engines in both 2-wheel drive or 4-wheel drive. The choice ultimately comes down personal preference and which vehicle option best suits your needs. If safety features play a big part, then rest assured that the SE and LE Navara trim levels come standard with some of the highest safety specs in their class. It’s important to note that the LE Nissan Navara has an added layer of safety with technologies such as Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Hill Start Assist (HSA), Hill Descent Control (HDC), Reverse Sensors and Blindspot Warning. Furthermore, the new Nissan Navara Stealth adopts bolder styling and a purpose-built utility package, making it as functional as it is fierce. Please note that the Nissan diesel engine used to power all Navara trim levels provide unparalleled power, torque and fuel economy across the entire range.

There are currently six single cab and Nissan Navara bakkies to choose from, all with manual transmission. This includes the only petrol version, the 2.5 Petrol XE MT SC and the base diesel model 2.5D XE MT SC followed by the 2.5D 4×2 SE MT SC, 2.5D 4×2 LE MT SC 2.5D 4×4 SE MT SC and 2.5D 4×4 LE MT SC. The double-cab Nissan Navara range offers the same engines as the single cabs but with the option of an automatic transmission. They have also upped the ante with the Plus models, the exciting and top-spec PRO-4X and special edition Stealth. The double-cab Nissan Navara range includes the 2.5D 4X2 XE MT, 2.5D 4×2 SE MT/AT, 2.5D 4×2 SE Plus MT/AT, 2.5D 4×2 LE AT, 2.5D PRO-2X AT, 2.5D DC Stealth 4×2 AT, 2.5D 4X4 XE MT, 2.5D 4×4 SE MT, 2.5D 4×4 SE Plus MT, 2.5D 4×4 LE MT, 2.5D 4×4 LE AT DC, 2.5D 4×4 PRO-4X AT, and 2.5D DC Stealth 4×4 AT .

When you have a pickup range as bold, powerful and reliable as the new Nissan Navara, the only way to choose is to find the model that best suits your needs. If you’re an avid off-roader, then any 4-wheel drive models are perfect as they utilise a heavy-duty independent double-wishbone with stabiliser front suspension and 5-link rear coil suspension for superior off and on-road performance. If you’re after a bakkie for urban or long-distance driving, the 2-wheel Navara option may be your best bet. Alternatively, the entry-level Nissan Navara XE is tailored for heavy-duty commercial applications, offering exceptional durability with a leaf spring rear suspension, designed specifically to handle tougher conditions and carry heavier loads. However, any Nissan Navara trim level will do if you’re looking for a family vehicle or a light commercial vehicle to expand your fleet. All that’s left is to choose the one that feels the most comfortable for you!

The 2.5D 4×4 PRO-4X Automatic Transmission double cab Nissan Navara is the top of the standard Nissan Navara range. However, from time to time Nissan releases a limited edition vehicle in a specific range which can include a host of additional features.

Absolutely! From its fuel economy and build quality to its impressive interior, the Nissan Navara is physical testament to Nissan’s dedication to building some of the best pickups in the world. The 2.5-litre intercooled 4-cylinder turbo-diesel engine is without a doubt one of the Navara’s greatest strengths. It is quite possibly one of the best, most reliable bakkie engines Nissan has ever produced for the vehicles sold in South Africa.

The latest generation Navara Pickup comes standard across the range with an impressive Nissan built 2.5-litre turbo-diesel engine but there is also a petrol version for the single cab, the 2.5-litre Petrol XE.

Shell Helix Ultra is one of the best synthetic oils in the country and is recommended for high performance engines that operate in extreme conditions. Since the new Nissan Navara thrives on a challenge, it needs the best oil to ensure that you get the most out of your engine.

From the astronaut-inspired fatigue-reducing seats which promote a neutral posture and improve blood flow to a new rear armrest and dual cup-holders in the back and the dual climate control, this is a pickup built to be as comfortable as it is stylish and ruggedly reliable. All models have cloth seats except the LE and PRO trim levels which have leather accented seats. There is also a manually operated rear sliding window for all models but PRO trim level gets a power sliding rear screen.

Absolutely yes! Although the 4x2 is capable off road in some environments, the 4x4 variant is built to take on almost anything South African terrain can throw at it. This is thanks to an almost unbreakable chassis, generous ground clearance and the impressive Nissan 4x4 system. It has a range of features such as a 4-Wheel Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS), Shift-on-the-fly 4-Wheel Drive, Electronic Locking Rear Differential, Hill Start Assist (HSA) and responsive steering.

The Nissan Navara model comparison in South Africa spans one of the broadest ranges in the bakkie segment, with over 20 derivatives covering both single and double cab body styles, 4×2 and 4×4 drivetrains and manual and automatic gearboxes. While a 2.5L turbo-diesel engine provides reliable power across the board, higher-tier models receive a significant performance boost with a high-output engine (140 kW / 450 Nm) compared to the entry-level versions. Additionally, upper variants introduce advanced safety through Nissan Intelligent Mobility, such as a 360-degree camera and Forward Collision Warning, which are absent in the more utilitarian workhorse models.

A Nissan Navara variant comparison in South Africa helps you match the bakkie to its purpose. If your priorities are load carrying, job-site durability, and budget, the single-cab XE or SE makes sense. For mixed business and personal use, the double-cab SE or LE variants offer passenger comfort and better tech, while PRO-4X models suit buyers seeking stronger 4x4 capability and off-road upgrades. Comparing body style, drivetrain, towing capacity, and trim level makes it easier to decide which Nissan Navara variant is best for your daily needs.

The difference between Nissan Navara models mainly comes down to trim level, comfort, and capability. XE variants focus on essential workhorse durability; SE adds more convenience and styling; LE introduces more premium comfort and family-friendly features; while the PRO-4X sits at the top with dedicated off-road styling, 4x4 hardware, advanced safety tech, and upgraded suspension-focused capability. This tiered structure makes it easy to compare Nissan Navara variants based on budget, work demands, and lifestyle expectations.
