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.  New key features in the new Navara include a rear differential lock, quad projector LED headlamps, new 17" and 18" wheels, rain sensing wipers, and auto folding mirrors.

It offers a quiet and comfortable ride thanks to significant decrease of vibration and improved noise isolation. An upgraded interior with a new steering wheel with audio, hands free and multi-information display controls, dual-zone automatic air-conditioning, a 7-inch high resolution Nissan Advanced Display Audio unit, new fabric and leather seat design, and a redesigned rear bench for added comfort and style that is agile enough to suit every need.

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. With an updated rear suspension with dual rate coil springs, the Navara can adjust to any situation on the road.

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, 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.

Nissan is also offering a five-year vehicle warranty exclusive only for the new Nissan Navara. The five-year warranty applies to all new Navara variants, making it a unique offering for the pickup segment.

"This extended warranty lets our customers enjoy the new Navara even better throughout its product lifespan. It gives our customers even more confidence and pride in owning the company's latest innovative product," added Najima.

To launch the new Navara, Nissan organized an adventure drive up to the province of Ilocos Norte, returning to the roots of its 2015 Philippine market launch. Tied in with Nissan's Safe Trips campaign with the Department of Tourism, the adventure drive allowed journalists to experience the features and power of the popular pick-up at the province's iconic sand dunes, as well as enjoy a day's drive around Ilocos Norte's local spots. The adventure drive hopes to help boost domestic travel while highlighting the importance of traveling safely and responsibly.
