Nissan has released a teaser video on its Australian YouTube channel, offering a first glimpse of the upcoming all-new fourth-generation Nissan Navara ahead of its official launch on November 19. The new model will replace the current third-generation Navara, which has been on sale for over a decade.
If its silhouette looks familiar to you, that is because it will reportedly be based on the Mitsubishi Triton, as former Chief Operating Officer Ashwani Gupta hinted back 2020.
In the video, the car was mostly shown shrouded in shadows, with only brief flashes revealing certain details. From what’s visible, the new Navara appears to share very similar doors, roofline, side mirrors, and even bonnet haunches with its Mitsubishi counterpart.
Looking closer, the all-new Navara no longer features the triple-line daytime running light (DRL) design shown in the teaser image earlier this year. Instead, each headlight assembly now sports a single light bar, hinting at a split-headlight setup — much like the Mitsubishi Triton.

At the rear, the C-shaped taillight design of the concept has been retained but now appears larger, extending from the top to the bottom of the taillight cluster. Overall, the body proportions look remarkably similar to the Triton — right down to the antenna placement.
While the Triton features squared-off wheel arches, the Navara may retain its more rounded arches to help distinguish itself from its Mitsubishi twin.
Alongside their ladder frame chassis, the upcoming all-new Nissan Navara is also expected to share its powertrain with the Triton. In Malaysia, the latest Triton is offered with a 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel engine in two outputs: one producing 184 hp and 430 Nm, and another delivering 204 hp and 470 Nm — the latter benefiting from a MIVEC two-stage turbo setup.
Along with this, the new Nissan Navara may also feature a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, replacing the current model’s seven-speed unit. However, it’s unclear if the all-new Navara will retain its signature coil springs setup, or instead swap to the leaf springs used on the Triton.
Notably, the Triton also comes with several key features, including the Super Select II 4WD system and Active Yaw Control. It remains to be seen whether Nissan will adopt these technologies for the Navara or rebrand them under its own terminology.
That said, Nissan has previously stated that it plans to add its own touches to help differentiate the Navara from the Triton — including its suite of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
