2021 Nissan Navara Unveiled; Global Launch Early Next Year

Nissan has unveiled the new 2021 Nissan Navara pickup, also known as the Nissan Frontier in Mexico and South America. The new Nissan Navara comes with a bold new look, and many best-in-class technologies, including an array of Nissan Intelligent Mobility features and safety systems, making it the most advanced Navara yet.Nissan has also introduced the PRO-4X package on the new Navara, which is just a styling kit rather than an off-road package. Upfront, the facelifted Navara gets a redesigned look with updated LED headlights and C-shaped LED DRLs. The PRO-4X package (pictured in the article) comes with a black emblem, black grille, orange-accented front bumper, door handles, roof racks, and 17-inch black wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires.“The new Navara has a very recognizable look, but it’s now more imposing thanks to its high command structure, new interlocking frame grille, and new high-tech, squared C-shaped headlamps,” said Ken Lee, Nissan’s senior design director for pickups and frame SUVs.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.“We packaged the new model with a full set of advanced technologies to ensure enhanced dynamic performance on- and off-road, as well as safety and comfort ushering in a new age of toughness, tech, and peace of mind,” said Ashwani Gupta, Nissan’s chief operating officer. “For our customers it means confidence, driving pleasure, practicality, and pride of ownership.”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.The new pickup goes on sale in December in Thailand, with other markets to follow later.
