Nissan will officially unveil its next generation Navara ute in November, and in the lead up to this milestone event, the company has released a short teaser film celebrating the pickup’s heritage here in Australia.
Since its Australian debut in December 1986, the Navara has evolved from a simple, honest workhorse into one of the country’s most trusted and versatile pickup trucks, with over 420,000 vehicles sold across the continent.
The film, part of Nissan’s ‘Defy Ordinary’ campaign, traces the Navara’s evolution through four decades of Australian life – from early morning starts on construction sites to boat ramps and weekend family adventures, showcasing how the vehicle has adapted to meet changing needs.
“For nearly 40 years, Navara has been writing its story alongside Australia’s own evolution,” says Andrew Humberstone, Managing Director, Nissan Oceania.
“Every generation has learned from the previous one, and every Australian customer has taught us something about what matters most in a ute.”
The new Navara is set to draw on this heritage, incorporating design elements that pay homage to previous generations while delivering the capability and technology today’s driver demands.
The heritage film is part of the lead-up to the global unveiling of the new Navara on November 19, 2025, which is set to officially launch in Australia and New Zealand in H1 2026.
