Nissan Philippines has officially launched two new electric vehicles on our shores. One of them is the Primera, a fully electric sedan, while the other is the Navara Pro, a plug-in hybrid pickup that has its scope set on the BYD Shark 6.
A lot of you already know that Nissan developed the Navara Pro in partnership with Chinese car manufacturer Dongfeng through their joint venture Zhengzhou Nissan. The midsize pickup was previewed at the 2026 Philippine International Motor Show, and while it wasn’t on the brand’s center stage, it did receive a lot of attention.
The Navara Pro has a body-on-frame chassis, a torquey powertrain with 4×4 capability, and modern features you’d come to expect from a utilitarian electrified pickup. But first, let’s talk about the variants and prices.

The Nissan Navara Pro comes with two variants: VE and LE. The entry-level Navara Pro VE is priced at P2.498 million, while the top-spec Navara Pro LE stickers for P2.698 million. Both variants come with 4WD and have an introductory discount of P50,000.
The Navara Pro has a tough and modern design. The front fascia features an LED light bar that seamlessly connects to the headlights. A matte-black grille with silver accents completes the frowning look. The rear gets the same treatment with vertical stacked brake lights, a light bar, and illuminated Nissan badging. The higher-spec LE variant also gets a power-operated tailgate, running board, and cargo steps. Additionally, the LE also comes with a power tonneau cover for the truck bed, while both variants get a vehicle-to-load power panel with one 12V and two 220V sockets.
The side profile gets a boxy silhouette. Black accents on the pillars create a floating-roof effect, while door garnish and matte overfenders with illumination add to the rugged appeal. The pickup sits on 18-inch alloys wrapped in 265/65 R18 highway-terrain tires. For more off-road capability, you can swap the highway tires out for some all-terrains once you’ve run through the stock rubber’s tread.
Size-wise, the Navara Pro measures 5,520mm long, 1,960mm wide, and 1,950mm tall, with a 3,300 wheelbase. These numbers put the Navara Pro slightly longer and taller than the BYD Shark 6 and Toyota Hilux BEV.
Inside, the Navara Pro gets a leather steering wheel with telescopic and tilt adjustments. The seats are also finished in leather, with heating and ventilation for the driver. At night, the rearview mirror has auto-dimming to protect your eyes from high-beam lights from behind.
The cockpit uses a 10-inch digital instrument panel, while the dashboard gets a 14.6-inch touchscreen with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s also a 50W wireless charger with ventilation and two USB-A sockets in the center console. The rear, meanwhile, gets USB-A and USB-C sockets for second-row occupants. The LE variant comes with a 12-speaker Focal premium audio system, while the VL is equipped with a six-speaker standard sound system.
Power windows are standard on all doors. The rear doors can swing open up to 90 degrees, while the rear seats can flip up to reveal under-seat storage dividers. The Navara Pro also has auto-lock when you walk away from the vehicle and auto-unlock when you approach.
The Navara Pro’s plug-in hybrid powertrain features a 1.5-liter gasoline engine and a permanent-magnet synchronous motor hooked to a 20.24kWh battery. The setup delivers 209hp and 350Nm from the electric motor, and 141hp and 220Nm from the engine.
The pickup uses a Type 2 charging port and has an AC charging time of three hours from 20% to 100%. While Nissan Philippines hasn’t published the combined range, the Navara Pro’s EV range is listed at 75km.
For off-road driving, the Navara Pro uses a selectable 4WD system with an electronic rear locking differential. To soak up bumps, the rear uses a multi-link suspension system over traditional leaf springs. Wading depth is listed at 700mm.
Nissan has spec’d both variants of the Navara Pro with its Intelligent Mobility driver-assist system. The pickup gets ProPilot, which features adaptive cruise control, lane-departure prevention, and traffic jam assist. There’s also a 3D around-view monitor with moving object detection.
Other ADAS features include intelligent forward-collision warning, autonomous emergency braking, lane-keep assist, blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, high beam assist, and hill descent control.
Additionally, owners also have the option to use the MyNISSAN Connect app to use remote control functions and check charging status, vehicle status, and vehicle location.
