Nissan’s first plug-in hybrid for New Zealand and first electrified ute
The all-new Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV) will join the local line-up in 2027, with New Zealand (and Australia) set to become the first right-hand-drive markets globally to offer the electrified ute.
The all-new Navara Pro PHEV has been developed and extensively evaluated with the specific requirements of Oceania customers in mind and is Nissan’s first electrified ute globally, while it will also be Nissan New Zealand’s first plug-in hybrid model.
Nissan Oceania has played a central role in the development of the all-new Navara Pro PHEV for both Australia and New Zealand.
This has been considerably more than a validation exercise. Australian and New Zealand customer needs have directly influenced the evaluation and specification of the vehicle, drawing on Nissan Oceania’s experience across five generations of Navara and its deep understanding of local customer expectations, vehicle dynamics and commercial vehicle tuning for local conditions.
Electrified performance
The Oceania-specification Navara Pro PHEV pairs a 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine with a high-output electric motor integrated into an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The system delivers a preliminary 300kW of combined power and 800Nm of combined torque (subject to homologation), providing the performance and flexibility expected from a serious 4x4 workhorse while adding the efficiency and performance benefits of electrification.
The 8-speed transmission also provides broad versatility, including low-range crawling capability for demanding off-road conditions and low-rpm cruising at highway speeds for relaxed and efficient long-distance driving.
Genuine 4x4 capability
The Navara Pro PHEV has been designed first and foremost as a genuine 4x4 workhorse — not simply a ute with a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
Its off-road capability is underpinned by a mechanical 4x4 system, extensively tuned terrain and drive modes, and mechanical differential-lock capability.
Confidence for the long haul
The Navara Pro PHEV will be backed by Nissan’s commitment to ownership confidence, including the Nissan MORE 10-Year, 300,000km extended warranty (whichever occurs first, when servicing with Nissan)^, and Nissan’s dealer network across New Zealand.
*Payload is the GVM minus the Kerb mass. The kerb mass does not include passengers, luggage, cargo, any accessories fitted or any towball download (as appropriate). Payload is distributed across both the front and rear axles, never exceed the GVM or the axle limits.
‡ Towing capacity is subject to towbar/towball capacity and is based on the fitment of a Genuine Nissan towbar. Towing capacity figure described is a maximum figure. Actual towing capacity depends on the laden mass of the vehicle, driving conditions, fitment of any accessories or towing equipment limitations including the maximum towball download.
^ Up to 10 years or 300,000km (whichever occurs first), when servicing at authorised Nissan dealers. Where vehicle is not serviced through Nissan or ceases to be serviced at Nissan, additional years will not be added so 10 year/300,000km warranty (whichever occurs first) may not apply. Warranty protection will remain 5 year/150,000 km warranty (whichever occurs first), plus any additional service activated years previously added. Conditions apply.
