- Navara PRO combines Nissan’s 12-generation pickup legacy with modern design and robust performance
- A versatile solution for both commercial fleet operations and retail customers, featuring two powerful ICE variants
- The first China-made Nissan vehicle to be introduced to the Middle East under the “Re:Nissan” global plan
Dubai, UAE (28 April 2026) – Following its global reveal, the all-new Nissan Navara PRO pickup is set to be exported from China to multiple international markets, with the Middle East positioned as a primary destination. Engineered to serve as a high-utility asset for commercial fleets while offering a refined experience for retail buyers, the Navara PRO represents a significant milestone in the Re:Nissan global strategy: the first-ever Nissan vehicle manufactured in China to be introduced to the Middle East.
Under the global “Re:Nissan” plan, Nissan is intensifying its focus on the Middle East by prioritizing large SUVs while exploring high-quality products from China to complement its regional lineup. The Navara PRO arrives with a legacy of more than two decades in the region, backed by Nissan’s 12 generations of pickup reliability and trust. With two robust ICE variants for uncompromising capability, the all-new Navara PRO provides a versatile platform that balances the high-volume demands of the commercial fleet sector with the lifestyle expectations of individual owners.
“The Navara PRO combines Nissan’s decades-long history as a pickup leader with the latest advanced powertrain and tech innovations. It will deliver efficient, effortless performance with the quality and intrepid spirit that has been infused in Nissan pickups for nearly 100 years,” said Richard Candler, Corporate Executive, Family, Product & Components Strategy, Nissan Motor Co. Ltd.
Massimiliano Messina, Nissan AMIEO [Africa, Middle East, India, Europe & Oceania region] Chairperson said: “The Middle East is a cornerstone of Nissan’s global strategy. We are investing in bold, innovative products as part of a product offensive in the region which will continue to build our brand and meet the high expectations of our customers. The all-new Navara PRO will be a key pillar in our growth ambitions in the Middle East.”
Commenting on the regional significance, Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President, President Middle East, KSA, CIS & India – Nissan, INFINITI, said: “By introducing the all-new Navara PRO – our first vehicle from China for this region, we are directly addressing the demand for versatile, rugged, and high-performance pickups. With its deep-rooted legacy in our markets and its reputation for reliability, the Navara PRO is engineered to excel in our unique environment, ensuring our fleet as well as retail customers enjoy a seamless transition between demanding workdays and off-road adventures.”
Built for the Middle East: Rugged, Refined, and Proven
Styled around a “Rugged Tech” concept, the Navara PRO features a bold, muscular exterior that commands attention on and off the road. This rugged aesthetic is balanced by a modern, spacious interior designed for comfort and versatility, making it an ideal choice for large-scale commercial fleets requiring durability, as well as retail customers seeking a dependable vehicle for family weekend trips.
Key highlights of the Middle East-bound Navara PRO include:
- Tested for the Region: Extensively validated to ensure durability and performance in the Middle East’s unique climate and terrain.
- Dual-Purpose Versatility: Highly adaptable specifications that cater to both heavy-duty commercial use and robust off-road recreational capability.
- Practical Safety and Comfort: Equipped with essential safety features and a refined cabin that prioritizes a secure and comfortable environment for all occupants.
The upcoming launch of the Navara PRO follows an intensive product offensive by Nissan in the Middle East over the past year. This strategic expansion was spearheaded by the all-new Patrol and its most comprehensive lineup yet, including the region’s first-ever Patrol PRO-4X and the track-inspired Patrol NISMO, the most powerful Patrol ever built.
This momentum has also seen Nissan break into new segments with the all-new Magnite, the latest addition to the SUV and crossover family and the first-ever nameplate of its kind for Nissan in the region. Coupled with the launch of the all-new KICKS, Nissan continues to modernize its portfolio to meet every lifestyle and business need. As the company moves into FY26, the Navara PRO leads an upcoming wave of new models designed to further solidify Nissan’s leadership and commitment to meeting every lifestyle and business need in Middle East.
The Navara PRO is a product of Nissan’s joint venture in China, Zhengzhou Nissan Automobile Co., Ltd (Zhengzhou Nissan), representing the first pickup trucks designed, developed, and manufactured in China for global export.
Further details regarding the Middle East launch and full technical specifications will be shared at a later date.
