In the Southeast Asian region, Thailand is known as the home of the pickup truck. The country accounts for more than 70 percent of production and 30 percent of global sales, second only to the United States.
Built for both private and business use, there’s no vehicle more versatile for Thais than the pickup, and they have no shortage of choices to choose from.

It comes as no surprise then that Thai customers always get the most complete and drool-worthy feature set on their rigs. For the 2021 Nissan Navara, this means that the most powerful engine in the lineup gets to roar on Thai roads.
We’re talking about a 2.3L twin-turbo diesel mill that yields 190 hp and 450 Nm of torque, working with a 7-speed automatic gearbox. There’s a good chance that this engine will be under the hood of the Philippine-spec version.
In this scenario, the Nissan Navara could be the third pickup in our market to offer two scrolls on its oil burner, after the Ford Ranger Wildtrak and Raptor.
A 2.5L single-turbo diesel is still among the engine choices for the new pickup
If that much power sounds a little excessive for you, the 2021 Navara also comes with slightly tamer 2.3L and 2.5L single turbo diesel engines, each making 163 hp and 403 Nm of torque. These are mated to either a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic transmission.
Apart from the revised exterior as well as interior and tech upgrades, the 2021 Nissan Navara also comes with PRO-2X and PRO-4X variants, a first for the nameplate.
These are exterior upgrade packages for the 4x2 and 4x4 variants respectively, featuring black grilles and 17-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tires, as well as suspension upgrades. A black interior is also standard, embellished with the PRO-4X emblem on the leather seats.

The new model hits overseas markets by 2021
Once the 2021 Navara hits overseas markets next year, we hope that Nissan places the Philippines high on its list, given our proximity to Thailand. After all, that would be the neighborly thing to do.
