In the worldwide automotive market including the Philippines, it has been observed that a lot of car manufacturers have gone on to release really interesting limited edition variants of their vehicles most especially pick-up trucks.
While these class of vehicles was in the past built for their practical and rugged simplicity, in recent times until today however both consumers and the manufacturers themselves have recognized that the pick-up truck can be more than that.
Is Nissan Navara 2019 Black Edition worth being a "dent" in your budget?
Take for example the Nissan Navara Black Edition which is quite an improvement in terms of looks and on-board technologies over the vanilla Nissan Navara that we know and love. Let's continue with Philkotse.com.
1. Nissan Navara 2019 black edition: A more aggressive-looking Navara
Coming in four variants, the Nissan Navara Black Edition for the Philippines is quite a departure appearance-wise from the Navara Black Edition II released a couple of months ago in Thailand.
While the Black Edition 2 in Thailand came with an “in-your-face” looking decal on its sides along with those beefy fender flares, the Philippine Navara Black Edition is instead much more subtle in showing off its tough and rugged personality. But in comparing it to a normal Nissan Navara 2019, the Black Edition really stands out.
While you can actually have several color choices for the body of the truck itself, the 18-inch wheels, the housing which surrounds the fog lights, the door handles, the side mirrors, and the running boards are all clad in black with just the right amount of orange accents.

There’s also the tastefully designed and very crisp looking graphics which run straight across the lower parts of the doors which we think is more appropriate looking that the one that came with the Thai Black Edition 2.
While the interior of other Nissan Navara in of itself is already great, the one that comes with the Navara Black Edition is a further improvement. It comes with a leather-fabric cover with orange stitching for the seats and a very useful electronically actuated driver’s seat.
2. Nissan Navara 2019 black edition: Not just tough but smart too
While the interior and exterior have been made to look impressively strong and tough, there are some things that Nissan gave the Navara Black Edition which we could say, makes it really intelligent.
The dark theme does wonders in making the interior feel more premium
We say intelligent because that’s what it is exactly; Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility system. What does it do? In a way, it enables you, the driver to clearly see what’s going on around your vehicle. This is thanks to the Around View Monitor which can get you a virtual bird’s-eye view.
Through the 8-inch infotainment system, you can also set-up how you would like to see it with a split-screen arrangement. From the front end to the rear, even from the sides, the Around View Monitor can see it all which is of course very useful for parking and yes…off-roading.

Nissan Navara Launch
The Nissan Navara got its name from a region in Northern Spain, the Navarre. Its first-generation model was released in 1997 and got a facelift in 2000, while the second generation was unveiled in 2004 featuring a redesigned compact body with the Nissan F-Alpha platform.
And now, Nissan Philippines introduced the facelifted model of the third-generation model of the midsize pickup truck this 2025.

Nissan Navara Exterior
The biggest visual change on the 2025 Navara is found on the front end. It gains a larger grille, a more angular front bumper, and a new pair of quad LED headlights. Looking at the new front end, especially on the top-spec Pro-4X, reminds us of the Nissan Titan for the American market. Other front fascia changes include the new headlamps are the new, daytime running lamps, which assume a futuristic, angular design
2025 Nissan Navara facelift
Moving on towards the rear, the midsize pickup truck gains a more modern-looking tailgate. The taillights feature a revamped design that features a C-shaped LED lighting element. In terms of style, the Pro-4X is clearly the most imposing with its black-colored grille and trim pieces. For an additional splash of color, this trim also receives orange accents found on the over-fenders, as well as the faux-recovery hooks on the plastic skid plate.
Nissan Navara Interior
When the facelift model was introduced in the Philippines, much of the interior remained the same as compared to the outgoing model. The door cards are a combination of soft and hard surfaces, but the dashboard is still mostly made out of textured, sturdy plastic. Zero gravity-type seats are installed in the cabin with the VL and PRO-4X variants utilizing leather, while the lower-trim VE and EL variants come with fabric.
Interior view of the Nissan Navara
Standard features in the 2025 Nissan Navara include two cupholders and bottle holders each in the front and the rear, four USB ports for charging, high type meter with a 7-inch color TFT display (except for the base EL variant only), an armrest for the rear passengers, and door pockets in the front and rear.
