Nissan brings a new era of pickup mobility to Iloilo with the local unveiling of the All-New Nissan Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid, introducing a combination of electrified performance, four-wheel-drive capability, and everyday versatility to Western Visayas motorists.
Launched locally on November 13, 2026, at SM City Iloilo, the new pickup brings plug-in hybrid technology to the Navara nameplate, blending the toughness expected from a pickup with the advantages of an electrified powertrain.
Carrying the tagline “Unleash the Daring. Anywhere,” the Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid represents Nissan’s move to expand electrification into a vehicle segment traditionally associated with diesel-powered performance and utility.
For Nissan Iloilo General Manager Ms. Iris Molina, the introduction goes beyond simply adding another vehicle to the market.
“This is not just a launch of a new vehicle, but a celebration of innovation, mobility and performance of the new Nissan Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid. This Navara Pro is a vehicle that can handle not only the challenges of the road but also the demands of work, family adventures, and business,” Molina said.
Her statement underscores the vehicle’s intended role as a versatile pickup for motorists who need a capable work vehicle while also looking for comfort and convenience for everyday driving and leisure.
Electrified power meets pickup capability
At the heart of the Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid is a powertrain that combines a 1.5-liter four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with an electric drive motor and a 20.24-kWh lithium-ion battery.
The gasoline engine delivers 143 PS and 220 Nm of torque, while the electric motor produces 212 PS and 350 Nm of torque. The combination is designed to provide responsive acceleration and electrified driving performance while retaining the extended driving capability of a conventional engine.
The battery can be charged through an external power source and regenerative braking, allowing the vehicle to utilize electric power for driving and additional performance when needed.
Nissan reports a driving range of up to 1,150 kilometers on a full tank and fully charged battery, based on local testing conducted with the Automobile Association of the Philippines.
The system is paired with an automatic four-speed hybrid transmission, bringing together electric propulsion and gasoline-powered performance.
Built for challenging roads
While electrification is a major highlight, Nissan retains the pickup’s off-road credentials through its Intelligent 4WD system.
The Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid features selectable 2H, AUTO, 4H, and 4L driving modes, allowing drivers to adapt to different road and terrain conditions.
It also comes with an electronic locking rear differential to help improve traction on challenging surfaces.
With 232 mm of ground clearance, 700 mm of water-wading capability, and a towing capacity of 3,500 kilograms, the pickup is equipped for demanding drives, outdoor adventures, and work-related requirements.
Its rear multi-link suspension system is designed to provide improved ride comfort, helping balance its utility as a pickup with the comfort expected for daily use.
Technology and convenience inside and out
The Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid also brings modern technology into the cabin, highlighted by a 14.6-inch central infotainment display.
Other features include a premium 12-speaker Focal sound system, heated and ventilated front seats, and an array of driver-assistance and safety technologies.
One of its notable innovations is Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology, which allows the vehicle to supply electricity to external devices and equipment through dedicated power outlets. This adds another layer of practicality for outdoor activities, work requirements, and situations where portable power is useful.
The pickup also supports MyNISSAN Connect, Nissan’s connected-car service that allows owners to access selected vehicle information and functions through their connected devices.
Available in two variants
The All-New Nissan Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid is offered in two variants in the Philippine market: LE and VL.
The LE carries a suggested retail price of ₱2,698,000, while the VL is priced at ₱2,498,000.
For its launch promotion, the LE is offered at ₱2,648,000 and the VL at ₱2,448,000. The ownership package includes a home wall charger and a complimentary three-year MyNISSAN Connect subscription.
Buyers can choose from four exterior colors: Pearl White, Stardust Metallic Gray, Obsidian Black Pearl, and Retro Yellow Pearl.
A new direction for pickup mobility
The arrival of the Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid in Iloilo signals another development in the growing availability of electrified vehicles in the Philippine market.
For pickup buyers, the introduction presents a different proposition: a vehicle that combines the versatility and capability of a traditional pickup with the benefits of plug-in hybrid technology.
From business and work requirements to family trips and outdoor adventures, Nissan positions the Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid as a vehicle designed to meet a variety of driving needs.
With its local unveiling, Nissan Iloilo gives Ilonggo motorists an opportunity to discover how electrification can bring new possibilities to the pickup segment.
The Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid is not simply about going electric. It is about bringing electrified performance into a vehicle built to take on more.
