Nissan South Africa will soon add a pair of Navara Stealth double-cab bakkie derivatives to its line-up. Here’s what these locally built variants will cost you…
Remember the “Stealth” badge used on the Nissan Navara a few years back? Well, it’s making a comeback, with a pair of Navara Stealth double-cab derivatives set to launch in South Africa this week.
Arriving a little over 3 months after the Pro-4X Warrior flagship variant slotted in at the summit of the Rosslyn-built Navara portfolio, the Stealth – a nameplate last rolled out on the Navara in mid-2019 (and previously used on the since-departed NP200, too) – will be offered in both 4×2 and 4×4 guise.
First shown in Bothaville at Nampo 2025 back in May, the addition of these new Stealth offerings will see the local Navara range swell to 20 derivatives. From what we can tell, the Stealth is based on the “LE” specification.
According to our information, the Navara Stealth 4×2 will be priced from R695 200, while the Navara Stealth 4×4 will come in from R779 200. In each case, that represents a R35 000 premium over the equivalent LE derivative and sees the Stealth trim level slot in just below the “LE Plus” grade.
So, what makes a Stealth? Well, the changes are largely cosmetic. For instance, the Stealth gains the same black 17-inch alloy wheels (wrapped in Dunlop AT25 tyres) as the Pro-2X and Pro-4X derivatives, along with chunky black cladding for the front bumper (the latter incidentally available as an accessory for standard models, priced at around R7 500). In addition, the grille surrounds have been “dechromed”, though the red Nissan badge on the black grille makes way for a matte silver version.
Other updates include the addition of black roof rails and a black Stealth-branded roll bar, while the side-mirror caps, exterior door handles and side steps also gain a dark finish. The exterior overhaul is rounded off by “Stealth” decals on the lower edge of the front doors as well as on the tailgate (which furthermore features black “Navara” lettering). Inside, this model gains a Stealth-branded carpet set.
As a reminder, the LE grade includes items such as climate control, a touchscreen infotainment system, rear parking sensors, a reverse-view camera, keyless entry, rain-sensing wipers, automatic LED headlamps and 6 airbags. We’d expect these features – along with the 3 500 kg braked towing capacity and the payload (1 086 kg in the case of the 4×2 and 1 003 kg in the case of the 4×4) to carry over to the Stealth.
Under the bonnet, of course, nothing has changed. Both Stealth derivatives thus employ Nissan’s familiar 2.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine, which here delivers 140 kW and 450 Nm via a 7-speed automatic transmission as standard.
