Nissan Philippines has expanded its electrified lineup with the launch of the All-New Nissan Primera, a fully electric executive sedan, and the All-New Nissan Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid, a 4×4 pickup. Both models carry established Nissan nameplates into electrified form for Filipino motorists.
“Electrification is creating new opportunities for the automotive industry, and Nissan is embracing these changes through continued innovation,” said Nissan Philippines President Yoshinori Kanazawa. “Our always daring spirit drives us to explore new possibilities and bring Nissan’s global technologies to more markets. With the All-New Nissan Primera and Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid, we are taking another step in that direction here in the Philippines.”
Nissan Primera
Nissan first introduced the Primera in 1990. It went through three generations and became a popular sedan in Europe and Japan. Its Philippine debut marks the nameplate’s return as an all-electric executive sedan.
Exterior features include full LED lighting with sequential turn signals, an illuminated Nissan emblem, frameless doors, and flush door handles. It rides on 18-inch alloy wheels.
Inside, the front seats use Nissan’s Zero Gravity design and offer massage, ventilation, and heating for the driver and front passenger. A 15.6-inch central display handles vehicle controls and monitoring, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A panoramic glass roof and ambient lighting complete the cabin.
The electric powertrain delivers 218 PS and 305 Nm of torque, supported by a 58 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. Nissan quotes a driving range of up to 500 kilometers. With compatible DC fast charging, the battery can go from 10% to 80% in approximately 19 minutes.
Nissan ProPILOT provides driver assistance in supported conditions, and a 3D Intelligent Around View Monitor assists with parking in tight spaces. Other safety features are Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and High Beam Assist.
Pricing starts at ₱2,099,000. A ₱100,000 special discount brings the launch price to ₱1,999,000. The launch promo includes a portable charger, a home wall charger, and a three-year MyNISSAN Connect subscription. Buyers can choose from Radiant Silver Metallic, Obsidian Black Pearl, and Glacier White Pearl, all paired with a gray interior.
Nissan Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid
Nissan says the Navara line draws on nine decades of pickup history and has built a reputation among Filipino owners for durability, comfort, and capability. The new plug-in hybrid version adds an updated design and a plug-in hybrid powertrain.
The system pairs a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine rated at 143 PS and 220 Nm with an electric motor producing 212 PS and 350 Nm. Locally tested by the Automobile Association of the Philippines (AAP), it achieved a certified driving range of up to 1,150 kilometers on a full tank and a fully charged battery under real-world driving.
Styling combines Nissan’s current design language with the D21’s three-slot LED lighting signature at the front. It also gets distinctive taillights and 18-inch alloy wheels.
The cabin has a six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with ventilation and heating, and a rear multi-link suspension for ride comfort. A 14.6-inch central display supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 12-speaker Focal sound system handles audio. For practicality, the rear doors open to 90 degrees, and the rear seats flip up and fold down. Removable under-seat storage is also fitted. A Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) power panel lets compatible external devices draw power from the vehicle.
For off-road use, the pickup has an intelligent 4WD system and an electronic locking rear differential. It has 232 mm of ground clearance, 700 mm of water-wading capability, and a towing capacity of 3,500 kg.
Safety and driver-assistance features include Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Emergency Braking, Intelligent Cruise Control, High Beam Assist, Lane Keep Assist, and Hill Descent Control.
The Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid comes in two variants. The LE has an SRP of ₱2,698,000 and a launch price of ₱2,648,000 after a ₱50,000 discount. The VL has an SRP of ₱2,498,000 and a launch price of ₱2,448,000 after the same discount. Both come with a home wall charger and a three-year MyNISSAN Connect subscription. Color options are Pearl White, Stardust Metallic Gray, Obsidian Black Pearl, and Retro Yellow Pearl.
Nissan also updated its MyNISSAN Connect service, which now has 34 new features for accessing vehicle functions and information through connected devices. For the Primera, these include Mobile Key for keyless access, display audio integration, battery monitoring, and over-the-air software updates. Buyers of both models get a complimentary three-year subscription.
