Nissan has officially launched the new Navara Stealth in South Africa.
The Stealth is a unique mid-range option for the locally-made Navara bakkie, which was last seen six years ago.

However, the carmaker has elected to bring back the nameplate, adding a number of bespoke cosmetics to two of its double cab units.

“Despite its name, the Stealth isn’t subtle or quiet by any means. Although it trades the striking chrome of the Navara for a bold matte and gloss black accents, its road presence is far too daring to miss,” said Maciej Klenkiewicz, Country Director for Nissan South Africa and Independent Markets Africa (IMA).
“A Navara Stealth driver is someone who’s particularly drawn to the power and precision of a masterfully engineered bakkie of this calibre, yet still wants to arrive at their destination in a vehicle that turns heads.”

The Navara Stealth is available in both 2×4 and 4×4 specifications, with prices starting at R695,200.
