Nissan Philippines just added two very different electrified models to its lineup: the All-New Nissan Primera, a fully electric executive sedan, and the All-New Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid, a 4x4 pickup with a plug. I was at the launch, and it's an interesting duo.
All-New Nissan Primera
The Primera name first appeared in 1990 and was a favorite sedan in Europe and Japan. It now makes its Philippine debut as an all-electric executive sedan.
- Power: 218 PS and 305 Nm
- Battery: 58 kWh LFP
- Range: up to 500 km
- Fast charging: 10% to 80% in about 19 minutes on compatible DC chargers
- 15.6-inch central display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Zero Gravity front seats with massage, ventilation and heating
- Panoramic glass roof, frameless doors and 18-inch wheels
Launch price: ₱1,999,000, with a portable charger, a home wall charger and a 3-year MyNISSAN Connect subscription. Colors are Radiant Silver, Obsidian Black and Glacier White.
All-New Navara Pro Plug-in Hybrid
The Navara gets electrified without losing its tough pickup character.
- 1.5-liter engine (143 PS) plus an electric motor (212 PS, 350 Nm)
- Up to 1,150 km combined range, as tested locally by AAP
- Intelligent 4WD with an electronic locking rear differential
- 232 mm ground clearance and 700 mm water wading
- 3,500 kg towing capacity
- Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) power for external devices
- 14.6-inch display and a 12-speaker Focal sound system
Launch prices: ₱2,448,000 for the VL and ₱2,648,000 for the LE, with a ₱50,000 discount, a home wall charger and a 3-year MyNISSAN Connect subscription. It comes in four colors, including a fun Retro Yellow.
Connected and safer
MyNISSAN Connect now has 34 new features, including Mobile Key, battery monitoring and over-the-air updates for the Primera. Both models get Nissan Intelligent Mobility safety features like Intelligent Emergency Braking and Blind Spot Warning, plus ProPILOT on the Primera.

Both models were on display at the Nissan Intelligent Mobility Tour 7.0 from November 6 to 8 at Bonifacio High Street in BGC, SM Seaside City in Cebu and SM Lanang Premier in Davao, with test drives available starting at 10 AM. The accessorized Navara Pro PHEV was also on show for those who want a more rugged look.
Quick take
The Primera is priced right at the ₱2 million mark, which puts it in a competitive EV sedan space. The Navara Pro PHEV is the one I'm most curious about. A pickup that can do daily city runs on electricity and still tow, wade and go off-road is a compelling mix for Filipino families and weekend adventurers.
