MELBOURNE: The dual-cab pick-up version of Nissan’s all-new NP300 Navara ute will go on sale in May, with prices starting at $26,490.

RX, ST and ST-X Navara trim levels will have the turbodiesel under the bonnet, and a choice of either two or four-wheel drive.
The price-leading Navara DX variant will be fitted with a 2.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.
