Nissan Navara — TIMING CHAIN OR BELT?

MODEL LIST - (UPDATED 2023)

| Home/ Nissan / List of Nissan Navara Models without Timing Belt

The Nissan Navara is a midsize pickup truck manufactured by the Japanese marque Nissan. It is marketed under multiple names. Although the most widespread name of this vehicle is Nissan Navara, throughout history it has been sold as Terrano, Hardbody or NP-300. However, all these models fall under a generic, considered “Nissan Frontier“.

The predecessor of the Navara were the Datsun pickups, being 1997 the year in which the Frontier brand was first announced (until then they were known as Datsun and later as Nissan D21 and D22). It was from 2005, with the arrival of the third generation (chassis D40) when the model started to be called Nissan Navara. Already in this generation, Nissan began to license pickup models such as the Suzuki Equator, a vehicle that was assembled entirely by them.

The fourth and current generation arrived in 2014, being renamed Nissan NP300 Navara. Thanks to agreements between Renault, Nissan and Mercedes-Benz, this vehicle would serve as the basis for the Renault Alaskan and Mercedes-Benz X-Class pickups.

In total, there are 4 generations of the Nissan Frontier / Navara. That is if we take into account the versions that were sold as Nissan after the disappearance of the Datsun brand. The Navara competes directly against off-road vehicles such as the Toyota Hilux, the Chevrolet S10, the Volkswagen Amarok or the legendary Ford Ranger.

Nissan Navara. Timing Belt or Timing Chain?

Down below you will see a list with all Nissan Navara models that have been produced. They are classified by model identifier, year and type of bodywork. Above each list, we show you a series of pictures so that you can have a visual reference for each model. In some cases, both the original and its updated design are displayed to help you identify them with ease.

In this guide you will find all Nissan Navara.

■ Timing Belt / Cam Belt (Correa / Faja de Distribución)
■ Timing Chain (Cadena de Distribución / Cadena de Tiempo)
■ Gear Driven (Distribución por Engranajes)
■ 100% Electric, No Timing (Sin Distribución)
■ Unknown / Not Updated (Información desconocida)

If a car model is specified in blue, it means its motor engine has a timing chain; that is, it has no timing belt. The rest of the vehicles marked in grey have a timing belt/cam belt.
