reports Nissan’s Yuanye Z9 has appeared in a ******** Ministry of Industry and Information Technology filing.

The outlet reports the Yuanye Z9 offers a choice of a 2.0-litre petrol engine with either 182kW or 190kW of power, or a 3.0-litre diesel with 140kW.

At 5520mm long, it sits between the current dual-cab Navara (5260mm) and the dual-cab, long-tub version of the US-market Frontier (5692mm).

(5320mm) on a longer wheelbase (3130mm). The next Navara is expected to be based on the Triton, which was launched here early this year.

It’s unclear what platform this ******** ute rides on and, if it’s unrelated to the current Triton, whether we will at least see a similar design language on the next Navara.

Here’s how the Yuanye Z9 compares with the current Navara and Triton dual-cab utes.

It’s unclear just where this ute fits into Nissan’s plans.

The brand doesn’t currently offer a ute in China, though its ****** venture partner Dongfeng offers a version of the current Navara through its namesake brand – called the Rich 6 – which can also be had with electric power.

The current Navara is approaching the end of its lifecycle, with a new generation due in 2026. Nissan intends to offer plug-in hybrid power,

, though it will also be available with a traditional diesel powertrain.

While Nissan launched a new Ford Ranger rival in North America in 2022 with the D41-series Frontier, this is a heavy update of the old D40 Navara that was replaced here back in 2014.
