2018 Nissan Navara OFF-ROADER AT32 — Original Programme
Explore the Navara OFF-ROADER AT32 — Original Programme: history, verified identity, specification references, rarity evidence and real credited photos.
Nissan launched the original Navara OFF-ROADER AT32 in Europe in June 2018 with engineering by Arctic Trucks. Suspension, larger tyres and underbody protection formed a coordinated conversion, with a snorkel and front differential lock offered separately. The programme is a documented partner-built vehicle specification rather than a badge alone. This profile preserves the original configuration and distinguishes it from later AT32 revisions or unrelated Arctic Trucks conversions.
An official Nissan and Arctic Trucks programme
Nissan identified the AT32 as its first pan-European pickup developed with a partner brand. The announcement explained that the package could be applied to Navara Double Cab versions. That supports a conversion identity, but not the assumption that every Arctic Trucks-modified Navara belongs to this exact launch specification. Preparation date, supplying market and the partner's build paperwork remain necessary for an individual-car account.

What AT32 means
The letters identify Arctic Trucks and the number refers to the nominal thirty-two-inch tyre diameter. It is not an engine size or a production count. Nissan paired the larger tyres with seventeen-inch wheels and specific suspension changes. The relationship among these components matters to the programme's identity: copying the stance with aftermarket wheels does not establish that the truck passed through the official preparation route.
Clearance and protective equipment
The original release quotes 243 mm ground clearance, compared with 223 mm for the reference standard Navara, and describes protection for major underbody components. It also lists improved approach and breakover geometry. These are dated programme references. They should not be used as a current measurement for a truck with different tyres, load or suspension, and later AT32 figures should not silently replace the launch specification. Nissan also quoted a 35-degree approach angle and 24-degree breakover angle for the launch setup. Those figures require the intended tyre and suspension configuration rather than an assumption based on the AT32 badge.

The optional equipment boundary
A snorkel and front differential lock were optional, not universal standard equipment. Nissan associated the snorkel with an 800 mm wading reference under the specified setup. A vehicle description should retain that condition rather than give every AT32 the same water-crossing capability. The presence or absence of the options also cannot be judged reliably from one photograph of the truck's opposite side or a general family image.

Tracing an individual conversion
Retain the original Nissan identification, Arctic Trucks preparation documents and component specification. Record later tyres, suspension changes, repairs and local approval paperwork separately. The programme used existing base vehicles, so conversions are not additional Nissan body-shell production. The selected announcement does not publish a completed worldwide installation total; no arbitrary quantity is derived from photographs, advertisements or the number of surviving examples currently known to enthusiasts.
