The Nissan NT100 Clipper is a Japanese kei-class light truck with a compact cab, flat cargo tray and practical load-carrying design. Built as Nissan’s version of the Suzuki Carry, it offers a 660cc petrol engine, two-wheel drive or part-time four-wheel drive, and several factory grades suited to everyday commercial and agricultural work.
Nissan’s DR16T-generation NT100 Clipper was updated in August 2021 with broader standard safety equipment, including Vehicle Dynamic Control and automatic headlights across the range, plus hill-start assist and brake LSD on designated grades, and a reinforced four-leaf rear suspension on the DX Farming Specification. In April 2022, Nissan replaced the three-speed automatic with a four-speed automatic, added idle-stop technology, and changed GX headlights from halogen to LED. Nissan later shortened the model’s Japanese name to Clipper Truck in 2024.
