Gadronics Robotic lawn mowers have been getting steadily more capable, but NexLawn’s latest model is clearly aimed at a very specific audience: people with a lot of grass to cut.
The newly announced NAVIA 6000 AWD is designed for extra-large and complex lawns, covering areas of up to 1.5 acres without boundary wires or external base stations. At its heart is NexLawn’s NexNav positioning system, which combines RTK-style positioning, AI stereo vision, and 360-degree LiDAR.
Together, those sensors allow the mower to map yards with centimetre-level accuracy, recognise hundreds of different obstacles, and handle tricky layouts with slopes, trees, and multiple zones. It’s a wire-free setup, which immediately makes it more appealing for larger properties where installing perimeter cables would be a serious job.
The mower’s all-wheel-drive system is another standout. With four independently driven motors and air suspension, the NAVIA 6000 AWD is built to cope with demanding terrain, including steep inclines of up to 80% and obstacles up to 2.4 inches high. NexLawn says it can mow close to an acre per day, even with charging sessions limited to around two hours.
Cutting performance is equally heavy-duty. An expansive 15.8-inch dual-blade deck is paired with an adjustable cutting height, while NexTrim technology physically extends the blades during edge passes to trim closer to borders than most robot mowers can manage. The result should be cleaner edges with far less need for manual touch-ups.
Beyond raw power, the NAVIA also brings smarter automation. It can adapt mowing patterns based on grass growth, manage different zones independently, pause automatically in the rain, and stop instantly if pets or wildlife are detected.
The NexLawn NAVIA 6000 AWD launches in North America and Europe in spring 2026, priced at $3,999. It’s undeniably expensive, but for owners of sprawling, challenging lawns, it could be one of the most capable hands-off mowing solutions yet.
