The present article introduces, mathematically analyzes, and numerically validates a new weak Galerkin (WG) mixed-FEM based on Banach spaces for the stationary Navier--Stokes equation in pseudostress-velocity formulation. More precisely, a modified pseudostress tensor, called $ \boldsymbol{\sigma} $, depending on the pressure, and the diffusive and convective terms has been introduced in the proposed technique, and a dual-mixed variational formulation has been derived where the aforementioned pseudostress tensor and the velocity, are the main unknowns of the system, whereas the pressure is computed via a post-processing formula. Thus, it is sufficient to provide a WG space for the tensor variable and a space of piecewise polynomial vectors of total degree at most 'k' for the velocity. Moreover, in order to define the weak discrete bilinear form, whose continuous version involves the classical divergence operator, the weak divergence operator as a well-known alternative for the classical divergence operator in a suitable discrete subspace is proposed. The well-posedness of the numerical solution is proven using a fixed-point approach and the discrete versions of the Babu\v{s}ka-Brezzi theory and the Banach-Ne\v{c}as-Babu\v{s}ka theorem. Additionally, an a priori error estimate is derived for the proposed method. Finally, several numerical results illustrating the method's good performance and confirming the theoretical rates of convergence are presented.
