Take a walk around the first-ever Nissan Patrol Warrior by Premcar

A product of Nissan and Premcar&#8217;s lauded partnership, the Navara SL Warrior is based on the popular SL 4WD dual cab, and unlocks a new entry point to the Warrior family for Australian ute buyers.
Priced at MSRP $58,000 (manual) or MSRP $60,500 (auto) the SL Warrior joins the PRO-4X Warrior in Nissan&#8217;s made-for-Australia ute program, with new adventure-ready equipment, increased off-road capability and suspension tuned in Australia for Australian conditions.
&#8220;We&#8217;re thrilled with the response to the Premcar Warrior program to date, and we want as many people to experience these made-for-Australia products as possible,&#8221; says Nissan Australia Managing Director Adam Paterson.
&#8220;With the new Navara SL Warrior by Premcar, a new and more accessible entry point to the Warrior family has been developed, but one that&#8217;s no less comfortable on the road, and no less capable off it.
&#8220;The SL Warrior will add to Australian Navara sales, rather than subtract from it, with Nissan Australia securing additional units to meet demand. It is further proof of how highly the Warrior program is regarded.&#8221;

Nissan has unveiled the newest member of its locally developed ute family, the Nissan Navara SL Warrior by Premcar.

Time to get tough: introducing the Nissan Navara SL Warrior

The Navara SL WARRIOR will expand Nissan&#8217;s locally developed ute range, with the new model joining the Navara PRO-4X WARRIOR by Premcar in the made-for-Australia Warrior family.
Like its PRO-4X WARRIOR big brother, the Navara SL WARRIOR has undergone extensive local testing, tuning and validation to deliver a ute perfectly suited to Australian roads and conditions.
&#8220;We know how popular the Warrior program has been in Australia,&#8221; says Nissan Australia Managing Director, Adam Paterson.
&#8220;With a comprehensive list of equipment as well as its tough, aggressive look, the Navara SL WARRIOR will not only expand the program&#8217;s appeal, but also its accessibility,&#8221;
&#8220;We can&#8217;t wait to show you what Premcar has been working on.&#8221;

The wait is almost over for the Nissan Navara SL WARRIOR by Premcar, with the full pricing and specification details of the most accessible Warrior to date to be revealed soon.

Ready For A New Warrior?

A true Warrior 2.0, the Navara PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar adopts the improvements made by Nissan and the new Navara PRO-4X, and has also reacted to real-world customer feedback to create a unique flagship vehicle that is tailor-made for Australia and Australian conditions.
As part of its development, the Navara PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar has also been put to the real-world test, with a range of performance and durability validations for Australian conditions, including thermal performance, noise vibration and harshness (NVH), as well as on-and off-road testing in Victoria.
Acting as the new halo model to the Navara range, the new Warrior was locally developed by leading automotive-engineering company Premcar at its state-of-the-art facility in Epping, Victoria.
With a long and successful history at the forefront of vehicle re-engineering in Australia, Premcar&#8217;s Warrior program is now made up of 35 engineers, manufacturing experts and executives, with this talented team set the challenge of further improving the Warrior formula for the PRO-4X.
To do it, Premcar has built on the already-impressive PRO-4X, enhancing its performance and capability with wheel, tyre and suspension enhancements to deliver improved ground clearance, a wider stance and improved ride and handling.
There&#8217;s also improved capability via the winch-compatible bullbar, Navara-branded bashplate and additional underbody protection, a full-size spare, modified towbar and a GVM upgrade to deliver outstanding payload and towing.
&#8220;We set out to create the world&#8217;s toughest Navara, and that&#8217;s exactly what we&#8217;ve achieved with this new Warrior,&#8221; says Premcar Engineering Director, Bernie Quinn.
&#8220;This needed to be a vehicle that customers will enjoy on and off the road, delivering comfort and capability no matter the conditions, all while expanding the robustness of the Navara, and enhancing its go-anywhere toughness.
&#8220;The result is a Warrior that&#8217;s tougher, safer and smarter, but no less practical and capable.
&#8220;While we were immensely proud of the N-TREK Warrior, there are always learnings and improvements to be made, and this new Warrior improves the formula right across the board.&#8221;

Nissan has today revealed the new Navara PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar, with the locally developed and tested dual-cab ute to write a new chapter in the Warrior story.

The real deal: Navara PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar revealed

The Nissan Navara PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar was the second model released through the Warrior program — a successor to the Navara N-Trek Warrior — and it has proved an instant success, with the Premcar team having now built more than 1000 examples of the world’s toughest Navara in Victoria.
The popularity of the Nissan Navara PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar will now see the Warrior program expand, with the Navara SL Warrior to introduce a new entry point to the family. A Nissan Patrol Warrior concept is also under study.
The program expansion was confirmed yesterday to Nissan’s dealer network, along with the new Qashqai, X-Trail, Pathfinder, and flagship Z performance coupe, as Nissan prepares for one of its biggest six-month periods in its history.
“I’m thrilled to announce the expansion of the Warrior program, developed in collaboration with Premcar, which has proven immensely popular in Australia,” says Nissan Australia Managing Director, Adam Paterson.
“With the Navara SL Warrior by Premcar, a new and more accessible entry point will join the Warrior family, ensuring even more customers can experience the world’s toughest Navara for themselves.
“The Nissan Patrol is also currently under study by Premcar to further broaden its capability, both on and off the road.
“Our collaboration with Premcar is guided by the development of vehicles that are perfectly suited to Australian customers and conditions.”

The lauded Nissan Warrior by Premcar program is set to expand, with the success of the Nissan Navara PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar to inspire a new, locally developed model that is tailor-made for Australia and Australian conditions.

Made for Australia: Nissan Warrior by Premcar program set to expand

A 12-month development program has seen the Navara PRO-4X Warrior put through its paces at the Australian Automotive Research Centre (AARC), as well as more than three month&#8217;s testing in Victoria&#8217;s Big Desert Wilderness Park — famed for producing a wide variety of rough and rugged tracks that simulate those found right across Australia.
&#8220;We have done literally tens of thousands of kilometres at the AARC alone,&#8221; says Bernie Quinn, Engineering Director at Premcar.
&#8220;There&#8217;s a high-speed circuit, a noise-calibration surface, off-road tracks, durability circuits. The military uses it to ensure its vehicles are tough enough, and it was the perfect place to put the Warrior 2.0 through its paces.&#8221;
One of the core targets of the new Warrior program was to broaden the Navara&#8217;s capability, rather than shift it. So every change made to improve the ute&#8217;s off-road capability was then tested on regular road surfaces to make sure everyday ride and handling was never compromised.

When Premcar and Nissan say the Navara PRO-4X Warrior is made for Australia, it&#8217;s more than just words.

Building a homegrown hero: How the Navara PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar was engineered for Australia

Development and testing is now complete on the locally developed Navara flagship, and the countdown is now on to the official launch of the Navara PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar.
Premcar has been Nissan&#8217;s core engineering partner since the launch of the lauded Warrior program, with vehicles re-engineered in Victoria to create tough flagship models that are tailor-made for Australian conditions.
That legacy began with the Navara N-TREK Warrior in 2019, and will continue with the launch of the Navara PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar in September — a vehicle that improves on the Warrior formula in every key area, from safety to technology, capability to payload.
Starting at just MSRP $67,4901 for a manual-equipped variant, and $69,9901 for the automatic-equipped variant, the PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar presents incredible value, pairing the safety, technology and comfort enhancements already found in the Navara PRO-4X with a host of engineering upgrades designed specifically for Australia&#8217;s unique and rugged landscape.
The result is a vehicle engineered for Australian conditions, whether on the road or off it, and a dual-cab ute designed from the outset to be the toughest Navara in the world.
&#8220;The PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar is a true Warrior 2.0, delivering more technology, more capability and more go-anywhere toughness than any Navara before it,&#8221; says Premcar Engineering Director, Bernie Quinn.
&#8220;We set out to create the most capable Navara ever, and this new Warrior is exactly that.  It&#8217;s been engineered from the ground up to tackle the toughest terrain Australia can deliver, all without sacrificing comfort.
&#8220;Any new model should be a true evolution, and that&#8217;s exactly what we&#8217;ve achieved with this Warrior. It benefits from all of our learnings, our customer feedback, and from the improvements made to the Navara PRO-4X, creating a new dual-cab ute that is tailor-made for Australian conditions.
&#8220;Now all that&#8217;s left is to get people behind the wheel, and that time is almost here.&#8221;

Australia is set to welcome a new Warrior, with the Navara PRO-4X Warrior to arrive in Nissan dealerships nationally from September 1.
