Nissan introduces Navara SL Warrior to dealer network

Nissan Australia has told its dealership network that it is expanding its partnership program with Premcar to introduce a new entry point to the family in the Navara SL Warrior, and a Nissan Patrol Warrior concept is also being considered.

The expansion of the Warrior by Premcar program was confirmed on May 9 by Nissan to the Australian dealer network, along with the new Qashqai, X-Trail, Pathfinder, and Z coupe, as the brand prepares for one of the biggest six month product offensives yet.

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 successful, with the Premcar team having built more than 1000 examples in Victoria according to Nissan Australia.

 “I’m thrilled to announce the expansion of the Warrior program, developed in collaboration with Premcar, which has proven immensely popular in Australia,” Nissan Australia managing director Adam Paterson says.

“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,” Paterson says.

Acting as a new entry point to the Warrior family, Nissan Australia says the Navara SL Warrior by Premcar delivers the broad range of on- and off-road capability that is the hallmark of the Warrior family, at the most accessible price point to date.

 Having undergone the same exhaustive local testing, tuning and validation program as the PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar, the SL Warrior — which is based on the SL Navara — will arrive with a more aggressive exterior and the enhanced capability required to earn the Warrior name says Nissan Australia.

More details will be revealed closer to the vehicle’s launch.
