The new Navara PRO-4X Warrior is set to arrive in Nissan dealerships nationally from September 1.

Nissan teamed up with Victoria-based engineering company Premcar to develop the Navara flagship, with the vehicle tailor-made for Australian conditions.

The Warrior is equipped with the Navara’s 2.3-litre, common-rail, four-cylinder, twin-turbo diesel, producing 140kW and 450Nm from as low as 1500rpm. Towing capacity is rated at 3.5 tonnes braked.

Starting at a MSRP of $67,490 for a manual-equipped variant and $69,990 for the automatic, the PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar delivers a swathe of engineering upgrades.

Key enhancements include:

The Warrior includes Navara’s 7-inch Advanced Drive-Assist instrument cluster display, along with a 8-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. The automatic transmission includes Navara’s Drive Mode Selector, with Sport, Off-Road, Tow and Normal modes.
