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

A product of Nissan and Premcar’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’s made-for-Australia program, with new adventure-ready equipment, increased off-road capability and suspension tuned for Australian conditions.

Features include a new winch-compatible hooped bullbar with integrated LED lightbar, 275 / 70 / R17 Cooper Discoverer All Terrain AT3 tyres with increased tread depth and off-road focused tread pattern, as well as a suspension overhaul with new springs, dampers, and jounce bumpers. Ground clearance is also increased from 220mm to 260mm (+40mm). Further enhancements are listed below.

These new parts not only give the Warrior its rugged and aggressive styling cues but improve the truck’s approach angle from 32 to 36 degrees, with a near-identical departure angle, from 19.8 to 19 degrees with a tow bar fitted.

“We’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,” says Nissan Australia Managing Director Adam Paterson.

“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’s no less comfortable on the road, and no less capable off it.”

The Navara SL Warrior is expected to arrive in Nissan showrooms this month (August 2022).
