4WD reworked down under
Premcar is behind the latest chapter of the Navara story by creating a flagship four-wheel drive (4WD) ready for customers down under.
Building on the success of the PRO-4X Warrior and SL Warrior variants, the Patrol Warrior is the result of market feedback that has helped create a vehicle tailor-made for local conditions.
Premcar’s engineering director, Bernie Quinn, says: “Australia is a unique country, with unique conditions and many highly informed new-car buyers who demand a 4WD that’s engineered for our vast and rugged landscape.
“The Patrol Warrior by Premcar has been developed specifically for Australian conditions and is the product of some of our leading car-making know-how.
“It has been developed after thousands of hours’ research by our team of industry engineering and manufacturing specialists. We’re proud to launch the latest addition to the Warrior range.”
Premcar has been Nissan’s engineering partner since the launch of the much-lauded Warrior programme in 2019 with vehicles re-engineered in Victoria to create tough flagship models suited to local conditions.
This addition to the line-up delivers key mechanical upgrades, as well as interior and exterior changes, that enhance the model’s capability.
The Patrol Warrior by Premcar’s off-road capability has increased ground clearance, larger all-terrain tyres, a redesigned towbar to support the full-size spare, and key improvements to its suspension and gross vehicle mass.
With refreshed exterior styling and expanded dimensions, it boasts an enhanced presence on or off-road, while the interior has been finished in black gloss and alcantara trim with Warrior embossing.
A new bi-modal exhaust system enhances the driving experience and unleashes the Nissan’s 298kW V8. In addition, the Patrol Warrior by Premcar delivers a blend of cabin comfort, ride and handling, and off-road capability thanks to its improved HBMC suspension.
The model has been based on the Nissan Patrol Ti. Standard features include satellite navigation, electric front seats, blind-spot warning, around-view monitor, emergency braking, and leather-accented seats.
