After the Navara N-Trek Warrior in 2019, Nissan’s Australian division has once again teamed up with Premcar — a Victoria-based engineering services company, to offer a new Navara variant named the Navara PRO-4X Warrior. Billed as “the world’s toughest Navara”, the PRO-4X Warrior will be the range-topping model in the Navara lineup in Australia.

Nissan said that the Warrior has completed testing and will be available soon. Indeed, the Warrior comes screaming at the top of its lungs and punches in your face with its tough looks until you agree with its red-painted skid plate with Navara cut-out, off-road front bumper, raised suspension with red springs, and of course, off-road tires.

According to Nissan Australia boss Stephen Lester, “Australia’s unique landscape is both rugged and exhilarating, and the Warrior program is designed to deliver vehicles that share those attributes, without sacrificing safety, technology or on-road comfort. The Navara PRO-4X Warrior by Premcar will continue to build on that legacy, and we can’t wait for our customers to experience it for themselves.”

We’re taking all the key improvements made by Nissan on the Navara PRO-4X, like its impressive NVH levels, steering quality, extensive safety equipment and core dual-cab functionality, and we’re overlaying those updates with our own in-house engineering expertise to create the toughest and most capable Navara in the world. — Bernie Quinn, Premcar Engineering Director

Other than being the “toughest” in the lineup, the rest of the features have been carried over from the regular PRO-4X, including a 7.0-inch driver display, an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto connectivity, and safety equipment such as 7 airbags, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning and Intelligent Emergency Braking.

The Navara PRO-4X in Australia is powered by a 2.3-litre 4-cylinder biturbo diesel engine that develops 140 kW (190 metric hp) at 3,750 rpm and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque between 1,500-2,500 rpm. The engine can be paired with either a 7-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual gearbox.
