NISSAN Australia has finally been able to officially launch its Navara PRO-4X Warrior to the market. Despite being on sale since September, COVID restrictions have prevented the company from launching the car and letting us get behind the wheel. After plans for a launch in Central Australia earlier in the year were scuttled, the launch was moved to the stunning Coffs Coast of New South Wales in November – and with wet weather around, it was the perfect place to put the new ute to the test on the slippery hills.
When Nissan Australia updated its Navara range earlier in 2021, giving it a bold new look, it made its range-topping variant the PRO-4X. Following on from the success of the previous iteration’s Navara N-Trek Warrior collaboration with Melbourne engineering firm Premcar, it was a no-brainer that the marque would create a Warrior edition of the new model.
Enter the PRO-4X Warrior. Once again in collaboration with Premcar, it follows a similar formula to the original, only varying to improve on elements of the older model based on customer feedback.
“Any new model should be a true evolution, and that’s exactly what we’ve achieved with this Warrior,” said Premcar’s Bernie Quinn. It benefits from all of our learning, our customer feedback, and from the improvements made to the Navara PRO-4X, creating a new ute that is tailor-made for Australian conditions. The result is a Warrior that’s tougher, safer and smarter, but no less practical and capable.”
