Nissan prices Patrol Warrior at $101,160

NISSAN has revealed the final piece of the puzzle for its Patrol Warrior this week announcing pricing for the Premcar-enhanced model at $101,160 plus on-road costs – or $16,260 more than the Patrol Ti on which it is based.

Joining the Navara PRO-4X Warrior and Navara SL Warrior, Nissan says the Patrol Warrior was built based on customer feedback and is tailor-made for harsh Australian conditions.

The Patrol Warrior by Premcar is based on the Patrol Ti and as such carries over all safety, equipment, and technology features.

It is further enhanced by black 18-inch wheels wrapped in more off-road oriented Yokohama all-terrain tyres, new guard flares, and a beefy bi-modal exhaust system with side-exit outlets. A blacked-out exterior and interior does away with much of the dated chrome accents, while Alcantara upholstery adds a premium flair.

The Patrol Warrior retains Nissan’s standard 298kW/560Nm 5.6-litre petrol V8 engine, coupled exclusively to a seven-speed automatic transmission.

It rides 50mm higher than the derivative model and retains Nissan’s complex Hydraulic Body Motion Control (HBMC) suspension system, used to eliminate the need for anti-roll bars, albeit with several enhancements.

Backed by a five-year factory warranty, the Nissan Patrol Warrior by Premcar will be available from next month (October) and is offered in four paint colours, including Brilliant Silver, Moonstone White, Gun Metallic, and Black Obsidian.

The Australian engineered and developed model – which is remanufactured in Epping, Victoria – will join the Navara Warrior in Nissan showrooms and brings similar levels of enhancement for off-road conditions following what Premcar says is the completion of its final local tuning and manufacturing readiness programs.

“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,” said Premcar Engineering Director, Bernie Quinn.

“The Patrol Warrior by Premcar has been developed specifically for Australian conditions and is the product of some of Australia’s leading car-making know-how.

“It’s been developed after thousands of hours of intensive research by our dedicated team of automotive industry engineering and manufacturing specialists, and we’re incredibly proud to launch the latest addition to the Warrior range.”

The aging, sixth generation Y62-series Patrol – which has been available since 2016 – received a facelift in 2020 in the form of a new-look front end and additional driver assistance technologies. Alongside the Navara, it is now one of the longest serving models in Nissan’s Australian portfolio.
