Nissan Navara SL Warrior More Details

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

A product of Nissan and Premcar’s 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) plus the usual costs, the SL Warrior joins the PRO-4X Warrior in Nissan’s made-for-Australia ute program, with new adventure-ready equipment, increased off-road capability and suspension tuned in Australia for Australian conditions.

“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 SL Warrior will add to Australian Navara sales, rather than subtract from it, with Nissan Australia securing additional units to meet demand. It is further proof of how highly the Warrior program is regarded.”

Developed with Nissan’s local engineering partner Premcar in the firm’s state-of-the-art Victorian facility, the Navara SL Warrior has benefitted from the same exhaustive testing, tuning and localization program as the PRO-4X Warrior.

A hallmark of the Warrior program is to broaden the Navara’s capability, rather than simply shift it to off-road applications. Which is why every change or addition made to the SL Warrior has been tuned and tested in all driving scenarios to ensure capability doesn’t come at the expense of on-road comfort.

The Nissan Navara SL Warrior by Premcar is built for the tough stuff, and its owners will be afforded complete peace of mind thanks to a comprehensive five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty covering all Nissan and Premcar parts.

Nissan’s comprehensive five-year factory warranty applies to all manufacturer components. Premcar matches Nissan warranty on all Warrior enhancements. Customers need simply present at their Nissan Australia Dealership when it comes time for servicing. Or if they have a warranty query, and Nissan’s service team will take care of the rest.

The Navara SL Warrior also acts as a further shot in the arm of Victoria’s booming automotive manufacturing industry. Premcar’s Warrior program is already home to more than 35 engineering and manufacturing experts. They are in the midst of a recruitment drive as it adds production shifts to meet expected demand.

The Navara SL Warrior is expected to arrive in Nissan showrooms in August 2022.
