After a long teaser program, the 2024 Nissan Patrol Warrior by Premcar has finally gone on sale in Australia. Developed by Victorian engineering firm Premcar, which was behind the now-defunct Ford Performance Vehicles brand, the Patrol Warrior follows the Navara Warrior into Nissan showrooms with a number of new features aimed at increasing its off-road ability. Priced from $101,160 plus on-road costs, the Patrol Warrior is the most expensive model in the lineup, though it’s based on the entry-level Ti.
“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,” says 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.”
Developed as a more off-road capable version of Nissan’s successful large SUV, the 2024 Nissan Patrol Warrior includes a number of new features to the Patrol range for more off-road ability. Exterior changes include new bumpers with a red front bash plate, new 18-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tyres, a bi-model exhaust with outlets at the side, a re-engineered hydraulic suspension system with revised front and rear suspension springs, a 50mm lift, a 40mm-wider track and a revised departure angle.
