Nissan Navara PRO-4X Warrior: First 1000 to be produced by April

The first 1000 units of the locally-engineered Nissan Navara PRO-4X Warrior are on track to be produced by the end of March.

Premcar, the Australian company behind the Navara Warrior program, has already built more than 750 examples of the updated ‘Warrior 2.0’ since production commenced in mid-2021.

Claimed to be the ‘world’s toughest Navara’, the PRO-4X Warrior – priced from $67,490 before on-road costs – builds upon the foundations of the factory PRO-4X through extensive re-manufacturing work at the firm’s facility in Epping, Victoria.

Enhancements to the dual-cab ute include; a Safari-style bull bar, red Navara-branded steel bash plate, 17-inch Cooper Discoverer all-terrain tyres, a 100 kilogram gross vehicle mass (GVM) upgrade (3250kg), increased ground clearance, improved ride and handling, Warrior-specific fender flares, decals, and new interior headrests with Warrior embroidery.

“We’ve been hard at work on Warrior 2.0 from almost the moment we finished the first Warrior, initially in the design and engineering space, and now on producing what we consider to be the world’s toughest Navara,” said Premcar engineering director, Bernie Quinn.

“This is so much more than some kind of sticker pack. This is an extensively re-engineered vehicle that’s designed and built by some of the world’s most talented automotive manufacturing experts, right here in Victoria.”

The 35-strong employees work to a tight schedule and to OEM standards, with the PRO-4X Warrior put through 10 manufacturing stations from start to finish.

Compared to the five-hour estimate for the original N-TREK Warrior, every PRO-4X Warrior takes approximately 10 hours to complete – with each station requiring around one hour of work to each car.

The factory has the capacity for up to ten cars per day, and runs five days a week, with Premcar stating it has already delivered more than 600 examples to local customers.

“It’s a buzz for the whole team every time we see a Warrior out in the wild, whether it’s on the road or on a bush track or beach,” added Quinn.

“We know how much hard work and expertise has gone into producing every single Warrior, and to see owners out enjoying the final product is the ultimate in job satisfaction.”
