Nissan Patrol Warrior updated for 2024

To celebrate the 10,000th vehicle to recently depart its local assembly line, Premcar has released an updated version of the 2024 Nissan Patrol Warrior to coincide with the recent changes to the Patrol 4x4 wagon it’s based on.

Priced at $104,160, changes to the Patrol’s in-cabin tech were performed in partnership with another Australian-based mob, Directed Technologies. These updates include a new 10.1-inch high-resolution central touchscreen; two USB ports (USB-A and USB-C); the inclusion of front and rear cameras and a digital video recorder; wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto; and a wireless smartphone charge pocket.

IGO Street Navigation and a 30-day trial of Hema Maps’ widely used 4x4 navigation software is included within the new infotainment system.

“The Patrol Warrior by Premcar was developed in Australia specifically for Australian conditions, and to partner with another Australia-based company in Directed Technologies for these important cabin technology updates is fantastic,” said Premcar’s Engineering Director, Bernie Quinn.

“This modern cabin technology meets true capability in the 2024 Patrol Warrior by Premcar, and it only improves the Warrior recipe.”

Other changes include an increase from four to six speakers; dual-zone climate control air conditioning with second-row; an intelligent rear-view mirror; and a coolbox located in the centre console between the front seats.

The updated 2024 vehicle is unchanged mechanically and aesthetically. It continues to be powered by Nissan’s potent 298kW/560Nm 5.6-litre V8 petrol engine, which is mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission.

Premcar also fettles its own version of Nissan’s Navara – the PRO-4X Warrior, released in 2021, and the SL Warrior, launched in 2022 – and the Aussie company expects to see sales of its Warrior-badged vehicles nearly double in 2024. A total of 2717 Warrior models were delivered to customers in 2023, with Premcar expecting to shift 5100 vehicles in 2024.

As with all Warrior vehicles, full testing is undertaken entirely within Australia on a vast expanse of on- and off-road terrains. The recent updates to the Patrol Warrior are covered by the security of Nissan’s full manufacturer’s warranty.
