Nissan Navara Warrior Review -- SL Warrior & PRO-4X Warrior test inc. off-road

[@marty_krygs]

Good review. Walking that line between honest point of view and staying in the game. Appreciate it. I like the fact that its ANCAP has expired, and none of those irritating chimes and warnings are there. A good ute option.

[@therightcar]

Thanks mate.

[@tugboat8475]

My nextdoor neighbor has a new Volvo, and it beeps and dings non stop. Drives me crazy being a passenger let alone the driver. When I hear a noise or a red flashing emblem the first thing is I think is overheating or oil. Now it's there is a car on your right hand side or the car in front of you is breaking. Ouch

[@trevorevans7101]

Terrific review. You're an awesome reviewer.

[@therightcar]

Thanks very much!

[@iDEMONiDEVIL]

I tried quite a few utes on the market before settling for the Pro4x. Cannot speak highly enough of it on and off roads. I also tow a lot and it delivers every time. The 7 speed transmission works so well.

[@therightcar]

Thanks for the feedback mate. Glad you’re happy! It’s a beast.

[@tugboat8475]

Had the SL Warrior for 10 months now, enjoying the car. Not having carpet is so much easier when camping etc as in clean up. My only negative report so far is there is no front recovery points on eva bar SL or Pro 4x. Premcar makes you buy the winch cradle that has the 2 points, and your Nissan dealership will install it. That's not including the winch. Just the Cradle. Every dealer i looked at was throwing in the tonneau cover for free. I also got the factory flexi roof antenna to cler my carport roller door. Service is expensive, but so are Toyotas evert 6 moths. So almost same price

[@Mr500RWHP]

I’ve had my SL warrior for about a year now and it seems pretty good so far. Three must have mods are a throttle controller, a leather steering wheel cover and an extended centre arm rest, makes it much nicer to drive imo. The old H4 halogens suck but I have replaced them some brighter Phillips ones which are better. The vinyl floor is great for keeping things simple to clean with mud and dirt etc.

[@therightcar]

Great stuff mate. Sounds like top advice for other future buyers!!

[@Sean-sz7zo]

I find you are a pretty unbiased reviewer. Not as smitten with Euro and Korean cars as other Aussie channels

[@therightcar]

Thanks. Like all people I have things I like more than others, but my aim with this is to tell people what they should hear, and sometimes that might not be what they WANT to hear.

[@robertoespindola9733]

Sl warrior is a great pick

[@therightcar]

Agree. Hardcore unit!

[@matthurford7973]

Greater review and I liked the honesty, straight to the point not hiding things blowing gas up our "you know what " have the patrol 2004 4.2 thinking of a update. Pro 4 sounds good buy once should see me out in life terms. Sell rental buy 4x4 and caravan for around Oz.

[@lamos8691]

Keep us posted if you decide to sell the 4.2 Patrol, sounds like a gem

[@stuartmanuell4207]

Good point about the lights. Is it possible to fit those narva led upgrade bulbs to the SL or is that dodgy.

[@marcvanheugten9472]

If I were Nissan, I would indeed do the same with the smallest bullbar on the most expensive set of lights. Nice reviews on utes, started with the blade and picking up some alternatives along the way. I get what mean with rear sportbar-rack getting in the way, but this one looks ok, it doesnt cover the full side. I dolike the aesthetics of such a clumsy thing.

[@therightcar]

Thanks for your thoughts mate. Cheers for watching!

[@Levi-c6f]

Nice review and really nice vehicles. This would be my 2nd choice to a Hilux Rogue though, being mindful that it wouldn’t be as comfortable on road as these two Nissans

[@therightcar]

Correct. HiLux isn’t as comfy in any situation!

[@outdoors5352]

As of August 2024 you can buy a brand new 2023 SL Warrior automatic drive away for $53,500. Pretty good value, considering an aftermarket bullbar is at least $2k, suspension lift $2k, tyre and wheel package $2k, tow bar would be $700, bash plate $300 and LED light bar $500. And the Nissan bullbar is winch compatible for future installation.

[@therightcar]

Yep - it’s a good deal for sure. And all warranty-covered by Nissan for the full five years rather than shorter warranty for aftermarket additions.

[@ghalebmawardi959]

Great review im looking to buy the pro 4x hopefully in 2025 Does the 4x come with the electric roller shutter

[@M8YM8]

I’ve got this exact grey Pro-4X Warrior with HSP Rolla cover. The Ute is an absolute weapon but the HSP roller cover is total garbage, gets full of dust and dirt and jams on a weekly basis. Is also a pain in the ass to open and clean. Get a UteMaster hard lid instead.

[@rodneysantos6775]

Agree mate, but all the roller shutters are grap. Got a ranger and mine leaks and dust always gets in.

[@therightcar]

Thanks for that feedback mate. Sorry to hear it.

[@iDEMONiDEVIL]

The utemaster hardlids are also just expensive pieces of crap. I got one and the quality is rubbish, the finish is crap for the high price you pay. They leak as well.

[@dwaynethart6527]

Don’t bother, the dust gets into the tailgate too and jams the opening mechanism. Went through 3 tailgate locks at Nissan before I threw it all away and went for a tray

[@Ttnorth11]

SL Warrior is the pick

[@jeffstryker1454]

I’m waiting to see what Nissan comes up with and hopefully it’s different from the new Mitsubishi triton and has more power I was disappointed with the new Triton it’s still lagging behind the Ranger and Amarok.

[@hugowells3052]

Perfect for your next trip to Woolies 🤣

[@DeanRazer]

If you love the nav warrior but aren’t gong to use it off road… would you make another suggestion?

[@therightcar]

You can still love it on road.

[@noelblanco7728]

I thought they will be updating the design of the dashboard. In other countries, nissan have placed the same dash as the terra.

[@danielflinn3571]

Thanks for sharing

[@therightcar]

No worries!

[@Delorian82]

Need to bring out a v6

[@shaunstst]

Pro-4x for me

[@therightcar]

Me too!

[@jesus_built_my_hotrod]

SL with LED headlights and a manual gearbox.

[@therightcar]

Would be ideal 🙏🙏🙏

[@DeanRazer]

Adaptive cruise??

[@therightcar]

No adaptive cruise. 😩

[@TomWilding1]

No we don’t want to consider anything from LDV or GWM. We’re here for the Navara.

[@Henry1981live]

New Sub

[@therightcar]

Thanks!

[@Henry1981live]

@@therightcar one day i will have one of those :)

[@nissanhead-xj5nc]

You have to remember that the warrior models won't feel as powerful because of the bigger tyres

[@therightcar]

True. The rubber robs it a bit.

[@ptorx1111]

let down is the stickers, why so many stickers.. should be an option

[@outdoors5352]

They are an option, just peel them off 😅

[@user-gk1nt6sm2z]

$70k , ? not much on offer for that price .

[@yourgearyourway4094]

You can’t buy the SL on the Nissan website. Never have!

[@therightcar]

You have to go to the Premcar site

[@gregj7916]

$70k ffs, i thought aussie was deep into a cost of living crisis…

[@therightcar]

Doesn’t stop businesses or private customers from buying these things!

[@ronaldov09]

Yeah for 30% of the population...that leaves a lot of people who are cashed up still!

[@needmoregrogg2202]

i am a nissan fan boy BUT the 2.3l is the same moter as the 2.0l QASHQUI JUST BORED OUT TO 2.3 SO DO SOME RESERCUH

[@therightcar]

I’ve never done RESERCUH

[@tyzon00800]

All show no go

[@therightcar]

You are.

[@richardtimms6645]

MV Triton better choice than these.

[@therightcar]

Won’t go as far off-road straight of the showroom floor. But yep, it’s a very compelling choice.

[@23860]

inc offroad???? i dont think so

[@therightcar]

Check out Unsealed 4x4 or anyone else if you want hardcore - but I didn’t see any roads under that muddy shit
