Buckle up, folks—the Nissan Patrol Warrior is here, and it’s everything you’ve dreamed of in a rugged, high-performance SUV! Premcar has worked its magic on this Aussie icon, delivering an off-road beast that’s built to dominate the toughest terrains while keeping you cruising in style and comfort. From its roaring V8 engine to its cutting-edge infotainment system, this is the Patrol like you’ve never seen it before. Get ready to fall in love!
A Suspension That Redefines Comfort and Capability
The Warrior’s suspension is pure engineering brilliance! While the standard Nissan Patrol’s hydraulic body motion control suspension was already top-notch, Premcar’s genius upgrade adds multi-rate springs that transform the ride into something truly spectacular. Whether you’re tackling gnarly outback trails or gliding over speed humps in the city, the Warrior stays composed and comfortable.
Picture this: you’re cornering hard, and the hydraulic system kicks in, keeping everything smooth and steady. You hit a bump, and the multi-rate springs absorb it like it’s nothing. It’s the kind of ride that makes you want to take the long way home—every single time.
A Roaring V8 Heartbeat
Let’s talk about power—the kind that makes your heart race! The Warrior packs Nissan’s legendary 5.6-litre V8 petrol engine, churning out a massive 298kW and 560Nm of torque. With a seven-speed automatic transmission and adaptive shift control, this beast delivers effortless acceleration and pure driving exhilaration.
And the sound? Oh, the sound! Thanks to the bimodal exhaust, the Warrior’s V8 roars to life when you press the pedal, offering a symphony of power that’s music to any enthusiast’s ears. It’s quiet and refined when you’re cruising, but step on the gas, and you’re treated to a thunderous growl that’s impossible to ignore.
A Cabin Packed with Modern Tech
Step inside the Patrol Warrior, and you’re greeted with a blend of rugged charm and modern sophistication. The highlight? The brand-new 10.1-inch high-definition infotainment system, proudly supplied by Directed Technologies, an Australian company known for its cutting-edge electronics.
This is no ordinary system—it’s a game-changer. Featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the sleek interface is intuitive and stylish, bringing the Patrol firmly into the 21st century. Whether you’re streaming your favourite playlist, navigating remote trails using Hema maps, or just enjoying the crisp visuals, it’s an absolute pleasure to use.
And let’s not forget the wireless charging pocket, also from Directed Technologies. Say goodbye to tangled cords and hello to seamless convenience! This modern touch makes the Warrior’s interior functional and perfect for modern motoring.
Built for Real Adventure
The Warrior doesn’t just look the part—it’s built to perform. With 323mm of ground clearance (that’s 50mm more than the standard Patrol) and a wider track, it’s ready to tackle the wildest adventures. Upgraded Yokohama Geolandar tyres and a heavy-duty bash plate mean you can conquer rocky trails and muddy tracks with total confidence.
Need to tow? The Warrior boasts a 3.5-tonne towing capacity, perfect for hauling caravans, boats, or trailers. And with twin rear recovery points, you’re not just getting yourself out of trouble—you’re the hero who saves your mates in lesser vehicles!
A Beast with Style
From the outside, the Warrior demands attention. Its redesigned bumpers, fender flares, and bold Warrior badging give it a commanding presence that screams, “Get out of my way!” Those twin square exhaust tips aren’t just functional—they’re a statement. Add in the larger tyres, increased ride height, and signature decals, and you’ve got an SUV that looks every bit as powerful as it is.
Driving Made Fun Again
In a world of overcomplicated driver-assist systems, the Patrol Warrior is a breath of fresh air. While it does include useful features like adaptive cruise control, it avoids the constant nagging of excessive tech. No beeping about speed limits, no unnecessary lane departure warnings—just pure, undistracted driving joy.
That said, it’s not completely old-school. The adaptive cruise control works well on the open road, though it could use some refinement for downhill braking and stop-and-go traffic. But these are minor quibbles in an otherwise incredible driving experience.
Practical and Spacious
With room for up to eight passengers, the Warrior is as practical as it is powerful. The seats are comfortable for long drives, though a bit more lateral support would be welcome during spirited cornering. As with most SUVs, boot space is limited when all three rows are in use, but fold down the third row, and you’ve got plenty of room for gear.
The Final Verdict: A Warrior Worth Fighting For
The Nissan Patrol Warrior isn’t just a car—it’s a statement. It’s a celebration of Australian engineering, rugged capability, and modern comfort, all wrapped up in one incredible package. However, there’s no denying it’s an old war horse that’s been given a new life, and at $114,000 drive-away it’s not for everyone. If you still have a yearning for off-road adventures with big throaty V8 engine, this is your car.
