Interested in a Nissan Navara?

    The Nissan Navara ute range now includes an entry-level SL Warrior variant for the 2023 model year, while there have been some minor specification and price adjustments for Pro-4X grades.

    UPDATE, 22/08/2023 – Nissan Australia has increased the asking price of all Navara variants by $750.

    “Many challenges facing the industry globally, including the rising costs of raw materials and shipping have had a knock-on effect on vehicle pricing, however Nissan is working hard to ensure that we continue to offer the best value proposition for our customers,” said a Nissan Australia spokesperson.

    These specification changes were announced last year, though this month Nissan Australia confirmed it has subsequently increased prices.

    The 2023 Nissan Navara SL Warrior is the second member of Nissan’s locally-developed Navara Warrior range, slotting in beneath the Pro-4X Warrior, and is already in showrooms.

    Like its more expensive big brother, each Navara SL Warrior is kitted out with off-road accessories in Melbourne by Nissan’s engineering partner Premcar – which also conducted a testing, tuning and localisation program before the builds.

    The Navara SL Warrior costs $58,750 before on-road costs with the six-speed manual transmission, or $61,250 with the seven-speed automatic transmission.

    These prices are $10,090 cheaper than the Pro-4X Warrior, and $11,400 greater than each regular Navara SL 4×4 on which the SL Warrior is based.

    In addition to the new Navara SL Warrior, Nissan Australia has confirmed Pro-4X models now get heated seats with power adjustment and lumbar support.
