Tougher locally developed dual-cab 4x4 ute now on sale ahead of first deliveries in September
Pricing for the new Nissan Navara PRO-4X Warrior has been announced ahead of the Australian-engineered tough truck’s nationwide release on September 1.
As expected, Nissan Australia’s second locally developed Warrior model, based on the new PRO-4X flagship of the upgraded 2021 Navara range released in May, is pricier than the previous NTREK Warrior it replaces but more affordable than its most direct rival, the Toyota HiLux Rugged X.
Pricing for the top-shelf Rugged X version of Australia’s top-selling ute increased to $69,990 plus on-road costs in August 2020, when the manual transmission option was also dropped.

Rugged 4x4 dual-cab to be next Walkinshaw-developed VW ute, taking on Ford Ranger Raptor
Following this week’s release of the new Volkswagen Amarok W580 and W580S – a new fettled dual-cab from the two companies that focuses on on-road ability – VW Australia and Walkinshaw have confirmed that a similarly-themed off-road spin-off is under development.
Although official details remain tightly held, we can expect the still-to-be-named off-road version to be again based on the V6 diesel-powered Volkswagen Amarok TDI580 Highline, modified with additional clearance, new shock absorbers at each corner, a wider track, flared wheel-arches, a new wheel and tyre combination and a variety of other rugged exterior elements befitting of a rock-hopping flagship.
