Nissan Australia has filed trademarks for Warrior versions of the Qashqai, X-Trail, Pathfinder, and Z, hinting at potential expansions of its rugged vehicle lineup.
Nissan Australia has filed trademarks for Warrior versions of the Qashqai, X-Trail, Pathfinder SUVs, and the Z sports car.
The Warrior name is currently used for collaborations with Australian second-stage manufacturer Premcar, producing off-road ready versions of the Navara ute and Patrol SUV. These filings suggest Nissan might be considering expanding the Warrior concept across its lineup.
For SUVs like the Pathfinder, X-Trail, and Qashqai, Warrior versions could include increased towing capacity, taller ride height, beefier tires, and improved suspension. A Z Warrior is more likely to be a performance-oriented road model rather than an off-road version. Nissan officially states these trademarks are to protect intellectual property and don't confirm future plans.
The Warrior name could potentially be used as a trim level across Nissan's lineup, similar to Pro-4X and N-Trek designations.The trademark filings are currently limited to Australia, suggesting this is a market-specific initiative. While details remain unconfirmed, these filings suggest Nissan may be preparing to compete with Toyota's GR line with market-specific, enhanced models.
