Wheels (Australia)

Space and comfort

-

Apart from the orange highlights and embroidere­d headrests, there isn’t much visually to tell you you’re in a Warrior. There is an 8.0-inch infotainme­nt display (with dated graphics), and it’s enabled with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Overall cabin space is generous, just not as roomy as the Ford, and there is no reach adjustment for the steering wheel. The nifty electric rear window is a handy addition, but the off-road-biased tyres do create roar inside. 17/25

The design and feel of the Ranger’s cabin is much more car-like than the Navara, which will appeal to some. It’s a more ergonomica­lly friendly design, though, like the Warrior, there’s no reach adjustment for the steering wheel. The 8.0-inch touchscree­n houses Ford’s SYNC3 infotainme­nt, and it’s vastly better than Nissan’s system. Space is a touch more generous than the already roomy Warrior, while NVH levels are better than its rival, too. 20/25
