The Nissan Patrol is a vehicle renowned for its offroad capability and ‘rugged reputation’, but the latest instalment of the much-loved four-wheel-drive also adds a refinement that focuses on details, adding a touch of luxury to ensure the vehicle is ready for any occasion.
The Patrol’s sleek design incorporates stylish LED headlights and a wide chrome front grille to maximise airflow to keep engine bay temperatures in check, while the front guards feature chrome Patrol-emblazoned garnishes to complement the chrome window accents, which flow towards the back of the car where stylish LED tail lights pair nicely with a sporty rear design.
The Y62 Nissan Patrol features a throaty, powerful 5.6-litre V8 powerplant, punching out just under 300kW of power and 560Nm of torque through a 7-speed automatic which helps propel 4×4 along the road surface by the stylish 18-inch alloy wheels and Bridgestone Dueller A/T tyres.
The acceleration response is mighty impressive for such a large vehicle, while the steering feel is also light and responsive, making parking and manoeuvring in and around tight car park spaces a breeze with the added support of a host of parking sensors and the vehicle’s around-view monitoring and emergency braking assistance.
While the Nissan Patrol has a reasonably lengthy wheel base and large stature, it also boasts an impressive turning circle, meaning you can easily perform a U-Turn in tighter situations.
There are also a host of drive modes for all occasions. Whether you’re simply heading off to the big smoke using On Road mode, touring the stunning Limestone Coast beaches in sand mode, heading for the wintry hills in Snow mode or traversing the great outdoors in Rock mode, the Nissan Patrol can easily account for it all while also being able to switch between auto, 4-High and 4-Low modes for when the going gets tougher.
A large 140-litre fuel tank also means you can be out and about exploring for longer, reducing the need for additional stops when heading off for longer interstate adventures.
The way the Patrol effortlessly glides across the road surface in a comfortable and quiet manner also deserves a mention. While a powerful V8 beast sits in waiting under the bonnet of the Nissan, minimal engine and road noise can be heard inside the cabin.
Stepping up into the Nissan Patrol you are greeted with an abundance of room and comfortable and stylish leather black leather trim, while a light tan trim is available as an option. There is plenty of room up front for the tallest of drivers, while allowing rear passengers to receive the same treatment, maximising the comfort of occupants while providing a range of USB and accessory sockets to ensure passengers of all ages can keep devices charged up for the long haul.
Adding further levels of interior luxury are a tri-zone climate control air-conditioning system, leather accented steering wheel and shift lever, satellite navigation with 3D mapping, traffic monitoring system, offroad monitoring and an abundance of cup and bottle holders.
Ensuring occupants are safe and sound inside the cabin are a suite of features including front and rear parking sensors, around view monitoring with moving object detection, anti lock braking with electronic brakeforce distribution, hill descent control, a host of airbags, intelligent cruise control, forward collision and lane departure warnings, intelligent lane intervention and blind spot warning as well as tyre pressure monitoring.
There are six colour options available across both Nissan Patrol Ti and Ti-L models, with buyers able to choose from Brilliant Silver, Gun Metallic as pictured, Black Obsidian, Champagne Quartz, Hermosa Blue and Moonstone White.
Pricing for the Nissan Patrol Ti starts at $89,649 driveaway, while the top of the range Ti-L pricing starts from $103.249 driveaway.
