The Nissan Patrol might be petrol only, but it's not quite as thirsty as you might think, and it offers a level of luxury and value that not even the 200 Series can compete with.
Pros Petrol V8 is smooth, refined and powerful Ride and handling balance is excellent for a large SUV Interior is cavernous and comfortable for family buyers
Cons Exterior is big, and that might be an issue, especially in town No diesel engine might put some buyers off Updated infotainment system didn't make it to Australia for the update
For the extra money, the 2020 Nissan Patrol gets new frontal styling – a sportier look for the Ti and a more premium look for the Ti-L, says Nissan – plus refreshed rear styling, along with improved LED headlights and taillights, recalibrated suspension, and three new colour choices (white, gold, and blue) for a total of six. Both grades now receive power folding mirrors and improved climate-control cooling, while the base-spec Patrol Ti receives a range of Nissan's Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Nissan Intelligent Mobility safety features.
While Audi has only announced updates for the European 2020 e-tron, the company said those changes will eventually make their way to our market. That means the American version will have an updated battery pack that provides more driving range than it currently does. It also means we're getting the e-tron Sportback that features a fastback roofline.
Pros Remarkably silent on the go, fancy and functional interior, serene ride quality.
Cons Less range than rivals, less unique than rivals, limited energy regeneration options.
Pros Doesn’t look like an electric car, interior design, efficiency modes
Cons Doesn’t look like an electric car, electric mirrors an acquired taste
