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

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.
