Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

The Patrol Y62, to give it its full in-house code name, is very different from every Nissan Patrol that preceded it. This Patrol has a big V8 engine that gives it exceptional performance. As well, its unusual and technically advanced suspension combines on-road handling impressively with off road ability. The Patrol has a luxurious and very roomy cabin with at least seven seats, and a sophisticated dual-range four-wheel drive system.

Pros
Huge cabin;
powerful engine;
very capable off road.

Cons
Heavy fuel use;
needs plenty of parking room.

The Patrol does seem underdone with some of its controls and it is a big unit to thread around town. Yet it is a very good tow vehicle, with very good performance, pretty good stability and ride and the fuel consumption of a small V8 – if you don’t push it hard.

Pros
Performance
Relatively light on fuel
Towing stability

Cons
Outdated park brake
Lack of digital speedometer
Reduced towball download at GVM
