Punters waiting for news of the next generation Y63 Nissan Patrol will have to wait a little longer, with the car brand confirming a 2024 model based on the existing Y62 platform. The new range gets a significant tech upgrade.
Nissan Australia has partnered with local automotive supplier Directed Technologies to deliver a new 10.1-inch high-definition central touchscreen, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Twin USB ports (A and C) and a new wireless smartphone charging pocket ensure all devices remain topped up, while the Patrol’s new infotainment system unlocks a host of new functionality, including a new full HD wide angle reversing camera.
iGO street navigation and a 1-month free subscription to Hema 4×4 navigation are also included. Comfort still comes first in the Patrol, with the addition of the front row centre cool box to the Ti specification.
The option of seven (Ti-L) or eight (Ti) seats ensure there is room for everyone and everything. Intelligent 4X4 with electronic 4WD selection, a rear helical limited-slip diff, and hydraulic body motion control suspension all continue from the previous offering.
The 2024 Nissan Patrol continues to be offered in two well-equipped grades, the Ti and Ti-L — as well as the flagship Patrol Warrior by Premcar — and remains powered by Nissan’s 5.6-litre V8 petrol engine, with 298kW of power and 560Nm of torque.
This is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission with manual mode and adaptive shift control. Its 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity remains. The 2024 Nissan Patrol Ti is priced at $87,900, with the Ti-L at $100,600 – both plus on-roads.
The Patrol Warrior by Premcar will be priced at $104,160 plus on-roads. If you’re keen on one and need finance, talk to CreditOne.
