2024 Nissan Patrol on/off-road (inc. 0-100) review: This V8 SUV has a brand new interior!

[@Think_about_it777]

Naturally aspirated V8 masterpiece. It will be sad to see the sweet V8 discontinued.

[@felixgt1-c9f]

V8 is very cool, car manufacturers must follow emission regulations just like its rival, the Land Cruiser 300, Toyota Sequoia

Wish they could integrate the LHD head unit. That looks great. This head unit, though its great, it screams aftermarket n sits very low.

At the 4WD show last year there were many Patrols with a conversion done to RHD vehicles

[@clarkkent6642]

Currently on a 4000 mile road trip in the USA in a US spec SL. Incredible car, such effortless grunt. Averaging 12.2L per 100Km, with a luggage for two. Staggered at such fuel efficiency particulary given all the Mountain ranges being traversed, often on radar cruise control. Love them, now want one, lol.

[@pantoffelslippers]

Wow… I would have expected 20L/ 100km

I watch all of your videos Paul and Only a V8 can put that smile on your face! Love it - well done 👍

Considered one back in 2013…. But it’s taken time to mature, refine, and endear itself to me. So before further ado, a 24 build Warrior is on the way to me now.

[@jamesmarks1724]

but its is a reverse only setup.. no 360 anymore.. to me a real downgrade

[@phillroo7871]

Personally, they didn't need to make that small interior upgrade, would have been better off to leave it, make it cheaper and allow the upgrade aftermarket interior to the customer. Love the car, love Patrols, i still drive the GU ZD30 Di with original 377k km on clock and still feels great, and yes used as a 4X4 not Shopping cart like some. Nissan just need to commit to Australian market and chance we will make it worth it for the better more recent interiors not just the afterthought they have done.

[@obs2746]

Bought mine new in 2022, exceptional vehicle, loads of towing power, comfortable on long runs. Slightly disappointed with Nissan to not upgrade the interior but it was 30k cheaper than the Cruiser

[@thenorthwatch777]

Hi Paul, Great review. I have to be honest, I can never get enough of the Nissan Patrol reviews. I love it. I wish that company can also be assigned to make these upgrades in South Africa. We use to not buy many of these petrol Patrols here, but ever since Toyota ditched the V8 in Landcruiser 300 there was shift to Patrol. You see a lot of them now, and I think this upgrade would win even more people to it, myself included. You can always buy me one and ship it to South Africa, that's an option 😁.

[@damiangamble1474]

Why no 360 camera, I feel that’s a huge loss. But overall still love it.

[@easy4steve]

long live the petrol engine !! good review .

[@SuperSymbol]

Nissan Patrol is masterpiece. I love the patrol engine sound. When are you guys reviewing 2024 Honda Accord R/S?

[@markandkim66]

The TI-L has had a cooler box for some time. I like the features of the new infotainment unit, but not at the expense of no front or side cameras. Give with one hand and take with the other.

[@phonicfrog_]

Not to forget Nissan removed the rear screens from the headrests too. Third zone of climate control has also been downgraded 😢

[@johncanalese588]

@@markandkim66 Actually, with this “new” interior upgrade rolled out in both the Ti and TiL at a $3000 premium, the better value vehicle is now the Ti. Both these models have lost the 360deg camera and second row A/C is downgraded. The TiL additionally has lost rear headrest video screens with Bose system now a six-speaker Infinity system. But, the Ti has gained electronic rear-view mirror and center cool-box.

[@phonicfrog_]

@@johncanalese588 yep spot on. So the TIL with its 10k premium only differences are sunroof, heated/cooled seats, roof rails and power tailgate. TI is arguably the best bang for buck now.

nice review, as always! Australian car price just make me cry. in Kazakstan this car sale for 85-95K USD, with n/a 4.0L V6.

[@irishmoon69]

I bought my 2nd Y62 last October. Between Patrols had a Raptor and a Ram Limited both for a year and got rid of them. Y62 is a good rig, many more upgrades available than a few years ago including the interior infotainment, dash etc. Awesome reliable rig.

[@BLACK_CAT_XD]

What's your personal experience with owning a ram? Was it unreliable? too big?

[@irishmoon69]

@@BLACK_CAT_XD Long story, had high expectations… on a tow truck within first few months back to dealer. Loose wire on steering rack. Infotainment crashes, rear air suspension was high on one side and needed calibrating twice., back to dealer 3 times unresolved, Car interior and driving on roads was great. Build quality is not great, hit a corrugated road and the rear end air suspension would just bounce across road sideways. Don’t ask about the dealer experience…. Apart from that experience was ok..

[@BLACK_CAT_XD]

@irishmoon69 interesting, I've heard the dealers are pretty sloppy. I am looking at a ram as a possible future purchase, so comments like that are good to keep in mind.

At least it's not as delusional as 70 series cruiser owners. It's a 2.5T Garden shed with wind up windows for only 120k. Bargain

[@ev0wat]

Sounds like a typical Toyota dork comment in your inefficient v8 that’s slower than a 1GD 2.8L hilux engine lol so yea it is a lambo compared to that sh*tbox!

[@johncanalese588]

Drive one and you might find out why we get inspired. That VK56VD engine is wonderfully smooth and revs to redline in the blink of an eye, while emitting a glorious soundtrack. And goes to another level with a supercharger bolted onto it.

Hey Paul was looking at some older videos when searching for the old review of this car and noticed you used to put length width height measurements on cars. Can you resume doing that now that we have more and more of these behemoths of vehicles in the market. Would be a good indication of how big it will be like in the real world

23:45 - That exactly what they did, while removing features like side cameras, tyre pressure monitoring and digital rear seat HVAC. That infotainment system is from Directed Technologies identical to Hino trucks.

[@stuartbest3241]

Would I upgrade my 2015 T-il? I don’t think so. 130 ks on the clock and it still drives the same as it did when I drove it out of the showroom. It has a cool box, 360 camera, front camera, 13 speaker sound system, surround sound theatre system with rear screens, full control of the rear aircon not just fan speed, it even has a T-il badge on the tailgate. You would have to do a far more detailed comparison to see what else is missing, a couple of phone chargers and an iPad stuck on the dash is not going to do it for me.

Hi Car Expert, think it would be great if you guys could do a comparison of popular tow vehicles as against categories of vehicles which you have done in the past. For eg comparing towing the characteristics of say, Ranger, Hilux, Y62, Landcruiser, Ram & Chev to name some. Regards

[@Percadu]

I'm no marketing expert. But would this upgrade be worth with the expectation that people are going to try buy current vehicles before the emissions laws comes into effect for new cars? Despite when the next gen is coming out? New Infiniti qx80 has the twin turbo v6 and you would think they would use that platform for the new patrol as well. So may be closer than we think?

[@vitalbyt3]

Other markets received a much better interior upgrade couple of years ago. Why do Nissan keep dumping old tech to Australia? C'mon!

[@knottymatt]

The new aftermarket screens and fascias are now that good, it looks like this offering is a step back.

[@AUSklaatu59]

Hi paul love your channel can you tell me does the TI have TPMS? And the new reversing camera predictive path?

[@Themitch343]

That was one of the best sound db noise level readings I’ve seen from a car on this channel, and bonus points for being from a big 4x4 with all the extra surface area hitting the wind. You didn’t seem too happy with it though Paul, could you please clarify that?

[@CarExpertAus]

Yeah it’s a weird one. It sounded quite boomy on the freeway but the numbers were quite good. My only thought is I noticed it above 100km/h which we didn’t test - you can notice it on approach to the sine waves.

i bought one before they go to turbo. better to buy the last of one than the guinea pig. i think screen is a little low and i wrapped the woodgrain.infotanment doesnt have vehicle settings anymore. ide rather have those small gripes than turbo bolts falling out,limp mode issues,dpfs and turbos. the 300s will get ironed out but at 30k extra its not worth it for me.

If I had the $$$'s, and I know many people do, I would certainly be taking a serious look at one of these. That interior, with the updates to the info system, is a nice place to be too. Meantime, as I live in the bush on serious acreage, I'm perfectly fine with my Navara Pro4 X. I'm just wondering about the 6 cylinder Patrol coming out next. Will it be getting close to the V8 in power and what will the expected fuel economy be?

[@JacobHall1601]

I worked at Nissan and these cars really are a dinosaur even with the new infotainment. They’re still lovely to drive and are a great do everything old school luxo Barge. But for the money I do wish they had given more features before sending the Y62 off to the grave yard

Everything is great except the deletion of the 360 camera. I use that almost every time I park. I won't be upgrading my 2021 model Ti because of the loss of that feature. It is a big beast and the 360 is highly valuable in SC carparks etc. Bad decision.
