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.

[@aidengillzy]

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

[@BennyTheWoo]

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.

[@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

[@thelonewolf666]

im happy with my 2023 model--- who looks at the dash when your driving---looking down at a touch screen is worse than texting, the new reverse camera is awesome in this one

[@jamesmarks1724]

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

[@anthonys439]

I swear people who drive Patrols think they're driving a Lambo, and not a 2.8T metal box.

[@jayylmau]

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.

[@keanubell5260]

Ive just ordered the TIL an just noticed in this review but im not sure if its just this car or all of them now but have they removed the kids screens out of the back seats?

[@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.

[@damiangamble1474]

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

Thanks Paul This car is amazing had mine since 22 and absolutely love it

[@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 😁.

[@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.

[@themoreyouknqw3555]

Ya gotta love the V8 . Only letdown is outdated interior.. Other than that..a banger

[@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?

[@anbu999]

Will you buy Nissan Patrol if it comes with twin turbo V6 from GTR ?

[@slinca]

Love the desert boots Paul :D

[@longdang3379]

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

[@buncha5651]

A better buy than a Toyota 300 series. 😊

[@sky73x]

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.

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?

[@syedehtishambukhari499]

Patrol is all time beast for every 4wheeler

[@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.

[@MCR70124]

Its a shame that Australia still gets the old interior for that price. Just look up the interior of Patrol sold in UAE

[@tx390]

So they just slammed an Alibaba head unit in and built a bezel, bit of programming... Piss poor really... Could have done a lot better with so much stuff out on the market these days..

[@iampennochio]

I have the 2013 model it's 11yrs old. This model is finished now, no point flogging a dead horse. Everything is available for it aftermarket now.

[@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.

[@Honey_Crumbs]

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

[@irishmoon69]

@@Honey_Crumbs 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..

[@Honey_Crumbs]

@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.

[@rangabanga32]

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.

[@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

Much better interior, just need woodgrain to go.

[@SpeedyNeo]

Can somebody kindly explain what "auto" means exactly on the 4x4 knob? Does it drive in full time 4wd mode with a center diff?

[@johncanalese588]

Ok, Paul and others keep saying the Y62 is “Full-Time” 4WD - technically it isn’t. To have true Full-Time 4WD you need a centre differential to supply torque to the front and rear axles - the Patrol does NOT have one! Instead it has an electrically operated clutch pack in the transfer case to supply torque to the front axle. In AUTO mode the clutch pack is normally disengaged so no torque is supplied to the front. It has sensors and a control unit to detect wheel slip, and if detected will operate the clutch pack to supply torque the front axle. When 4-Hi is selected the clutch pack is just permanently engaged all the time. When 4-Lo is selected an electric motor drives gear selection of a lower ratio in transfer case while simultaneously mechanically engaging the front axle so the clutch pack is not required. Hope this helps.

[@SpeedyNeo]

@@johncanalese588 Man.. thank you so much. I have been searching the interwebs literally for days for this kind of info. Even downloaded Nissan's manuals to no avail. Your reply is really appreciated. Take care. Also, looks like I'll go with a Land Cruiser.

[@CraigMcDowell-i6h]

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

[@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 think in 2024.. the Ti is decent value (you gain the fidge and TiL rear vision mirror camer item) but these things really do need the 360deg camera. Howver, the TiL has lost so much value and costs 3k more... waste of money. You lose the TV's in the back (if you dont have kids in the back for regular 5hr trips you wont understand). I cant believe how badly Nissan Australia stuffed up this "update" and so glad I purchased a 2023 TiL.

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.
