The Nissan PATROL legacy traces back to 1951 with the introduction of the 4W60 model. Featuring an authentic 4X4 chassis, selectable 4WD, and a potent 6-cylinder engine, the 4W60 swiftly established itself as the most reliable, rugged, and versatile 4X4 vehicle on the market. Its unmatched capabilities made it the preferred choice for off-road transportation in numerous parts of Asia.
The first generation Nissan PATROL went through many changes as Nissan made constant improvements to the engine and look of the vehicle. The 4W65, which was introduced in October 1958, was the first to boast a Nissan badge on the grille and a PATROL badge. The 4W73, which was launched in 1959, marked the end of the impressive first generation.
Seven Generations later, Nissan launches another undisputed big animal: the new Nissan Patrol.
From the very beginning, the Nissan PATROL has been synonymous with power. Each new model has employed advanced technologies that enhance both on and off-road performance to unsurpassable levels. The latest generation Nissan PATROL is no exception.
To underline the above statement, Nissan installed a 5.6l V8 engine that offers the ultimate power trip and mated it to Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL) and Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) technologies to improve efficiency, power and torque with lower emissions.
The 7-speed VVEL automatic transmission with manual mode delivers seamless acceleration. A high 298kW of power and 569Nm of torque are its numerical language and Nissan calls this RAW POWER THAT PUTS YOU AHEAD OF THE PACK.
In keeping with the Nissan PATROL’s mission to deliver more comfort and more room, the Nissan PATROL offers versatile luxury leather seat dimensions that outclass the competition. Voluminous cushions for enhanced comfort on three rows of more-luxurious-than-ever seating, while the lavish space around the second-row seats is reminiscent of a private jet, the third-row seats offer unprecedented comfort thanks to the new reclining and sliding mechanism.
The eight different seating/cargo configurations in the first, second and third rows create the biggest rear luggage space in its class with the ultimate comfort.
To further put a stamp of approval that indeed every journey in every Nissan patrol must be more enjoyable than the previous one; Nissan elevated the interior architecture to first-class levels of comfort. The Nissan PATROL Radio featuring an AM/FM, CD/MP3 player with HDD music box, Bluetooth, an 8” Wide Video Graphic Array (WVGA) centre display and various sources of music, video and entertainment, such as the DVD, iPod and game player works in concert to bring in an enhanced interior comfort and luxury levels for the whole family.
The Patrol’s Vehicle Dynamic Control will automatically prevent the vehicle from sliding sideways on slippery road surfaces when changing lanes or negotiating a curve.
This big animal is also armed with an array of ingenious technologies ranging from smart technology like the innovative Intelligent Blind Spot Warning and Intelligent Blind Spot
Intervention, the Intelligent Forward Collision Warning to the Intelligent Lane Departure Warning. The list extends to twosome of an Intelligent Lane Intervention and an Intelligent
Lane Intervention.
A tripartite alliance of an Intelligent Ride Control system, an Intelligent Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and intelligent Cruise Control allows you to drive more like a pro. An Intelligent Ride Control system offers 4-wheel independent suspension. Working with the chassis and body frame the system maximizes the suspension stroke on off-road running and prevents roll angle, to maintain flat riding with high damping force at cornering. The HBMC system gives the Nissan PATROL superb stability on rugged and sandy terrain, while also delivering a comfortable ride in the city.
The Patrol is backed by a 6-YEAR OR 150 000KM WARRANTY and a 3-YEAR OR 90 000KM SERVICE PLAN, whichever comes first.
