The proven durability of Nissan engine technology in the 4.8 litre petrol engine has been refined and perfected to take top honours in the most gruelling international off-road motorsport events. Choose between manual or automatic transmission with manual shift mode. Enjoy fuel-efficient high speed highway cruising in automatic mode and take full advantage of the swift five-speed tiptronic for maximum performance.

Matched to a five-speed manual transmission, the 3.0 litre direct injection turbo diesel model with intercooler offers unstoppable power and torque to get you into and out of tough spots, with all the benefits of diesel fuel economy, and feels refined and relaxed even when you’re engaged in serious towing.

Turn off the beaten track and shift directly from 2WD to 4WD on the move. The free-running hubs engage automatically when 4WD is chosen for extra traction. Choose high ratio for slippery sand or mud, or low ratio for treacherous terrain and really steep climbs or descents. You can also lock the rear differential to distribute torque evenly between the rear wheels for maximum grip in axle-twisting situations. And when it gets really rough, manually lock the front hubs for total peace of mind.

When the going gets tough, the Nissan Patrol gets going. Climb a 39° gradient. Wade through 700mm of water. Taking the rough with the smooth, the Nissan Patrol’s all steel body on a strong ladder frame chassis, highly articulated suspension and flexible four-wheel drive system make it unstoppable. On road and off.

The Nissan Patrol’s superior handling is enhanced with all-round, multi-link suspension, which provides reassuring high-speed stability with a confident and supple ride on-road. Heavy duty coil springs smooth out the bumps and boulders for excellent durability and ride comfort. Add telescopic front and rear shock absorbers and stabiliser bars for improved cornering, and you get the confidence that comes with authentic off-road power and performance.
