The all-new Nissan Patrol has officially landed in the Philippines.
Nissan’s flagship SUV has gone through a complete overhaul, with a few more executive-style points thrown into its design language. However, it is still a more-than-capable overland vehicle with a 4WD system, and a punchy powertrain that outputs an impressive amount of torque. That package comes in a single variant, and is priced at P5.385 million.
Before we digress any further, here is everything you need to know about the Nissan Patrol.

Exterior
Compared to the previous generation, the new Nissan Patrol fascia gives off a more stoic impression due to its thinner layout and simpler design. There are also significantly fewer chrome finishes on the front and around the sides, which helps the car look tidier. In place of chrome, metallic badges are sparingly, but elegantly, placed around the Patrol to honor its brand.
The tailgate has been stripped to a straight light bar connecting the two lights. The Patrol label has also been mounted in a different font and finish that looks as commanding as ever. Above that is a roof spoiler that packs in a LED stop lamp, and hides away the rear wiper. The back-facing camera is also tucked away in there.
While stoic and clean, the Patrol is still a burly full-size SUV that comes in at 5,350mm long, 2,115mm wide, and 1,945mm tall, with 244mm of that height in its ground clearance alone. From wheel to wheel, the Patrol measures a lengthy 3,075mm. Speaking of the wheels, 20-inch machine cut alloys are shod in 275/60R20 tires, which should make for capable all-terrain driving.
Interior
Its total length was put to great use as the cabin sits up to eight passengers with a very spacious third row—with a motorized backrest, USB-C charging ports, and cupholders, the works. The panoramic sunroof also extends throughout the length of the roofline.
The driver and their seven passengers are treated to quilted leather seats, with more leather stitched across the interior. The two front seats are also heated and ventilated, with 10-way power adjustment.
First- and second-row passengers get two screens each: a digital instrument cluster for the driver, and the 14.3-inch main infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. On the second row are two 12.8-inch entertainment screens with HDMI ports, USB-C connectivity, and smartphone casting capabilities.
Complementing those screens is a 12-speaker system from Klipsch, which promises cinema-level audio quality throughout the cabin. There are also three 12V power sockets and six USB-C ports by the doors and other side panels for charging.
Engine and specs
Gone is the V8 as the Nissan Patrol now packs a 3.5-liter twin-tubo V6, which produces a beefy 425hp and 700Nm of torque. That powerplant is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission with a two-speed transfer case, and six drive modes for different terrains and driving conditions.
The 4WD system is supported by an independent double wishbone suspension, that should provide a comfortable cruising experience at any seat in the car. When off-roading, the Patrol also features an electronic locking rear differential for better traction.
Extra features
The Nissan Patrol features adaptive air suspension with four adjustable levels. At its lowest setting, the Patrol can lower itself around seven inches from its base height. This feature can be controlled on the driver’s side of the car, or through a set of buttons in the rear cargo area. When parked, the adaptive air suspension will automatically lower the vehicle to make getting in and out much easier.
Nissan has also retained the cooling box found underneath the armrest of the center console. The console also features a wireless charger, and the tri-zone climate controls for the driver, front passenger, and those in the second and third rows. Passengers in the second row also have their own climate control panel, while those in the third get their own air vents.
There is also a full suite of advanced driver-assist system features, with adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist. Nissan Intelligent Mobility also packs in a 3D around-view monitor and several warning and intervention protocols.
