The first all-new Nissan Patrol in 14 years is set to take the fight to the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 albeit with no diesel engines on offer.
Like the current model, the new version will also not feature diesel engines.The all-new Nissan Patrol sent out a loud and clear message during its first appearance in Abu Dhabi this week. If it could talk, it would have said: “I’m coming for you, Toyota Land Cruiser 300.”
The first all-new Nissan Patrol in 14 years has raised its game significantly from the current model. It sports good looks, boasts lots of tech and a serious powertrain.podcast, Charl Bosch explains why he was very impressed with the new model while attending its world premiere in the UAE on Tuesday. But he also warns that it will be some time until the new Patrol is introduced to the South African market, if it does get approval.
The seven-speed automatic gearbox has been replaced by a nine-speed transmission which is operated with a push-button instead of a lever. Nissan claims the all-new Patrol will sip less than 11 litres of petrol per 100km, which is a major improvement from the 5.6-litre version. When the new Patrol finally does arrive in South Africa, it will renew it long-standing rivalry with the Toyota Land Cruiser 300, albeit the latter will be older than five years by then. But what will once again count against the Nissan is a lack of a diesel engine.
