2023 nissan patrol review

The 2023 Nissan Patrol is a rolling tribute to displacement: a burly 5.6‑litre V8 with about 298 kW/560 Nm feeding a 7‑speed auto and proper 4x4 hardware.

It tows 3,500 kg with a straight face and cruises like a lounge room on wheels, though it drinks like one too—expect mid‑teens L/100km in the real world.

On road it’s quiet and comfy; in corners it prefers a dignified lope to any heroics, but the ride shrugs off corrugations like they’re gossip.

Off road, clearance, low range and traction brains make light work of sand and rocky climbs; its sheer size is the only “oops, that gum tree is closer than I thought” moment.

The cabin is roomy and plush (especially Ti‑L), yet the infotainment and driver-assist tech feel last-decade compared with fresher rivals.

If you want diesel thrift or cutting‑edge gadgets, look elsewhere; if you want a dependable big V8 wagon that’ll haul family, boat and ego, this one’s your huckleberry.
