nissan patrol 2023 review

The 2023 Nissan Patrol is a big, comfy lounge room with a 5.6‑litre V8 strapped underneath, which is as subtle as a pub band on karaoke night.

It hauls with effortless grunt—about 298 kW and 560 Nm through a 7‑speed auto—and tows up to 3,500 kg while the cabin swallows seven or eight humans without complaint.

On-road it’s smooth and serene; off-road it’s a walloping great mountain goat, if mountain goats drank 14–17 L/100 km of premium.

Tech feels a generation behind and the infotainment looks like it remembers CDs, but the seats are thrones and the suspension is pure marshmallow.

New pricing in 2023 sat roughly around $90k–$115k AUD drive-away depending on trim, with used examples often cheaper but hugely variable with accessories and kays.

If you want quiet luxury with a cheeky V8 soundtrack—and don’t mind fueling a small refinery—it’s a lot of truck for the money.
