New Nissan Patrol

Overview

The Nissan Patrol has reached legendary status. If there is dust flying, a river flooding or mud from here to the horizon, you're probably going to find the legendary Nissan Patrol in the middle of it. For nearly half a century, it has proved time and time again that it has the toughness, integrity and reliability to withstand Australian conditions.

In 1962, the Patrol performed its first legendary act as the first vehicle to successfully cross the Simpson Desert. Today, the Patrol continues its legendary status. It continues to have the power to shift you and your gear from one corner of the country to the other, and the toughness to bring you back in one piece. Tough, rugged and powerful. They're the hallmarks of the Nissan Patrol.

All Patrol models (excluding DX) provide seat height and lumbar support adjustment to suit your own driving style. The Ti models also has a 4-way electric seat control for the driver and 2-way control for the front seat passenger. (emTi model shown).

Exterior

Unmistakeably Nissan, Unmistakeably Patrol

The Nissan Patrol is an icon amongst 4WDs and its design enhances its status as a legendary 4WD. On the outside, it's hard to ignore the sense of purposeful and legendary design. It encapsulates Nissan's global 4x4 design revolution to give the Patrol a powerful, big, tough and supremely capable look.

Range of colours

Choose a colour that reflects your unique style. The ST and Ti Patrol comes in five appealing and contemporary colours available. These colours complement the Patrol's bold styling, which features body coloured bumpers and over-fender flares on all models (excluding DX).

Sunroof

In the Ti, you'll find a large electric glass sunroof which tilts and slides open to give you more natural light, fresh air and an even better view of this great land.

Wheels

The ST and Ti Patrol feature 17 inch alloy wheels with 27565R17 tyres to complement Patrol's tough look. For those requiring a true workhorse application, the DX model features 5.50F 16 split rims on manual models and 6JJ16 spoked steel wheels with 23580R16 tyres on auto models. There is also the option on DX models to choose 8JJ16 spoked steel wheels with 26570R16 tyres. emTi model shown.

Halogen headlights

Powerful halogen headlamps feature high power and wide illumination, which provides excellent visibility at night or in poor weather.

Fog lights

To increase your visibility, no matter where your adventure takes you, the Patrol now features fog lights as standard (except DX model). Fully integrated into the colour coded front bumpers, these great-looking fog lights add further practicality to the legendary Patrol.

Chrome power mirrors

Large side-view chrome power door mirrors (excluding DX) give you a wider field of vision - and the extra confidence you need whether you're manoeuvring in and out of tight spots, or when reversing with the boat.

Performance

The Power To Go Anywhere...And Do Anything!

Tough, rugged and powerful. They're the hallmarks of the Nissan Patrol. And they can be delivered through a choice of high performance petrol engines or models sporting the common-rail turbo diesel engine.

Legendary power

The 4.8 litre petrol engine pumps out an impressive 180kW, giving you all the power you're ever likely to need. And it offers a massive 3,500kg braked towing capacity. It's also available with a refined, yet gutsy, 3.0 litre common-rail intercooled turbo diesel engine which delivers 118kW. This diesel engine delivers the fuel economy benefits that diesel engines can provide, yet provides you the responsiveness you'd expect from a petrol engine. The common rail system also helps to significantly reduce the noise and vibration to offer a quieter, more comfortable ride whilst giving you gutsy power to help you on your journey.

Best of both worlds

Petrol Patrol models feature a 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode to offer you the freedom to drive your way. When you're on the highway, 'Auto' mode provides effortless cruising. Then, when you turn off-road, switch to 'Manual-shift', and take advantage of the Patrol's gutsy power and performance. Should you choose a diesel Patrol, you have the option of a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual to give gutsy performance. (emTi model shown).

Cruise control

Every Patrol comes with cruise control, so you can relax on the open road and slightly accelerate, if required (emTi model shown).

Switch between 4x2 and 4x4

Patrol lets you choose between 2WD for normal cruising and 4WD for more rugged terrain. On all models excluding the DX, locking front hubs engage automatically to 4WD. A dual range transfer gearbox also means you can switch from high to low ratios for extra tricky terrain. And for even greater traction, a limited slip differential is also standard on all models.

Built for strength

One of the key reasons behind the Patrol's legendary driveability is its outstanding stability and control. This is possible due to a sturdy separate ladder chassis - engineered for stability during high speed cruising and on rough terrain, and a stabiliser bar that lends control even when you're cornering.

Stay on track

No matter where you and your Patrol end up, the Patrol will give you the assurance no matter what terrain you cross with sharp, responsive handling and steering that responds to your every command.

Keep something in reserve

All Patrol models offer the convenience of a 95 litre fuel tank. However, the turbo diesel models also feature a sub tank, with a reserve of 30 litres. This feature will ensure you spend even more time in the great outdoors.

Safety

A Heritage Of Advancing Safety

The legend of Patrol's almost 'bulletproof indestructibility' has been inspired by the ruggedness of its immensely separate ladder chassis, all-steel body with extended and reinforced crumple zones, and steel anti-intrusion bars. Stability, handling and Nissan's off-road nouse are evident in the way advanced safety systems like ABS have been adapted to the needs of off-road driving. In fact, Nissan was the first to develop a 4WD with 'intelligent' ABS (ABS brakes are a standard feature on ST and Ti models).

Anti-lock Braking System

Nissan was the first to develop a 4WD with an 'Intelligent' Anti-lock Braking System that operates in all transmission modes. This helps you keep directional control when braking or turning and sends a signal to the braking system when it senses wheel lock. It also applies and releases the brakes up to 20 times per second for optimum stopping and control. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) has a gravel sensor that actually detects what sort of surface the Patrol is travelling on and automatically adjusts itself to best handle the situation.

Four disc brakes

Every Patrol comes with large diameter ventilated disc brakes on all its wheels. This enables heat to be dissipated rapidly to improve braking action, promote less brake fade and enhance the life of your brakes.

Avoid blind spots

With its wide angle view and full colour display, Nissan Rear Park Assist (NRPA) on Ti models only helps eliminate blind spots. The camera automatically activates when reverse gear is selected - helping to prevent accidents whilst reversing.

Dual front airbags

Reduces the risk of facial and upper body injuries to the driver and passenger in the event of a frontal collision. The airbags are designed to remain inflated long enough to help provide enhanced protection. Ti models also feature the added safety of dual side airbags.

Built for safety

The Patrol has been designed with an all-steel body on a separate ladder chassis, including a rigid passenger safety cell. It also has reinforced B-pillars and body sills, plus steel anti-intrusion bars in both the front and rear doors. Plus doors, trims and other components are also designed to lessen the effect of primary or secondary impact.

Child safety

Handy child-proof door locks on the rear doors help stop children from accidentally opening doors whilst you're driving. There are also three child seat anchor points (two on DX models) providing additional seating flexibility. All seats in the Patrol are also made from fire retardant materials for improved safety.

Halogen headlights

Brilliant, sharp illumination for night driving to give you the reassurance and extra reaction time you need to pick out road signs or hazard warnings, especially when you're on a remote track or a lonely, unfamiliar highway.

Absorbing side structure

The strategic placement of high strength reinforcement in the cabin structure is complemented by an energy absorbing side structure. Doors, trims and other components are designed to lessen the effect of primary impact and reduce force in a secondary impact.

Theft prevention

Every Patrol comes with a Nissan Anti-Theft System (NATS). This includes an engine immobiliser to deter would-be thieves.
