Nissan Patrol Ti-L 4WD 2022 Review

Nissan Patrol Ti-L – The automotive landscape in Australia is full of long term rivalries such Ford vs Holden and Patrol vs LandCruiser. 2022 Nissan Patrol Ti-L front quarter The ageing Patrol has had somewhat of a resurgence this year, mainly due to the outstanding value equation and supply issues for the LandCruiser. In the past the LandCruiser outsold the Patrol buy sometimes 7:1, but this year that is closer to 2:1 and last month it was almost 1:1 in sales.

Buyers simply find they can save sometimes $30,000 on similarly equipped models plus get their vehicle much sooner and only forsake a few features.

It still comes with a, a big 5.6 litre V8 petrol engine with 298 kW and 560Nm of torque matched to a seven-speed automatic transmission and permanent 4WD. Plant the right foot and it will drink fuel at an astonishing rate and there is simply no way to drive it economically around town. On the freeway its heaps better.

Add to that the prodigious 4WD capability and excellent towing credentials and you can see why it’s popular.

But the news isn’t all good, it’s getting old inside now and desperately needs an update and it misses basic features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Priced from around$82,000 through to $95,115 plus the usual costs, you can understand buyer’s interest.

What is not so good?

Also Look At

The world of large 4WDs has shrunk over the years. Obviously look at the Toyota Land Cruiser. Or the Toyota Prado Kakadu. Land Rover has the Discovery and the Defender
