MELBOURNE: Nissan Australia has confirmed that orders for the all-new Y63 Patrol will open later this month.
The next-generation flagship 4×4 is scheduled to arrive in Australian showrooms in the first quarter of 2027.
For the first time, the Patrol is powered by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine that builds on the brand's renowned GT-R engineering expertise.
Producing 317kW (431PS) and 700Nm, it is paired with a new nine-speed automatic transmission.
The new powertrain delivers 19kW (26PS) more power, sharper response and 140Nm more torque than its predecessor.
Importantly, peak torque is also available earlier in the rev range, delivering stronger performance in everyday driving, towing and off-road conditions.
Drawing on Nissan GT-R technology, the Patrol’s 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 also incorporates a scavenger oil pump to maintain consistent engine lubrication during extreme off-road driving, including steep inclines and off-camber terrain.
Select grades of the all-new Patrol will offer Adaptive Air Suspension for the first time.
Paired with Nissan's newly available Intelligent Dynamic Damping (e-Damper technology), which continuously adjusts to changing road and terrain conditions, the system enables the vehicle to raise or lower its ride height to suit the driving environment.
In Off-Road Mode, Adaptive Air Suspension increases ride height to improve approach, breakover and departure angles.
When the transmission is shifted into Park, the system can lower the vehicle making entry, exit and cargo loading easier.
On the highway, Adaptive Air suspension automatically lowers at speeds above 90kph and raises again at speeds below 70kph.
A Patrol and segment first, select grades feature Biometric Cooling, which intelligently monitors passengers’ temperatures upon entry and, when activated at vehicle ignition, automatically adjusts climate control settings to help set up a comfortable and cool cabin environment.
For the first time, select variants of the all-new Patrol feature massage functionality for front seats.
Additionally, first and second-row passengers are treated to 'zero-gravity' seats, which ensure optimal posture and support enhanced comfort during long journeys.
The all-new Patrol features a Monolith display that anchors the cabin, presenting infotainment, navigation, vehicle and connectivity information.
On select grades, the Monolith features dual 14.3-inch screens.
A Head-Up Display features on select grades of Patrol for the first time.
For the first time, select variants of Patrol will be available with a 12-speaker Klipsch premium audio system.
Developed in collaboration with Panasonic Automotive, the Klipsch sound system delivers rich, detailed audio through a 12-channel, 600-watt amplifier.
“For decades the Patrol has been a symbol of go-anywhere capability and trust, and it holds a special place with Australian customers. The all-new Y63 Patrol honours that heritage while taking a significant leap forward,” said Nissan Oceania managing director Steve Milette.
Since launching in Japan in 1951, the Patrol has earned a reputation as one of the toughest and most dependable 4×4 vehicles ever built.
Since its 1961 launch in Australia, the Patrol has become an enduring fixture of the outback, the worksite and the family driveway alike.
