Marking new chapter in its history, the all-new 2025 Nissan Patrol has made its global debut. The seventh-generation luxury SUV from Nissan has a striking new design, an all-new powertrain, and enhanced off-road capability headlined by standard adaptive air suspension.
The all-new Patrol captures the essence of Nissan’s global design philosophy, while also taking on an “unbreakable” appearance. This is shown in its bold, sculpted lines, balanced proportions, and impressive approach and departure angles (33 degrees approach, 25.5 degrees breakover, 24.5 degrees departure). It has the updated V-motion grille, now made wider and more integrated into the body. Flanking it are double C-shaped headlights with adaptive driving beams. At the back, it has a full-width light bar with a segmented design and a hidden rear wiper. The Patrol rides on 18-, 20- or 22-inch alloy wheels (market dependent), and is available in both monotone and two-tone color options.
The seventh-generation Patrol is the most powerful one to date thanks to a 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine that delivers 425 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque. This produces seven percent more power and 25 percent more torque than the outgoing V8, while also enhanced fuel efficiency (up 24 percent). Nissan is also adding a base engine too, and this one’s a 3.8-liter normally-aspirated V6 with 316 horsepower and 386 Nm of torque. Both engines are mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.
Going back to the turbocharged motor, Nissan says they’ve engineered it with several enhancements to deliver improved throttle response, high combustion efficiency for maximized power output, and mirror bore coating for enhanced thermal efficiency. The high heat-resistant turbocharger maintains peak performance under demanding conditions, while a scavenger oil pump ensures consistent lubrication on slopes and inclines, delivering reliable performance across all terrains.
The all-new Patrol also has several chassis changes including a 4WD transfer mode interlock system, a first for Nissan. It also adopts standard adaptive air suspension allowing for adjustable ride height (it drops 2 inches for easier ingress and egress from the standard 244 mm), improved high-speed aerodynamics, and off-road performance. E-dampers also automatically adjust stiffness according to the driving conditions for a more controlled and comfortable on-board experience.
Inside, the 2025 Patrol is all about comfort and sophistication. The seats are finished in quilted leather seats inspired by traditional Japanese wood craft called Kumiko. The first two rows of seats come with NASA-inspired spinal support tech (Zero Gravity Seats), with the front seats boasting massage functionality and eight-way power adjustment. A horizontal “Piano Button” e-shifter has also been introduced.
Speaking of modernity, the Patrol gets a 28.6-inch Monolith display with twin 14.3-inch displays. The rear seats get dual 12.8-inch screens too with Miracast, HDMI, and USB inputs. Complementing the visual experience is a 64-color ambient lighting system with customizable live backgrounds to match any mood.
NissanConnect 2.0 makes its debut on the all-new Patrol. This marks the first Nissan to be equipped with Google built-in integrating apps such as Google Maps and Google Assistant. Users can also download apps via the Google Playstore and personalize their experience (or sync between cars) when logging in with their Google Accounts. A 12-speaker Klipsch Premium Audio system replaces the Bose set-up in the current model.
A segment-first Biometric Cooling technology uses a built-in infrared sensor to detect the body temperature of front and second row passengers, and automatically adjusts air flow settings to provide a smart, intuitive cooling experience.
Of course, Nissan has paid attention to improve the cabin space, particularly in the first and third rows. Front legroom is up 107 mm, while third row legroom is up 145 mm. Cargo space is also higher than ever, rising by up to 30 percent. The third-row seats are power folding and the tailgate is power-actuated with hands-free tech.
In terms of safety, the 2025 Patrol gains increased ProPILOT ADAS functionality with GPS-linked features that automatically adjusts the adaptive cruise control for curves and interchanges. This allows for hands-off driving in select single-lane roads. The 360-degree camera has new modes—Invisible Hood View, Ultra-Wide Front View (170 degrees field of vision), and Rear Zoom View. A new body structure, constructed with increased use of high-strength steel, improves frontal crash and pedestrian protection. A driver’s knee airbag is new to the model, boosting its airbag count to seven.
The all-new Nissan Patrol will start retail sales by late 2024 in select markets such as the Middle East and the United States, where it continues to take on the name, Armada.
Looks way more luxurious,more refined and better in everything than the overrated LC300
ReplyDeleteNissan designed it to cater to the loyal Patrol and Armada SUV buyers from Middle Eastern,American and Australian markets
I was really looking forward to this then I saw the D-pillar..
ReplyDeleteGuess I'll be joining the Prado queue after all.
No you won't. You can't afford it.
DeleteHaha if you say say so bro
DeleteWhat a petty reason not to buy this. And also much pettier for queueing up for a relatively worse alternative (Prado).
DeleteLc300 for me. The new patrol uses Jatco transmission. No matter how they spin it as all new transmission or the most advanced, if made by this company it will mostly likely not last. Jatco is only known for one reason, and we all know why.
ReplyDeleteWala naman masyadong cases na nasisira na torque converter AT ng Jatco ah.
DeleteUsing the same logic, don't buy any Toyota because of their engine failure issues in the US and DPF problems in their GD lineupn̈. Don't buy any Isuzu because of the 4JX1 problems. Really, don't buy anything period.
DeleteThat's unfortunate, then. For discerning buyers, better wait out for the refreshed/revised version. All-new typically means 1st gen buyers get to be the guinea pigs for future improvements
DeleteIt will compete with Land Cruiser. Nice Job Nissan
DeleteSo I am the guinea pig?
DeleteWalang problem ang 9 speed automatic transmission nyan dahil hindi naman CVT yan
DeleteNissan Pathfinder uses that reliable transmission
Mas mauuna pang masira ang CVT transmissions ng Toyota at Daihatsu vehicles
Air suspension? Never had an air suspension car but most range rovers and other air suspension vehicles revert back to springs due to reliability.
ReplyDeleteSo this bold boxy yet smooth silhouette is now the standard for these big suvs? They used to be just land rovers but is now the design of the all new GX (and land cruiser), santa fe, volvo, and I see some chinese (gac iirc) that is shaped like this on the road.
ReplyDeleteBeutiful car and all the features. Easily beats the LC300 and Land Cruiser😍 Love it!
ReplyDeleteExciting to see Toyota Land Cruiser go head-to-head with Nissan Patrol.
ReplyDeletewhen do you think it will arrive in Philippines
ReplyDeleteMid or late 2025
DeleteI like the blue one. Good that they are adding more colors aside from the boring whites and blacks.
