Better than Land Cruiser! All New 2025 Nissan Patrol Redesign

Nissan’s next-generation Patrol is edging closer to production, with late-stage prototypes now spotted testing in extreme climate conditions such as the United Arab Emirates. Yet, despite its Japanese parentage and global market focus, the all-new Y63 will have more Australian input than any previous version in the series’ 72-year run, due to ever-growing demand for the existing model. Speaking to CarsGuide at the launch of the Y62 Patrol Warrior in Tasmania in late September, Nissan Australia Managing Director, Adam Paterson, reiterated Australia’s growing importance and the effect that is having shaping the coming Y63. Industry publication Automotive News is citing a Nissan dealership contact in the US who has been briefed on the plans, with the Patrol – badged in North America as the Armada – set to replace its petrol V8 for a “more fuel-efficient” twin-turbo V6. "Fuel efficiency is on everybody's mind," another insider told Automotive News. "If they can get the same horsepower and torque out of a V6, why not?" However, the Nissan Armada is manufactured in the US, while Australian and Middle Eastern markets receive Japanese-made Nissan Patrol models, suggesting the two related vehicles could be on different trajectories. In December 2021, the US Environmental Protection Agency finalised tough new vehicle regulations, which require a 28.3 per cent reduction in emissions through to 2026 – a stark contrast to laws in Australia and Middle Eastern countries where more relaxed emission laws are enjoyed. The difference could mean Australia’s Nissan Patrol will continue with the 5.6-litre V8 for a number of years, before potentially moving to the V6. #automagztv #suv #2025 #nissan #nissanpatrol #patrol #landcruiser
