Hi there, I’m Andrew! Big news just dropped—Nissan has officially announced when they’ll be unveiling the all-new Patrol. Mark your calendars because September 4th is the day we’ll finally get a look at this highly anticipated SUV. We’ve got a sneak peek of what we think it’s going to look like, along with all the details you need to know.
So, what’s the scoop? Nissan Middle East is set to reveal the next-generation Patrol, which we believe will be the Y63, replacing the current Y62 model. It’s been a long time coming, and we’re just as eager as you are to see what Nissan has in store. We’ll be there to cover the event, so make sure to subscribe to our channel and hit the bell icon. The moment we get footage of this new Patrol, it’ll be live on our channel, and I’ll break down all the info for you.
What We Know So Far
Let’s dive into what we’ve learned so far, starting with the design. We’ve put together a render based on extensive spy shots, and let me tell you, it’s looking sharp! As a huge fan of big SUVs like the Patrol and Land Cruiser, I’m thrilled with how this new model is shaping up. It’s still got that rugged, go-anywhere look, but with a sleeker, more modern edge.
From what we can tell, the new Patrol features a split headlight design, a bold grille with the Nissan logo, and a mix of Infinity-style luxury with the tough aesthetic you’d expect from a Patrol. You’ll also notice side steps, air vents, a 360-degree camera system, roof rails, and tinted privacy glass.
Around back, we’re expecting an LED light bar that stretches across the rear, with a stylishly integrated Nissan logo and exhaust pipes tucked neatly below. This design seems to be pushing the Patrol into a more premium territory, which likely means a heftier price tag—possibly 10-20% more than the current model’s top-end price.
Engine Specs: What’s Under the Hood?
Now, let’s talk engines. Unfortunately, the V8 is confirmed to be gone, which is a bit of a bummer for those of us who loved its power and sound. Instead, the new Patrol will likely feature a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6, borrowed from Infiniti.
This engine is expected to deliver 336 kW of power and just under 700 Nm of torque—significantly more than the current 5.6-liter V8. It’s also a big step up from what Toyota’s offering in the 300 Series Land Cruiser, giving Nissan a competitive edge.
While Toyota has had some issues with their turbocharged V6 in the U.S., Nissan seems confident in their new powertrain, and we’re hopeful it’ll live up to the Patrol’s tough reputation. Inside, we’re expecting a big upgrade in cabin quality.
Nissan has been tweaking the Patrol’s interior recently, but it’s still lagging behind modern standards. This new model should bring things up to speed with features like lockable differentials, more advanced off-road modes, and a much-improved infotainment system.
Why You Should Be Excited
So, am I excited for the reveal on September 4th? Absolutely! Nissan is aiming to create a vehicle that’s not only capable off-road but also looks and feels more premium than ever. I’m curious—what features are you hoping to see? Is there something that would make or break your decision to choose this over other SUVs? Let me know in the comments!
