Just the name conjures images of red dust, rugged terrain, and conquering the great outdoors. This legendary 4WD has been a staple for Aussie adventurers for decades, and the 2024 iteration keeps that tradition alive. But is it still the king of the off-road castle? Let&#8217;s grab our thongs and take a closer look.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:50\">Pros and Cons<\/h2>\n<h4 data-sourcepos=\"7:1-7:9\">Pros<\/h4>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"9:1-12:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:216\"><strong>Unmatched Off-Road Capability:<\/strong>\u00a0This Patrol is a beast. A 5.6L petrol V8 engine pumps out serious power, and the advanced 4WD system with terrain modes lets you tackle anything from sand dunes to rocky trails.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"10:1-10:241\"><strong>Creature Comforts:<\/strong>\u00a0Let&#8217;s face it, you won&#8217;t be living roughing it every day. Inside, the Patrol is plush and comfortable, offering ample seating for eight and features like a sunroof and a thumping sound system to keep everyone happy.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"11:1-12:0\"><strong>The Warrior Option:<\/strong>\u00a0For the ultimate off-road warrior, the Nissan Patrol Warrior by Premcar takes things to a whole new level. Think tougher suspension, chunkier tires, and a factory-backed warranty for peace of mind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:9\">Cons<\/h4>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"15:1-18:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"15:1-15:138\"><strong>Fuel Efficiency:<\/strong>\u00a0Let&#8217;s not sugarcoat it \u2013 the Patrol guzzles gas. You&#8217;ll be sipping premium unleaded like it&#8217;s going out of style.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"16:1-16:135\"><strong>Price Point:<\/strong>\u00a0This ain&#8217;t your budget 4WD. The Patrol starts at a cool $84,900, and the Warrior pushes that price tag even higher.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"17:1-18:0\"><strong>Size Matters:<\/strong>\u00a0This is a big rig. Navigating tight city streets or maneuvering into parking spots can be a challenge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"19:1-19:45\">How Much Does This Adventure Machine Cost?<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:303\">The <strong>2024 Nissan Patrol<\/strong> comes in two main trims: The Ti starts at $84,900 and offers all the bells and whistles you need for comfortable off-roading. The top-of-the-line Warrior, built in collaboration with Premcar, comes in at a hefty $101,160, but it earns its price tag with serious off-road upgrades.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"23:1-23:47\">Features and Benefits: More Than Just Muscle<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"25:1-25:131\">Sure, the <strong>Patrol<\/strong> has the muscle, but it&#8217;s also packed with features that make your adventure even better. Here are some highlights:<\/p>\n<ul data-sourcepos=\"27:1-30:0\">\n<li data-sourcepos=\"27:1-27:157\"><strong>Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS):<\/strong>\u00a0A suite of safety features like lane departure warning and blind-spot monitoring keeps you safe on the road.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"28:1-28:160\"><strong>NissanConnect Infotainment System:<\/strong>\u00a0Stay connected and entertained with a user-friendly touchscreen system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.<\/li>\n<li data-sourcepos=\"29:1-30:0\"><strong>Hydraulic Body Motion Control (Warrior):<\/strong>\u00a0This Premcar-developed system enhances off-road capability by adjusting suspension for maximum traction and stability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"31:1-31:52\">Safety First: Keeping You Protected on the Tracks<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"33:1-33:262\">The <strong>2024 Patrol<\/strong> boasts a five-star ANCAP safety rating, giving you peace of mind when you&#8217;re pushing the limits. Standard safety features include airbags galore, traction control, and electronic stability control, ensuring you and your passengers are protected.<\/p>\n<h3 data-sourcepos=\"1:1-1:71\">A Look at the 2024 Nissan Patrol<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"2024 Nissan Patrol Warrior Review: FINALLY\u2026 RIP LANDCRUISER 300 GR SPORT?\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JmaPgl9BgL8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"35:1-35:52\">Running Costs: Fuel Your Wanderlust (For a Price)<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"37:1-37:320\">As mentioned earlier, fuel efficiency isn&#8217;t the <strong>Patrol<\/strong>&#8216;s strong suit. The official combined fuel consumption figure sits at a hefty 14.4L\/100km, so be prepared to visit the pump regularly, especially if you&#8217;re planning extended off-road adventures. On the flip side, servicing costs are fairly average for a large SUV.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"39:1-39:54\">The Competition: Holding its Own in a Crowded Field<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"41:1-41:378\"><strong>The Patrol<\/strong> faces stiff competition from the likes of the <a href=\"https:\/\/motorscout.com.au\/model\/toyota-landcruiser\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toyota LandCruiser<\/a>. Both are legendary off-roaders, but the LandCruiser offers a diesel engine option for better fuel economy. The Patrol counters with its powerful V8 and luxurious interior. Ultimately, the choice depends on your priorities: raw power and comfort or fuel efficiency and a slightly more utilitarian feel.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"43:1-43:67\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<h4 data-sourcepos=\"43:1-43:67\">A Capable Off-Road Companion, But Consider the Costs<\/h4>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"45:1-45:443\">The <strong>2024 Nissan Patrol<\/strong> remains a force to be reckoned with in the off-road world. It offers unmatched capability, a comfortable interior, and the option for a factory-built warrior machine. However, the hefty price tag and thirst for fuel might deter some. If you prioritize conquering tough terrain in style and comfort, the Patrol is a compelling choice. But if fuel efficiency is a major concern, you might want to consider its competitors.<\/p>\n<h2 data-sourcepos=\"47:1-47:15\">Rating: 8\/10<\/h2>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"49:1-49:216\"><strong>The Patrol<\/strong> is a fantastic off-road SUV, but the high running costs hold it back from a perfect score. For the adventurous soul who prioritizes capability and comfort over fuel efficiency, the 2024 Nissan Patrol is a real winner. It will take you anywhere you want to go, in style and with all the gear you need. Just be prepared to budget for the fuel and find a parking spot big enough for this beast!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nissan Patrol.
