All Class. All Terrains: Meet the All‑New Nissan Patrol

When you hear “Patrol,” you think strength, durability, and rugged capability. But the latest All‑New Nissan Patrol proves that a beast of the terrain can also be a bastion of refinement and luxury. With the 2025 update, Nissan has elevated the Patrol, delivering a vehicle that can dominate the trails while pampering you in style.

A Heritage of Capability, Reimagined for Comfort

The Patrol has long stood among the legends of off-road SUVs. It’s synonymous with durability and versatility. In its latest iteration, Nissan has kept the rugged DNA intact – but layered in premium touches and technology to make every drive more enjoyable.

In New Zealand, the 2025 Patrol is offered in the Ti‑L grade introduces a host of interior enhancements and smart tech, while preserving the power and capability enthusiasts expect.

Performance That Commands Respect

• Engine & Drive
  The Patrol continues to run a potent 5.6 L V8 petrol engine, producing 298 kW of power and 560 Nm of torque. It’s paired with a seven‑speed automatic transmission with manual mode and Adaptive Shift Control (ASC).
• 4WD & Terrain Modes
  Thanks to an Intelligent 4WD shift switch (Auto, 4H & 4L) with selectable modes like On Road, Sand, Snow, Rock, the Patrol adapts to varying surfaces with ease. Features like Hill Descent Control (HDC), Hill Start Assist (HSA), and rear helical limited slip differential add to its serious off-road credentials.
• Towing & Strength
  The Patrol maintains a braked towing capacity of 3,500 kg, making it ideal for heavy-duty hauling – boats, caravans, trailers, you name it.

Luxury Meets Utility, inside the Cabin

One of the biggest changes for 2025 is inside. Nissan clearly focused on elevating the kiwi driver experience without compromising function.

• Central Touchscreen & Connectivity
  A 12.3‑inch integrated colour touchscreen sits center stage, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and in-built navigation.
• Driver Display + Off-Road Monitor
  The Patrol now includes a 7.0‑inch customisable TFT driver dash display, which also doubles as an Off-Road Monitor, giving you a visual readout of the vehicle around you when navigating rough terrain.
• Interior Aesthetic Options
  Buyers can choose between two interior colour schemes: a clean ebony black leather-accented design, or a warm chestnut brown palette with woodgrain highlights
• Comfort & Convenience Features
  The Ti‑L grade comes loaded with premium touches:
  • Bose® premium audio with 13 speakers.
  • Heated/cooled front seats with memory settings (also memorizes side mirror & steering column positions)
  • Power tailgate, sunroof, front cool box in the center console
  • Tri-zone climate control (with memory), second-row A/C controls, and multiple 12V outlets throughout the cabin and cargo area
  • Digital High-Definition Intelligent Rear View Mirror to improve rear visibility in challenging conditions.

Design & Safety, Looks That Impress, Tech That Protects

• Exterior Style
  The Patrol’s exterior is sleeker and more modern, but still muscular. Chrome accents, bold grille, sharp lighting elements, and clean surfaces all contribute to a commanding presence.
• Advanced Safety & Driver Assist
  As part of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, safety features include:
  • Intelligent Emergency Braking
  • Forward Collision Warning
  • Blind Spot Warning / Intervention
  • Lane Departure Warning / Lane Intervention
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Intelligent Cruise Control
  • Around‑View / 360° Monitor with Moving Object Detection

These systems help the Patrol remain confident and composed on both highways and tricky terrain.

On-Road vs Off-Road, Where the Patrol Thrives

On-Road: Despite its size and rugged underpinnings, the Patrol aims to provide a comfortable ride. The interior upgrades and insulation help reduce noise. The steering, suspension tuning, and features like the intelligent rear‑view mirror enhance daily usability.

Off-Road: This is where the Patrol is in its element. The terrain modes, off-road monitor, differential controls, and robust chassis ensure it’s prepared for dunes, rock, snow, mud – even the unknown. The Off-Road Monitor gives visual feedback so kiwi drivers can navigate NZ terrain with greater confidence.
