New look Nissan Patrol lands in Australia
The 2020 Nissan Patrol, complete with a new look and a range of safety technologies added as standard equipment, is on sale in Australia now.
Nissan says the new Patrol offers improved ride comfort thanks to a suspension retuning with improved dampers.
Regardless of the grade, the Patrol comes with a 5.6-litre V8 petrol engine with 298kW and 560Nm of torque and a seven-speed automatic transmission with manual mode and Adaptive Shift Control (ASC). Also featured are an electronic rear diff lock, Hill Descent Control (HDC) with on/off switch, Hill Start Assist (HAS) and an off-road monitor.
The Patrol comes with an intelligent key with remote keyless entry, push button start, tri-zone climate air conditioning, cruise control, sat nav with 3D mapping, an 8-inch colour touch screen display, and heated door mirrors.
Across both grades there have been changes to the bonnet and fender panels, front grille, LED front lamps and the front bumper.
The front and rear LED lamps are significantly improved, with 52 LEDs in the front headlight – plus the LED fog lamps – and a total of 44 LEDs in the rear.
The major technical changes to the 2020 Nissan Patrol have also increased safety with an increased suite of Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) across the range.
Both grades now include the following updated technologies as standard equipment:
- Intelligent Emergency Braking
- Intelligent Forward Collision Warning
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- While the following are already standard on the Patrol Ti-L, the Patrol Ti now includes the following technologies:
- Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC)
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
- Intelligent Lane Intervention
- Blind Spot Warning (BSW)
- Intelligent Blind Spot Intervention
In addition to these technologies, both Patrol grades get outside power folding mirrors with auto-folding function.
Nissan Patrol is covered by Nissan’s 5 year/unlimited kilometre warranty.
