Mountains, rivers, valleys or hills, no matter what the terrain the Nissan Patrol knows no boarders or boundaries! The tough-as-nails 4x4 SUV is built to conquer any obstacle and take on any challenge no matter where in the world you may be. With its masculine exterior and refined and spacious interior, this 4x4 is in a league of its own, matching the character of its driver with its rugged style.

The "Go Anywhere Vehicle"

Rough terrain ahead of you? Well then bring it on, because the powerful Nissan Patrol won’t EVER let you down! Shift directly and effortlessly from 2WD to 4WD while on the move and choose high or low gear ratios depending on the surface on which you are traveling. With a strong ladder frame, chassis and highly articulated suspension, plus the ability to climb at a 39-degree gradient and wade through up to an amazing 700mm of water, you’re always guaranteed to reach your final destination.

Rugged Looks with a Luxury Interior

It might be a tough looking bugger on the outside, but inside the Nissan Patrol is styled to impress even the most hardened outdoorsman. From soft-feel material surfaces and top quality leather trim to brushed aluminium and woodgrain finishes, the Patrols cabin echoes Nissan opulence. Electric front seats, auto front and rear climate control, advanced audio systems and a high end cruise control function allow for a comfortable drive while ample airbags, ABS, crumple zones, side impact beams and a collapsible steering column promise a safe and secure journey both on and off road.

So How Much does the Nissan Patrol Cost?

The ultra-adventurous Nissan Patrol retails from R608,300 for the 3.0L TD GL diesel model with 5-spd manual transmission and is also available in a very powerful 4.8L GRX petrol model that features automatic transmission with a 5-spd tiptronic capability. Nissan has also recently released a limited edition Nissan Patrol Adventurer 60 to celebrate 60 years of off-road domination by one of the most iconic off road vehicles to ever come out of Japan. Apart from all of the standard features these Nissan Patrol models also come equipped with a waterproof GPS/navigation system, bull-bar, spot lights, snorkel, BF Goodrich all terrain 17" tyres (some of the best 4x4 tyres in the world), luggage room tray, canvas seat covers, light harness and a full 4x4 recovery kit. So, would the Nissan Patrol be a clever buy for an outdoorsman? Undoubtedly YES!
