2024 Nissan Patrol Warrior 4x4 review - inc. off-road 4WD, caravan towing test!

Thanks everyone for checking this video out. I published it just a few days prior to Nissan announcing its big changes to the interior of the Patrol - including the removal of the ancient screen and replacement with a new setup that will undoubtedly make it a bit nicer to live with.

Thanks again for your support!

You can do height adjustment on the steering wheel, there is a seperate lever underneath the steering column to adjust height.

Best Japan car ❤❤❤

Patrol change desel

When people complain the fuel economy, the difference in price between this and the equivalent diesel LandCruiser will buy you almost 90,000km worth of fuel at $2.25/litre and 20l/100kms. And that's before factoring in the more expensive servicing modern diesels require.

Did the back sag much when towing the van, it hard to tell in the video?

Loved the video mate. Just wondering, would you recommend a patrol warrior or a Ti-L? I’m struggling to decide at the moment

And this vehicle is in now way outdated with the engine. Find another V8 NA petrol with the figures it has. It was massively advanced when it came out... now just far better than most. Consider any other NA V8 with these figures and the sublime drive and let me know what is better

Yeah, nah - the third row single seat has anchor points for a kids seat as well

Yeah nah... you can adjust the steering for both reach and height. Have one, all good.

Try be objective in your review. Alot of the reason people choose a y62 is due to older electronics, (more reliable) less sensors less to fault. Overall maybe have a look at the Mark reviews on car expert. For reference you call the V8 a dinosaur, then you go on to mention how great the engine is and preforms.-Contradicting statements Some of the oldest engine variants in today's market out preform newer higher tuned engines. Reliability reasons again.

It does go up and down, it's a different lever further underneath the centre of the steering wheel. Also, your fuel calcs aren't mathing.

Warrior or Ranger Raptor?

As an American "Armada" owner, I'm bummed we dont get the Warrior but the outdated interior is a deal breaker for sure. However I do want that Warrior exhaust!!!

It did pretty well in swimming Dubai's flood..... Its a powerful machine

유익한 리뷰 잘보고 갑니다 armada 를 구입할생각이 있는데 고민이 있습니다 구식을 살까 아니면 좀 기다렸다가 2025신향을 구입해야되나 결정하기 어렵네요 님이라면 구식을 구입할건지 아니면 신형을 구입할건지 님의 선택을 알고싶어요

I could be very wrong with my guess on this statement which is ; When the new Twin Turbo V6 Patrol comes out it will PROBABLY be similar to the outrageously priced 300 series.
Adding a tuning chip to this vehicle does achieve better power, torque and the ability to run 91 octane.
Plus $30,000.00 is a lot of fuel to burn to balance the purchase of this or 300 aeries.

Love my patrol. Very capable. Just completed a lap of Oz towing 3.5t van. Initially I freaked out about fuel. After driving the beast I no longer care. It does such a good job and goes anywhere while being comfortable. And well the V8 sound. What can I say. Thanks for the review.

Tailgating bogans generally drive these

Q. What is another 4wd that is petrol and thirsty and costs less?
A. Raptor.

Im confused, it has side exhaust and rear exhaust?? Is it really an AWD/4WD? Meaning full time 4wd? Like the LC300.

This review spends too much time on criteria that would be irrelevant to the target market.

If Nissan modernised this vehicle they would sell heaps

Fuel consumption is better than the old 200 series when towing. there are few tow tests that have been done and on you tube to compare, the patrol come out in front. 300 series I havent seen any comparable figures yet. On the freeway cycle in the patrol you can achieve under 12.s and thats doing the speed limit. Towing your figures were pretty much spot on as thats what I roughly get, I get around 1 litre less but the van I tow is only 2.8T. They did a tow test behind the toyota 2.8D4D range and the average was 18/19L per 100 and it was ringing its neck. Interior 100% is outdated in the patrol and should have been updated years ago, the new series 5 out now has the new head unit in it BUT you lose the 360 cameras, the trizone AC in the rear, but you gain the centre console fridge but you still get to keep the lovely woodgrain unless its the warrior. Still way cheaper than a 300 series with vinyl floor on the GX range for 110k or a GR sport at 150K. the patrol still great value for money

The middle row only contains two legal anchor points one in each of the outboard seats. the one in the middle of the second row is not a legal anchor point for a child seat. Its also off set which is why its not approved. In saying that there a lot of people who use it, but technically illegal as its not approved anchor point

The seat you are sitting in, in the third row is approved for child seat and there is an anchor point from the factory there to use but no ISO fix

Height adjustment on the steering wheel is available on the full range of Y62 patrols. There is two levers under the column. One for height and lowering, the other for reach

Patrol warrior is an 8 seater not 7

It's only a mere 140,000 dollar Nissan. Gee...we can all run out and buy that...rofl

The interior of the y62 is really what made me not buy one. Comparing the Australian interior to other countries and you really see how bad it is. There's a video on the y62 out of the phillipines and the interior looks like what the Aus spec should be.

Yeah , A big NO to the Chinese Tank , a huge SUV with tiny 2 litre engine , Hell NO , not buying that at all .

Your a journo and still can't see that the steering wheel does tilt mate there is another lever down there lol

Ugly AF

To expensive for a Nissan

@ 22.45 it's not a SUV anymore

Good engine, tested on the Mountain 👍

Pff infotainment. I can read a map

i wouldnt change my y62 for any other vehicle, my 200 series towing a 3t van used 26l per 100 the patrol uses 23

great review mate , last of the dinosaurs

Toyota tax!! Hahahaha… take the patrol any day of the week…

Great review, awkward upload date as the new warrior my24 came out 2 days ago, with FINALLY a modern infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and android auto as well as a cool box for an extra 3k.

That fuel economy is much better than my 200 series economical diesel!

looks good till you get inside

unless you have a thing with V8, otherwise there is no reason to pick tank 500 over this dinosaur... pump $20k to modify the tank 500, you will get at a same if not better capable off road machine with less fuel consumption and $20k more in your pocket.

electric tailgate, electric rear seats...something else to waste money on if they fail. Go to Bunnings, get some concrete and harden the fook up. Boot too high to lift your cargo into refer to previous Bunnings shopping list. Any disagreements with the aforementioned, I accept if the argument refers to my crude comments. If not, then you should reflect and refer to logic: why are you considering a lifted vehicle if concerned with its height? Why do you need electric motors for simple tasks? Do you have automated doors in your house? Do you have electric recline function in your couch? ;) Thanks for sharing. PS: My comments are aimed at the potential buyers who consider those points to be a negative and are not aimed at the reviewer!

Yup gwm would be best, heres why, when world transition to EV(damnn) in 1 year 😂😂, this gwm will be time to replace. Thats how long it will last. A year. 😂😂😂

Can honestly say that with the numbers of Y62 Patrols being delivered across the country, the lack of Apple Car Play / Android Auto, the tree friendly wood grain and the “Terrible” fuel consumption must really be killing it (sarcasm).
As alternative vehicles go, your list was probably your worst recommendations yet 😢.
The closest vehicles when looking at capabilities off the showroom are tens of thousands of dollars more. Think LC300 GR sport, Defender, Grenadier Trialmaster. All damn fine vehicles by up to $50k better?

A cd player in a 2024 vehicle 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Pay over 100k then have to put a new entertainment system cause the standard one is 💩
Get rid of the wiggles sticker package
Pay the extra and go for the 300s Toyota

For what the majority use these vehicles for the GWM would be a far better choice. 😊

A huge off-road vehicle that suits a purpose (if you have it). Great for cross country family travel if you’re happy to pay the fuel costs. Technology looks primeval, so needs an update. Internal design seems ordinary and past generation. The Warrior upgrade looks excellent. Better as a five seater than a seven. Looks like a possibly good alternative to the Landcruiser. It’s showing its age I’m afraid. The huge petrol motor is getting old and thirsty, extraordinarily so. If you buy one make sure you have the income necessary to run the thing as well as to pay for the vehicle and afford its maintenance. Not for me I’m afraid, but a great review to inform those who want/need such a huge vehicle.
