00:00Welcome to the video from the Auto Magazine Tuning Blog.
00:04Today, it's all about the Nissan Patrol.
00:08Nissan is celebrating a remarkable milestone in Australia.
00:13Over 250,000 units of the Patrol have been sold there since 1961.
00:18What may sound like a small number at first becomes much more impressive in relation to the size of the Australian car market.
00:24In 2024, a total of around 1.2 million new cars were sold there.
00:31By way of comparison, the figure in the USA was around 16 million.
00:37The Patrol, known in North America as the Armada and originally introduced in 1951 with visual cues from the Wiley Jeep, has become a fixture on the Fifth Continent.
00:46In Australia in particular, the vehicle is considered a reliable and capable workhorse, similar to the Land Cruiser.
00:57Despite its age, the current generation White 62, which was launched on the Australian market in 2012, recorded its best sales figures since 2004 in 2024 with around 8,300 units delivered, all with V8 motor engines.
01:11The most successful period for the Patrol in Australia, however, remains the year 1998, when around 14,000 vehicles were sold with the introduction of the GU generation.
01:26A significant share of the continued relevance of the older Y62 was played by the company Premcar, which, together with Nissan Australia, launched the particularly off-road version, the Patrol Warrior.
01:36Whether this upswing will continue, however, remains to be seen.
01:42After all, the next generation of the Y63 has already been officially presented.
01:50However, the introduction in Australia is not expected before the end of 2026, but is more likely to be early 2027.
01:56Nissan already took its time with the MP62, it was launched worldwide in February 2010, but did not reach Australian dealerships until October 2012.
02:07The 63 generation, which is technically related to the Infiniti QX80 of the 2025 model year, was introduced in September 2024.
02:16Production began in October, but initially only for left-hand drive markets.
02:20The switch to a V6 turbocharged engine leaves open whether the new Patrol can build on the sales success of the proven V8-powered Y62.
02:32The new Patrol has been on sale in the Middle East since November 2024.
02:37The price there starts at around âŹ59,800.
02:41By way of comparison, the U.S. Armada is listed at around âŹ52,000.
02:46The basic version for the Middle East uses a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine from the VQ family.
02:54The optional VR engine with Baturbo delivers 425 horsepower and 700 newton-meters of torque.
03:01A significant increase over the previous level of 316 horsepower and 386 newton-meters.
03:09A diesel version is still missing, which could...
03:12Well, by 5 years or around âŹ160,000 for the powertrain.
