Verdict: Should You Buy the Nissan Patrol?

The Patrol is the full-size SUV for those who refuse to compromise – V8 power, 8 seats and real off-road credentials.

In a world of monocoque crossovers, the Patrol stands apart with its body-on-frame toughness and V8 engine. It’s unashamedly large, thirsty and expensive – and completely unique in what it offers.

If you genuinely need to seat 8, tow 3.5 tonnes and traverse remote terrain without a support vehicle, the Patrol is your answer. Nothing else in SA sells at this price point with this combination of capability and comfort.
