In a world where German and Korean SUVs often lead in tech innovation, the Nissan Patrol 2025 arrives to prove that Japan still holds strong cards in the game. This latest version of the legendary Patrol is not only built for the rough, but also feels like a high tech cockpit on wheels. Today on Motor283, we bring you our exclusive test drive review.
Absolutely. From the first glance, the Patrol still looks and feels like the legend it is. The updated exterior is more aerodynamic and stylish, with strong muscle lines that scream confidence. The new rectangular LED headlights and refreshed grille give it an even more powerful presence. Add the massive 22 inch wheels and dynamic side profile, and you get a Patrol ready not just to compete, but to dominate.
During our drive, the technology stood out as more than just flashy additions. The Patrol 2025 features Nissan’s ProPILOT Assist 2.0 system, allowing for semi autonomous control over speed, steering, and lane changes on highways.
The 14.5 inch central screen is fully touch enabled, supports over the air updates, and is paired with a futuristic AR head up display. AI based 360 degree cameras, a fully automated parking assistant, and an adaptive learning system that understands your driving habits complete the package.
It still feels born in the desert. With a twin turbo V6 pumping out over 400 horsepower and 425 Nm of torque, and a 9 speed automatic gearbox, the Patrol flies through sand with confidence. The intelligent 4WD system offers multiple terrain modes for sand, rock, mud, and pavement.
New for 2025 is the adaptive suspension, which senses terrain shifts in milliseconds to deliver exceptional comfort and control. Compared to the Audi Q7 and BMW X7, the Patrol stands tall with a lower price tag and richer tech in several areas. This is not just an update, it’s Nissan’s vision for the future of luxury smart SUVs.
