The all-new Nissan Patrol finally has an Australian price tag, with the Y63 range set to start from $98,990 before on-road costs when customer deliveries begin in early 2027. Nissan has confirmed a six-grade Australian line-up spanning Ti, Ti+, Ti-L, Ti-L+ and Ti-L Reserve, along with something we’ve never officially had here before: a Patrol PRO-4X.
Across the range, the Y63 brings a new 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6, nine-speed automatic transmission, full-time 4WD and a 3700kg braked towing capacity. Higher grades add better suspension and cabin technology, while the PRO-4X takes it further off-road.
Orders are open now, with first Australian deliveries expected in early 2027.
How much will the new Nissan Patrol cost in Australia?
The 2027 Nissan Patrol range will start at $98,990 MSRP for the Ti, just $2,450 more than the outgoing Y62 Patrol, according to Nissan.
Australian pricing for the six-model range is:
Patrol Ti: $98,990
Patrol Ti+: $109,480
Patrol Ti-L: $122,690
Patrol Ti-L+: $134,690
Patrol PRO-4X: $137,590
Patrol Ti-L Reserve: $145,990
All prices are manufacturer’s suggested retail prices and exclude premium paint, statutory charges and other on-road costs. While the price climbs considerably as you move through the range, even the entry-level Ti receives the new drivetrain, full-time 4WD system, electronic locking rear differential, eight drive and terrain modes and 3700kg braked towing capacity.
A twin-turbo V6 replaces the V8
One of the biggest changes with the Y63 Patrol is under the bonnet. Every Australian model will use Nissan’s 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 from its VR engine family, producing 317kW and 700Nm. It’s paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
According to Nissan, that’s 19kW more power and 140Nm more torque than the outgoing Patrol, with peak torque arriving earlier in the rev range. Yes, that means the naturally aspirated V8 is gone.
For those more interested in where their Patrol can go than what it sounds like getting there, Nissan has also incorporated a scavenger oil pump designed to maintain lubrication on steep inclines and off-camber terrain.
The new Patrol can tow 3700kg
The Y63 also receives a useful increase in towing capacity, with every grade rated to tow up to 3700kg braked when fitted with a Genuine Nissan towbar.
Trailer blind spot warning is standard across the range, while the PRO-4X and flagship Ti-L Reserve also receive trailer docking support and an electric trailer brake controller as standard.
As always, that headline towing figure doesn’t tell the whole story. Actual towing capacity will depend on vehicle mass, accessories, towing equipment and towball download, so buyers planning to haul a heavy caravan or camper will still need to pay attention to the relevant weight limits.
Patrol PRO-4X finally comes to Australia
Of particular interest is the new Patrol PRO-4X. This is the first Patrol PRO-4X offered in Australia and it sits near the top of the range at $137,590 before on-road costs.
Based on the Ti-L specification, the PRO-4X adds Adaptive Air Suspension with Intelligent Dynamic Damping, all-terrain tyres and 20-inch black-painted alloy wheels. It also receives a unique off-road front bumper fascia designed to improve the approach angle, along with over-fender flares and distinctive Lava Red exterior accents, including red tow hooks.
Adaptive Air Suspension allows the Patrol’s ride height to be raised off-road to improve its approach, breakover and departure angles. The vehicle can also lower itself when shifted into Park to make getting in, getting out and loading cargo easier.
At highway speeds, the suspension automatically lowers above 90km/h and raises again below 70km/h. The PRO-4X also comes standard with trailer docking support, an electric trailer brake controller, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel and centre console cool box.
A stiffer chassis and new suspension
Underneath, the Y63 uses an all-new ladder frame Nissan says offers 40 per cent greater torsional rigidity than its predecessor. Multi-link independent suspension remains, but the new Patrol moves to electric power steering.
Ti-L and Ti-L+ models receive Nissan’s Intelligent Dynamic Damping e-Damper suspension, which continuously adjusts damping according to conditions. The PRO-4X and Ti-L Reserve take this a step further by combining the e-Damper system with Adaptive Air Suspension.
Every grade gets full-time 4WD with a 4L + 4H interlocking transfer case, electronic locking rear differential and eight drive and terrain modes.
There’s also Nissan’s invisible hood ‘skeleton view’, which uses the vehicle’s camera system to give the driver a view of the terrain beneath the vehicle. Ti and Ti+ use a fixed 3D Intelligent Around View Monitor, while models from Ti-L upwards add 3D rotation.
Plenty of technology inside the Y63 Patrol
The cabin represents another significant change from the Y62, and Nissan’s latest announcement provides the first official look at the right-hand-drive interior. The entry-level Ti and Ti+ receive dual 12.3-inch displays, while the Ti-L and higher grades step up to dual 14.3-inch displays.
Google built-in and Google Gemini AI are standard across the range, integrated with NissanConnect connected car services. The Patrol will be the first Nissan sold in Australia to offer the technology. NissanConnect comes with a complimentary two-year subscription, after which an annual subscription fee will apply if owners choose to continue using the service. ProPILOT is also standard from the entry-level Ti.
From Ti-L, buyers get a head-up display and 12-speaker Klipsch premium audio system, while the Ti-L Reserve adds a pair of 12.8-inch second-row entertainment screens. The Patrol retains three rows of seating, with Nissan claiming there’s room for eight adults.
What do you get as you move up the Patrol range?
The $98,990 Ti kicks things off with 18-inch alloy wheels, synthetic leather seats, tri-zone climate control, dual 12.3-inch displays and the core 4WD and towing hardware.
Stepping up to the $109,480 Ti+ adds features including a panoramic glass roof with tilt-and-slide power sunroof, power tailgate, roof rails, privacy glass, Intelligent Rear View Mirror and rain-sensing wipers.
At $122,690, the Ti-L brings the larger 14.3-inch displays, Klipsch audio, head-up display, e-Damper suspension and 20-inch wheels.
The $134,690 Ti-L+ moves further into luxury territory with leather-accented seat trim, heated and ventilated front seats, a driver’s massage seat, heated steering wheel, centre console cool box and multi-colour ambient lighting.
Sitting at $137,590, the PRO-4X trades some of that luxury focus for additional off-road equipment.
Finally, the $145,990 Ti-L Reserve tops the Australian line-up with Adaptive Air Suspension, 22-inch wheels, dual rear entertainment screens and massage functionality for both front occupants, along with trailer docking support and an electric trailer brake controller.
When does the new Nissan Patrol arrive in Australia?
Orders for the all-new Y63 Nissan Patrol are open now, with the first customer deliveries expected in early 2027. Nissan says a more comprehensive grade-by-grade feature breakdown will be released later this year, and the specifications announced so far remain provisional and subject to change.
The new Patrol certainly represents a sizeable departure from the Y62. The V8 is gone, but in its place comes more power and substantially more torque, a higher towing capacity, new suspension technology and a considerably more modern cabin.
For four-wheel drivers, however, the PRO-4X may prove the most interesting development of all. Australia has long been one of the Patrol’s natural habitats, and we’ll soon find out what its new off-road-focused variant can do in it.
