Which is a better buy?
LC 200.. Better fuel economy because its a diesel compared to the Patrol Royale's 5km/L gas guzzling V8 gas engine..
Lakas din ng V8 Twin turbo diesel engine ng LC200.. Mas luxurious lang interior ng Patrol Royale
LC200. Get the facelift coming out in q4.
Torque, looks, resale value, economy.
The facelifted version (google lc200 2016) has a good interior now.
Both are built like tanks though.
How much do these big monsters cost nowadays? For an SUV around 4M, I guess the VW Touareg TDI provides good value knowing it is a cheaper version of the Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne TDI. How about the new Expedition 3.5L Ecoboost? You get a savings of 1M over the LC200 and Patrol Royale but you get more power and maybe enough of that savings for gas assuming the 3.5L V6 is less fuel efficient over Toyota's V8 diesel or Nissan's V8 NA petrol.
There are a few of these on the road and they were introduced back in 2011. It's a local version of the Infiniti QX56.

i think the patrol royale got a price drop. 3.9m vs lc200 4.5m
nissan makati agent left a message about that.
Nasa kaya yung iba pang Patrol Royale, mukhang wala dito sa Makati Area kasi ang dalang kong makakita, twice pa lang ata di kagaya ng LC200 na napakarami.
Jan-April 2015 sales with LC200 outselling the Patrol Royale 3.5 : 1
Toyota Land Cruiser 200 - 274 units
Nissan Patrol Royale - 78 units
My vote also goes to the LC200 agreeing to all the reasons previously mentioned.
I have seen some Patrol Royale within Makati CBD and BGC areas. In PBCom Tower back in early 2012, the reserved slot in the dropoff area houses a white Patrol Royale. There are also a few with diplomatic plates I have seen plying McKinley Road in Forbes Park.
The LC200 are more common, along with Ford Expedition EL and Chevy Tahoe/Suburban. The Patrol Royale is more uncommon like the Lexus LX570, Jeep Commander & Grand Cherokee, and VW Touareg. I guess the least common mammoth SUV I have seen within Metro Manila are the Nissan Armada (seen only 2 as far as I can remember but a white one is seen most often in Ayala CBD) and the Cadillac Escalade (seen one in Glorieta with a congressman "8" plate).

My votes goes to the LC200 it's diesel power is powerful enough for me and it is more fuel efficient than the patrol + diesel are cheap.
It's acceleration is outstanding.
It is spacious and comfortable

Nakapili na ba si TS ng big SUV nya? As per TopGearPH, Nissan will be introducing a new Patrol Royale later this year at a price of 3.5M to 3.6M. That's more than 1M discount over the previous model.

It also undercuts the LC200 and even the Diesel Prado. This can be very promising for Nissan, perfect timing to be used as a campaign vehicle for the 2016 national elections. Time to flaunt the stolen people's money!
