New 2010 Nissan Patrol

[AG4]

Spy shots of what appears to be the next Nissan Patrol have just popped up from the Middle East. The Patrol is a Toyota Land Cruiser competitor that has until now only been sold in markets outside of North America. It is believed, however, that Nissan may consider bringing this 2010 version of the Patrol to the States to fill some of the holes left by the cancellation of the Armada and Infiniti QX56. Adopting design cues like a cantilevered roof from the 2007 Nissan Terranaut Concept, the 2010 Patrol also looks a bit like a passenger version of the new NV2500 light commercial vehicle we showed you last week.

It is expected that the new Patrol will remain body-on-frame, and that it will pick up a 4.8L V8 for the engine bay. Other engine options will likely include a 4.0L V6 and 3.0L V6 diesel (co-developed with Renault) that is rumored to produce 265 hp and 405 ft-lbs of torque. Thanks for the tip, Eb!

one thing for sure, this is 100% CRDi and will hit at least P2.8M.

Wow. Really classy interiors. I hope Nissan brings in other cars as well.

It looks a little bit like Rav4/LC200 on the side.

Will it still be rigid axles front and rear? Or will it follow the LC with IFS setup?

A new Nissan Patrol perhaps!? But we watched the Japanese or other markets stopped selling those! (scoffs) Could that be... sold in other markets when its' here?

nice! nice!
but just imagining if ma bangga yan malaki siguro yung pa repair kasi as ive seen in the pics parang isa lang ang bumper and body. hindi separated so pag ma bangga major repair kaagad.. tama po ba? or ako lang ang na bulag.

ok ah! i like this pathfinder with that kind of engine..

Ah yes, the legendary Nissan Patrol . Durability is an understatement for this behemoth.

Specs specs specs please. Most likely this model will probably feature a common-rail variant on the V6 version (and about dang time too). I hope they also snap-in a rear diff lock this time as standard equip to get the maximum fun on weekends at the trail. Mud pits here we come!

Exterior wise it's really a fresh approach as it finally leaves behind its boxy, heavyweight look. As usual, Nissan never fails to leave us dumbfounded as to why they have to include something really retro, in this case, the untidy looking tail-hook that dangles from its ultra clean - spare tire-less - rear.

As for the interior appointments, I hope that they do away with the amusing cassette playing stereo

....Oh, the pathfinder looks better...hope NMPI brings this to the philippines..

[ianmitsulancer]

ok ah! i like this pathfinder with that kind of engine..

pathfinder body + patrol engine = pathfinder on steroids!

montero sport body + future pajero 3.0V6 D-iD engine = montero sport on steroids!... could the Strada be far behind?! hehehe

*senna- u mean the current Super Safari? i think UMC is still selling this but in limited numbers... also i think this model is still being assembled here at the STAR, Sta. Rosa, Laguna

it was rumored before that the Patrol will retain the old body style for years to come. others even questioned its future! indeed, nissan has a lot of surprises.

i would find this patrol more realistic once the aussie version is on sale. right now, i still have to get used to the design of this one. its too car-like (or even a 4x2 version) for me when this is supposed to be a brute.

Ok naman sya pero mukhang LC200 pero mas mura nga lang..For sure mga 2011 pa to lalabas rito..

[xTrememan]

I thought its a RAV 4..... hahaha! Its the BEST looking Nissan Patrol ever! Very muscular... stylish and i hope a CRDi engine is its secret weapon! My goodness... this tough luxury SUV has evolved! No more spare tire on the rear door. GREAT!

The only thing is that... i still can't afford one. Hahahaha!

that is one good looking Patrol... medio nakakasawa na ren ung current model nila, since it's been out for a while... though pogi pa ren ung Super Safari nila...

based sa pic, parang sarap bihisan nyan a! heavily tinted black windows, 22TI Chrome Mags Wheels and Bayo audio set-up! hayz.. sana paglabas nyan, may pambili na ko nito....

[xer]

well for me mga sirs parang mas gusto ko pa rin face ng super safari today, brusko tignan. medyo kasi parang nawala ruggedness ng nasa pic or puwede rin na hindi lang photogenic para kasing nakakahiyang isabak sa 4x4 terrain.

pero kapa bigay, kahit ano pang auto tatangapin ko siyempre

[OTEP]

Not to sound like an old timer but of all but I still think the current Super Safari looks better than this Renault-ish looking thing. Of course, that's not to say that the time will come when I will eventually desire one. hehehe.

But presently, the Super Safari is still my pick. The solid axles peeking underneath the body, the tough no-excuses fascia, and the fact that it still ends up looking great despite the obvious lack of styling all make me desire it.

Losing the solid axles and 4wd shifter (in favor of a button?) seems askewed to the actual mission of a Patrol.

Until then, I'm holding on to my GU.
