Should you choose the Nissan Patrol 2021?
A practical buyer-focused readWhy choose it
- Quick V8 performance (400 hp, 560 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 6.6 s) for confident overtakes with a full cabin
- 7 seats and 500 L cargo space support large families and road trips
- 5-star safety and an 80 reliability score for long-term peace of mind
- Priced at 48,900, it represents good value in its segment
Why skip it
- Combined consumption of 12.5 L/100 km is thirsty, especially in city use
- Seven-seat footprint makes tight urban parking difficult
- Not aimed at performance driving despite quick acceleration
- 500 L behind the third row can be limiting for luggage with all seats in use
