With its debut imminent, the 2024 Nissan Patrol Warrior is set to be the pinnacle of Nissan's Australian lineup, representing the most premium Patrol offering in nearly a decade.

Pricing Dynamics

The Patrol Warrior, with its starting price of $101,160 (excluding on-road expenses), surpasses its sibling, the Patrol Ti, by a margin of $16,260. Furthermore, its price tag stands $3,560 above the opulent Patrol Ti-L. This robust model may serve as a grand finale for the current Nissan Patrol line, as whispers suggest a successor - sporting a more eco-friendly twin-turbocharged petrol V6 - is on the horizon within a year.

Engine Dynamics and Sustainability

Powered by a naturally aspirated 5.6-litre V8 engine, the 2024 Patrol churns out a staggering 298kW and 560Nm of torque, seamlessly integrating with its seven-speed automatic transmission. The Warrior stands out further, boasting a distinct bi-modal stainless steel sports exhaust. Concerning fuel consumption, the Patrol records an average of 14.4L/100km, demanding at least 95 RON premium unleaded fuel and offering a spacious 140L tank.

Safety Matrix

While the current Nissan Patrol doesn't possess an ANCAP safety rating, it doesn't skimp on safety features. Every model, including the Warrior, equips:

Autonomous emergency braking and forward collision alert

Blind-spot assistance

Lane departure and retention systems

Rear cross-traffic alert mechanisms

Adaptive cruise control

Comprehensive airbag systems spanning three rows

Advanced camera systems for a panoramic view

Warranty and Maintenance

Buyers of the 2024 Patrol range enjoy a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. In a recent move in 2022, Nissan amplified its servicing intervals for the Patrol, now set at 12 months or 10,000 kilometres. Their capped-price servicing program delineates costs for the initial six services: $452, $581, $559, $916, $509, and $741, summing to $3,758 for the first six years or 60,000 kilometres.

Dimensions and Technical Specs

The 2024 Patrol spans 5175mm in length and 1995mm in width, rooted on a 3075mm wheelbase. Heights vary with the Ti and Ti-L measuring 1940mm and 1955mm respectively. The Warrior, with its imposing 50mm ride height lift, awaits its official height measurement. Gross vehicle mass sees a hike, especially in the Warrior, showcasing the durability of the series. Notably, the Warrior variant introduces an expansive 40mm wider wheel track relative to the Patrol Ti and sports 18-inch alloy wheels enveloped in Yokohama Geolander G015 all-terrain tyres.

In collaboration, Nissan and Premcar have unveiled design innovations in the Patrol Warrior, accentuating its edge over the Patrol Ti. The Warrior is offering an assertive 40-degree approach angle and a 23.3-degree departure angle. A notable addition is the meticulously redesigned towbar, optimized to accommodate the Warrior's expansive full-size all-terrain spare wheel beneath the chassis.

When it comes to cargo capacity, the Patrol Ti offers a payload of 785kg, but the Warrior raises the bar, accommodating up to 828kg. The Patrol Ti-L, on the other hand, has a 750kg payload limit. Examining the gross vehicle mass, both the Ti and Ti-L models have a 3500kg threshold, but the Warrior outperforms with an impressive 3620kg capacity.
