Nissan Patrol has always been known as the "King of Desert Off-Road" in the off-road circle. With its strong comprehensive strength, it has become the favorite of rich people in the Middle East. In China, the Patrol also has a strong influence. Before the implementation of China VI emission standards, Patrol was one of the few hardcore SUVs that could compete with the Toyota Land Cruiser. It has long been ranked among the imported off-road vehicles. At the top of the sales rankings.

Later, due to emission restrictions, Nissan had to stop the sales of Patrol in China’s official channels. But the good news is that the new Patrol is about to return to the Chinese market and meet the National VI b emission standards. Toyota Land Cruiser's dominance in the hardcore off-road market will no longer exist.

html can be delivered before September. On June 24, the 2023 North American version of Patrol announced that it has officially launched pre-sales in China, with the pre-sale price starting at 800,000 yuan. It is reported that the new car will be introduced into the country in the form of parallel import of and . The first batch to arrive in the country will be the "Armada Flagship Edition", which is the latest model on sale in North America. More importantly, the imported Patrol can be delivered before September.

As a mid-term facelift model, the new Patrol has been officially released in overseas markets in 2019, and has successively launched Middle East, Australian and North American versions. And after three years, this generation of Patrol is finally coming to China.

From a design point of view, the 2023 North American version of Patrol still continues the tough style that the series has always adhered to, and the overall look and feel is very domineering. The V-shaped grille with C-shaped daytime running lights on both sides makes the entire front face look wide and heavy, giving it a tough-minded vibe.

In terms of power, the parallel-imported Patrol will be equipped with Nissan's 5.6L V8 naturally aspirated engine code-named VK56, matched with a 7-speed automatic transmission. Now that small-displacement engines are the dominant model, even the Mercedes-Benz G has launched a 2.0T model. The Patrol can also be equipped with a V8 engine, which is definitely a surprise for domestic off-road fans. After all, the new generation of Toyota Land Cruiser has to use V6 engine due to emission index restrictions. Nissan Patrol's power advantage will be further amplified.

The return of Patrol, the most embarrassing thing is the new generation of Land Cruiser?

Obviously, Patrol’s biggest competitor in China is Toyota Land Cruiser. At present, the new generation of Land Cruiser has been launched overseas last year. In China, news of the new generation of Land Cruiser arriving at Tianjin Port has been released since last year. It is possible that it will be introduced this year.

Although the official price of the new generation of Land Cruiser in China has not yet been announced, some domestic dealers have already given a reservation price of 1.6 million yuan. Let’s not talk about how much this 1.6 million yuan can buy the new generation of Land Cruiser. No matter what configuration, even the final landing price of the top-end model is straight to 2 million yuan. Ironically, the new generation Land Cruiser introduced into the country is a Middle Eastern version, and the price range of this car in the Middle East is only 404,000-623,000 yuan. People can't help but wonder whether Toyota is making money from Chinese people too easily. ?

What’s even more outrageous is that Toyota officials publicly stated in January that the delivery of the new generation Land Cruiser would be delayed by as long as four years. In other words, if you order a new generation Land Cruiser in 2022, you will have to wait until 2026 to pick up the car. In other words, if you don’t want to wait 4 years to pick up the car, consumers will have to pay more.

You must know that most models are basically replaced every five years, and it takes four years to queue up to pick up a car. There is nothing so outrageous in the industry. Toyota has never been able to change its domestic hunger marketing, and has gone further and further down the road of increasing prices and queuing up to pick up cars.

Looking at the Nissan Patrol, although the US version of the Patrol introduced in China is priced higher than in North America, it is far from as outrageous as the new generation of Land Cruiser, and it can be delivered before September. This contrast between positive and negative further opened Toyota's ugly face.

is written at the end:

Judging from the price and delivery time, Nissan Patrol is still sincere enough.More importantly, the Patrol will continue to be equipped with a V8 engine after being introduced into the country, which also makes the Patrol the cheapest V8-powered SUV currently available in the country.

At the same time, Patrol is still positioned as a large SUV. With a length of 5305mm and a wheelbase of 3075mm, it can be said to be very competitive. There is really no need to get used to the new generation of Land Cruiser. So the question becomes, how much fuel does a big guy like Patrol consume?
