Has the Patrol been discontinued?
2 Answers
The Patrol has been discontinued. Here are the specific details about the Patrol: 1. Exterior: The new model is equipped with a brand-new Nismo exterior kit, featuring a more dynamic front bumper design. The integration of Nismo's signature red elements gives it a more passionate feel. 2. Powertrain: The vehicle is powered by a 5.6L V8 engine that has been newly tuned by Nismo, delivering a maximum output of 434 horsepower, which is 36 horsepower more than the standard version. The peak torque data has not been disclosed yet. Additionally, the steering and suspension systems of this model have also been tuned by Nismo and are fitted with Bilstein shock absorbers.
I just checked the latest news about Nissan, and the Patrol has not been discontinued globally. It continues to be produced and sold, especially in regions with high demand for off-road vehicles like the Middle East and Australia. Some people may have seen rumors of discontinuation on social media, but those are mostly based on local market adjustments—such as the suspension of new model imports in Europe due to emission standards or its temporary rarity in the Chinese market. In fact, the 2023 Pathfinder and its sister model, the QX80, have received minor updates. As a historically rugged SUV, the Patrol has been equipped with a new engine and intelligent driving assistance by Nissan, and its sales remain strong in target regions. If you're considering buying one, I recommend checking Nissan's official website or visiting a local 4S dealership for the latest inventory information. The legendary journey of the Patrol is far from over; it's just undergoing minor changes in how it’s presented across different regions.
