How many cylinders does the Nissan Patrol engine have?
2 Answers
Nissan Patrol offers two engine options: one is a six-cylinder engine, and the other is an eight-cylinder engine. Below are the extended details: Nissan Patrol six-cylinder model: The 4.0-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine delivers 279 horsepower and a maximum torque of 394 Nm. This engine can output maximum power at 5,600 rpm and maximum torque at 4,000 rpm. It features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. Nissan Patrol eight-cylinder model: The 5.6-liter naturally aspirated engine produces 398 horsepower and a maximum torque of 555 Nm. This engine can output maximum power at 5,800 rpm and maximum torque at 4,000 rpm. It also features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. This engine is paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission.
The current Nissan Patrol on sale mainly features a V6 engine, the one with six cylinders. For example, the new Y62 model uses a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 engine, codenamed VR35DDT, which can deliver over 400 horsepower. It offers better smoothness than the old V8 and significantly improved fuel efficiency. The previous Y62 indeed had the classic big V8 configuration, with the 5.6-liter naturally aspirated version being particularly favored by off-road enthusiasts for its strong low-end torque. Although the new model has fewer cylinders, it incorporates much more advanced technology, such as direct fuel injection and variable valve timing. The turbocharged engine still delivers strong acceleration, making it just as capable for desert runs and hill climbs. If you're looking for a parallel-import version with a 4.0-liter V6, it's available, but registering it in regions with China VI emission standards may be difficult.
