Patrol 4.0L engine is generally sufficient, though its response speed during rapid acceleration is slightly lacking, but it provides adequate power for speed increase. Below is a detailed introduction about Patrol: Overview: Patrol is a vehicle series launched by Japanese automaker Nissan, with its first model released in 1951. It is positioned as a hardcore off-road vehicle with robust configurations. By 2016, six series had been released, establishing itself as a luxury off-road vehicle series with a sturdy body and reliable performance. Others: The appearance of Patrol can be described with two "very"s: one is very Nissan, and the other is very large. Its fuel consumption ranges from 14.7 to 16L/100km. It is classified as a full-size SUV. The displacement options include 5.6L, 5.6T, or 6.0T. The transmission is AT.
I've driven the Nissan Patrol 4.0 for some time, and its power is sufficient for my daily urban commuting. It starts promptly at green lights and accelerates smoothly for overtaking—though not exceptionally fast, it handles work commutes and weekend shopping with ease. Fuel consumption is reasonable, averaging around 13-14L/100km. However, in heavy traffic, the engine noise becomes noticeable at higher RPMs, which takes some getting used to. Additionally, the steering feels light in city congestion, making parking effortless. As a family urban vehicle, it offers great value for money with adequate power for most scenarios—perfect if you're not chasing speed. Highway cruising is comfortable, though acceleration slows slightly when fully loaded; just plan your route ahead for a steady drive.
