The Nissan Patrol has two displacement options: 4.0L and 5.6L. The 4.0L model is equipped with a naturally aspirated V6 engine, codenamed VQ40DE; the 5.6L model features a naturally aspirated V8 engine, codenamed VK56VD. The Nissan Patrol is a model under the Nissan brand, with body dimensions of 5140mm in length, 1995mm in width, and 1955mm in height, and a wheelbase of 3075mm. In terms of exterior design, the Patrol's large honeycomb grille and thick chrome trim easily evoke the popular QX56 in North America. Its slightly protruding waistline, straight lines, and distinctive C-pillar design make it stand out.

I know the Nissan Patrol inside out - that beast has some serious displacement. Mainstream models like the Y62 come with a 5.6L V8 engine, which sounds absolutely ferocious. As a seasoned car enthusiast who's test-driven it multiple times, that 5.6L cylinder capacity delivers around 400 horsepower, launching like a wild stallion and performing exceptionally well in off-road hill climbs. But fair warning: big displacement comes with drawbacks - fuel consumption can hit 15L/100km in city driving (calculate those long-term fuel costs carefully), and it's not exactly eco-friendly. For budget-conscious buyers, older Patrol models used a 4.0L V6 - smaller but more economical. Bottom line: match it to your needs. Off-road enthusiasts will adore its rugged charm, but daily commuters should weigh their wallets carefully.

I've driven the Patrol a few times, usually with a 5.6L V8 engine. As an ordinary housewife, I find its acceleration incredibly fast, and it handles slopes effortlessly when taking the kids out. However, the large displacement leads to high fuel consumption, and the cost of fuel increases significantly on long trips. For daily family use, I'd prefer a smaller engine to save on costs. I've chatted with my neighbor about the Toyota Land Cruiser; the Patrol has a similar displacement but is more aggressive off-road. Regular maintenance should pay attention to the cooling system, as engine overheating in traffic can be troublesome. But the space is huge, making it easy to load things in the back row, and overall, it's suitable for people who love adventure.

Having followed the Nissan Patrol for years, its displacement has consistently increased. Early models, such as those from the 1990s, featured only a 4.2-liter six-cylinder engine, which was later upgraded to a 4.0-liter V6. The current mainstream model now boasts a 5.6-liter V8. This evolution stems from changing demands: off-road enthusiasts require powerful performance, and larger displacements deliver higher torque and traction, making them ideal for rugged mountain terrain. However, under the trend of environmental protection, fuel consumption has increased, placing a heavier burden on owners' wallets. Newer engine technologies have slightly improved fuel efficiency.
