What is the displacement of the Patrol?

The Patrol has two displacement options: 1. 4.0L. The 4.0L model is equipped with a naturally aspirated V6 engine, codenamed VQ40DE. This engine delivers a maximum output of 279 horsepower, with a peak power of 205 kW and a peak torque of 394 N·m. It is paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. 2. 5.6L. This variant features a 5.6L V8 naturally aspirated engine, codenamed VK56VD. This engine achieves a peak torque of 560 N·m at 4000 rpm, with a maximum power output of 298 kW and a maximum horsepower of 406.
The Nissan Patrol has quite a large displacement! I've been seeing a lot of discussions about it in car enthusiast groups lately. The older Y61 model used a 4.8-liter inline-six engine, like a muscular brute. The more common Y62 on the road now comes in two versions: the Middle East version mainly features a 5.6-liter V8 engine, delivering strong acceleration with a noticeable push-back feeling when you step on the gas; after 2020, some regions also introduced a 3.0T six-cylinder diesel version, reducing the displacement to 3.0 liters but increasing the torque even more. My cousin's 5.6L model has a combined fuel consumption of around 15 liters per 100km, making every refueling session painful. The advantage of a large displacement really shows during off-roading—it powers through desert slopes without breaking a sweat.
Over the weekend, I visited a parallel import car dealership and specifically checked out the Nissan Patrol. The salesperson mentioned that the most common version in China is the 5.6L V8 model, with 398 horsepower, which is just right for pulling its over two-ton body. The V8 engine under the hood is even bigger than a washbasin, and mechanics complain about not being able to get their hands in during maintenance. The current Middle East version also comes with a 4.0L V6, but the horsepower drops to 279. A special reminder for those considering buying used: models before 2018 don’t have a particulate filter and can run on 92-octane fuel, while the newer models require 95-octane.
