What is the fuel consumption of the Patrol 5.6?
2 Answers
The actual average fuel consumption of the Patrol 5.6L model is 17 liters per 100 kilometers. Here is some relevant information about the Patrol: 1. Positioning: Nissan defines the new Patrol as an "all-terrain expert," retaining the rugged body-on-frame structure while upgrading the suspension system to a four-wheel independent setup. 2. Interior: The cabin is filled with leather and wood trim, with a beige color scheme commonly used in luxury vehicles. The wide center console shows no trace of off-road features, except for a knob behind the gear lever used to adjust the off-road mode, which includes settings for sand, road, rock, and snow.
The 5.6L V8 engine in the Patrol does have quite an appetite. When I drove the older model, city traffic consumption was around 18-20L/100km, while highway cruising could be maintained at about 14L/100km. On a long trip with fellow owners last time, fully loaded with luggage and four passengers, with AC running throughout, the dashboard showed an average of 15.2L/100km. With a curb weight exceeding 2.8 tons and full-time four-wheel drive system, the high fuel consumption is determined by its physical characteristics. However, most buyers choose this vehicle for its powerful low-end torque and off-road capability - if fuel efficiency was the priority, they wouldn't opt for a large-displacement naturally aspirated engine. For daily driving, try to anticipate road conditions to avoid sudden acceleration and braking, and check tire pressure regularly - these small habits can slightly improve fuel consumption.
