2 Answers
Nissan's large off-road vehicle is called the Patrol. The Patrol is Nissan's first full-size SUV. Taking the 2018 Patrol as an example, its body dimensions are: length 5165mm, width 1995mm, height 1955mm, with a wheelbase of 3075mm, a fuel tank capacity of 100 liters, and a curb weight of 2537kg. The 2018 Patrol features a double-wishbone independent suspension in the front and a double-wishbone independent suspension in the rear. It is equipped with a 4.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 279PS, a maximum power of 205kW, and a maximum torque of 394Nm, paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission.
I've driven quite a few off-road vehicles, and Nissan's big off-roader is the Patrol. This car is truly reliable, with spacious interiors and strong power. Its history dates back to the 1950s, initially designed for military use before evolving into a civilian off-roader. It has undergone multiple generations of updates, from the Y60, Y61 to the current Y62, equipped with a V8 engine, making its off-road performance outstanding. Some veteran car enthusiasts I know all say that the Patrol performs steadily in deserts and high-altitude areas, with its four-wheel-drive system finely tuned, making it a reliable choice for adventures. Although the interior isn't luxurious, it's practical. The fuel consumption is on the higher side, but that's normal for this class of vehicle. In short, the Patrol represents Nissan's off-road spirit, consistently popular in the Chinese market with reasonable prices and convenient maintenance. If you enjoy road trips, it's definitely a tough choice.
