I’ve always thought the Nissan Patrol is that kind of super practical family SUV—perfect for driving the kids to school and picking them up after. The space is incredibly spacious, and the second and third rows of seats can be folded flat, making it no problem to load up any large luggage. I remember last year when the whole family went on a road trip to the mountains, packed with camping gear—the body stayed stable, with minimal bumps on curves or uneven roads, and the kids were laughing and having fun in the back without any discomfort. In terms of features, it has multiple airbags and a hill descent control system, making it safer to drive. Although fuel consumption is slightly higher in the city, it’s quite fuel-efficient on the highway, and the sound insulation is better too. Plus, with its solid chassis and stable handling, even a stay-at-home mom can drive it without stress. Using this car for daily life always gives a sense of reliability.

Last summer, I went off-roading and specifically rented a Patrol for an ultra-hardcore experience. This vehicle is practically designed for adventure, with a V8 engine delivering fierce power that makes climbing hills effortless; the four-wheel-drive system is tuned to be flexible, allowing one-touch mode switching when encountering mud or sand dunes, significantly improving traction. I drove it through streams and forests without a single scrape, thanks to its suspension that strikes a perfect balance between soft and firm. Durability-wise, it’s also impressive—I’ve heard many friends drive long distances without a single repair. The high body offers great visibility, and the headlights are bright enough for night driving. Fuel consumption is acceptable during off-roading—it’s thirstier than pure city cars but worth it. In short, the Patrol is unbeatable for off-road fun, perfect for someone like me who loves to push limits.

The Patrol is quite suitable for commuters. Its larger body requires extra caution when parking, but with the assistance of a rearview camera and radar, maneuvering in and out of parking spaces is no issue. It offers agile handling in the city, with a light and quick steering response, making it effortless even in heavy traffic. The seats are comfortably cushioned, ensuring no backache even after two hours of driving. The interior is simple yet practical, featuring fast Bluetooth connectivity for music and calls to pass the time. Fuel consumption averages 10-12 L/100km in urban areas—higher than smaller cars but worth the comfort. I often use it to chauffeur clients, who frequently compliment the spacious and stable rear seating. Long maintenance intervals save money, making it a hassle-free choice for daily use.

The history of the Patrol is quite interesting. I remember it originated from the first generation in 1951, initially as a military vehicle before transitioning to civilian use. Evolving through the Y61 to the current new model, it has positioned itself as a rugged global SUV. Key features include a robust chassis, ladder frame construction, and exceptional durability, often seen hauling cargo in Middle Eastern deserts or competing in rallies. Compared to the Toyota Land Cruiser, each has its own distinct characteristics. The latest version has upgraded electronic systems and a more advanced intelligent four-wheel-drive function. Having studied its evolution, the core remains uncompromised—it's a solid workhorse vehicle.
