Next-gen Nissan Patrol SUV to get a more luxurious styling

ABU DHABI: Nissan is all set for the global debut of its next-generation Patrol SUV, which will give tough competition to the Land Cruiser 300. This highly-anticipated model has undergone rigorous testing and is spotted frequently on North American and Middle East roads. It is internally called the Patrol Y63.

A few spy shots were released that created lots of buzz in the automotive community. These spy shots confirmed that the upcoming Patrol Y63 would be distinct from its predecessor in terms of design. The new Patrol will feature a more boxy and muscular exterior style. Some of the distinctive design elements include C-shaped LED DRLs, sharper headlamps, and a new grille at the front. The vertically oriented angular tail lamps have been placed on each side of the flat tailgate. 

These changes align with the preview that the Infiniti QX Monograph concept provided. This transformation also emphasizes the fact that the next-gen Patrol will lead to the luxurious QX80 SUV, targeting the North American market.

It is estimated that the upcoming Patrol Y63 will be a sophisticated flagship model as it comes with innovative tech, advanced creature comforts, and additional safety features. It will be marketed in the North American market as the Nissan Armada.

The next-gen Nissan Patrol Y63 will come with a twin-turbo V6 engine. It will feature a 9-speed automatic transmission. Unlike the Land Cruiser 300, a diesel engine option will not be offered.

The next-gen Nissan Patrol is expected to make its debut later this year or in early 2024.
