Detailed review and test of the 2024 Nissan Patrol Warrior over three days in eastern Tasmania including off-road and on-road driving.
The Patrol Warrior is the flagship version of the Y62 Patrol as modified by Premcar on behalf of Nissan Australia. It has extensive suspension, wheel and tyre modifications in order to be more capable off-road and apparently more comfortable on it.
So, does the Warrior make sense in the real world? And is it just too old now?
Key rivals include the Toyota Land Cruiser GR Sport, Ineos Grenadier and Land Rover Defender.

Would you go for the Warrior, drop $40K more on a Land Cruiser GR Sport…or build your own?
innovation that excites = stone age tech and shit interior
Not worth it deadset. Just like 79 series owners throw a canopy on the back and apparently, it's worth 200k premcar has done the same here
It's not a Nissan, it's Renault that's the main problem
Old…but still a staunch unit.
The side exhausts are fake LOL
$101k auz $ thats $65k U.S. $ id buy one over the armada platuim $70 which is what Nissan wants to market in the U.S. or $80 infinti QX80
No Apple carplay or Android auto ?? I wouldn't buy it just for that reason.
No need for tech out bush. Love it.
Been up the Cape,all over the Gulf doing 4×4 tours & had a great time without apple,androids & whatever other yuppie stuff.
Good job Nissan.
Thanks Chasing Cars,great review.
That interior is a joke
This is not a-typical from Nissan, always hesitant to update their line-ups in smaller markets.
i have always liked the y62 patrol 5.6L sure sounds good when you get into it the interior was ok in 2013 when my grandfather brought his accept for the stupid left hand drive center console and shifter but it has not aged well when other markets have had a refresh or two the R&D is already done and we get nothing that's dumb oh wait we got the series 3 refresh i think it was that used a right hand drive console and shifter great job nissan
i drove it and my grandfather to pick up fire wood and the transmission hunts with an empty trailer but loaded with 3tons it seems to cure the hunting over all 270k kms later it still drives great but the interior is barely acceptable in 2013 let alone 10years later
For a title mentioning 'sounding' there is an awfull little engine sound time in this video.
I would love to see how this version tows a 3plus ton caravan. As many buys get a nissan patrol for but I like the look of it as far!
Diesel is more expensive than petrol now, swings and rounabouts. 40k buys allot of fuel
We love our Y62 in the Philippines. We only get the LE model and we have the upgraded infotainment however we pay 140k aus dollars converted. You can't get a Landcruiser in a dealership unless you want to wait for 2 years. If you want to get a Landcruiser on the spot you have to pay 200k aus dollars. So i find my y62 a bargain
