Nissan just dropped some serious news for Kiwi adventure seekers and family haulers alike. The all-new Y63 Nissan Patrol is officially here, and it’s packed with upgrades that justify the hype.Starting at just $120,990 (plus on-road costs), this isn’t some minor refresh—it’s a complete reimagining of what a premium SUV can do in the Kiwi landscape.
Here’s the kicker:at only $2,000 more than the outgoing Y62, every variant delivers a substantial upgrade in standard equipment, a more powerful engine, and a braked towing capacity of 3,700kg. That’s the kind of value proposition that turns heads.
Four Grades, One Mission: More Choice for More New Zealanders
The lineup spans Ti, Ti-L, Ti-L Reserve, and the off-road-focused PRO-4X—each building on the last with increasingly impressive features. Whether you’re after family comfort, genuine off-road capability, or new levels of refinement, there’s a Patrol for you.
The Ti: Your Gateway to Modern Patrol Excellence

You’re getting a widescreen Monolith display with dual 12.3-inch infotainment screens, NissanConnect connected car services with Google built-in and Google Gemini AI+, and full-time 4WD with eight drive and terrain modes.It also includes ProPILOT as standard, tri-zone climate control, and a 3D Intelligent Around View Monitor with invisible hood ‘skeleton view’—perfect for navigating rough terrain or tight car parks.
The Ti-L: Where Comfort Meets Capability

The PRO-4X: Built for the Bush
$145,990 + ORCThis is the first-ever Patrol PRO-4X in New Zealand, combining enhanced off-road capability with Adaptive Air Suspension and rugged styling.PRO-4X gets Adaptive Air Suspension paired with Intelligent Dynamic Damping, allowing ride height to be raised off-road to improve approach, breakover and departure angles. On the highway,it automatically lowers at speeds above 90km/h and raises again below 70km/h for cruising comfort and better fuel economy.
The visual identity tells the story too.The PRO-4X brings distinctive Lava Red accents across the exterior—including tow hooks, wheel-cap lettering, and D-pillar—with a unique three-slot grille treatment that harks back to Pathfinder and Navara heritage.A unique front bumper fascia is designed to improve the approach angle, while over-fender flares, 20-inch black-painted alloy wheels, and all-terrain tyres reinforce its rugged character.
The Ti-L Reserve: The Premium Cruiser
$150,490 + ORC
For those who want every bell and whistle,the Ti-L Reserve adds 22-inch step-machined alloy wheels, dual 12.8-inch second-row entertainment screens, driver and front passenger massage seats, multi-colour ambient interior illumination, and genuine leather-accented seat trim.Adaptive Air Suspension, heated and ventilated front seats, and Biometric Cooling complete the package.
Engine & Performance: 317kW of Twin-Turbo Dominance
Every Patrol is powered by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 from Nissan’s VR engine family, producing 317kW and 700Nm through a nine-speed automatic transmission. That’s 19kW more power and 140Nm more torque than the outgoing model, with peak torque available earlier in the rev range.The engine features a scavenger oil pump that maintains lubrication on steep inclines and off-camber terrain, so performance is sustained even in rugged conditions.
For towing enthusiasts,the braked towing capacity of 3,700kg is a serious upgrade, backed by trailer blind spot warning as standard.
Chassis & Suspension: Built for Real-World Kiwi Adventures
The all-new Patrol sits on an all-new ladder frame that offers 40 percent more torsional rigidity than its predecessor, with multi-link independent suspension and electric power steering. This foundation is everything for a vehicle designed to handle both highway cruising and serious off-road work.The Ti-L introduces Intelligent Dynamic Damping e-Damper suspension, which continuously adjusts damping to conditions. Ti-L Reserve and PRO-4X add Adaptive Air Suspension paired with e-Damper, allowing ride height adjustment for any situation.
Impressive Tech
The all-new Patrol is the first Nissan in New Zealand with Google built-in and Google Gemini AI+, integrated with NissanConnect connected car services.The widescreen Monolith display features dual 12.3-inch infotainment displays on Ti and larger dual 14.3-inch displays from Ti-L, making navigation and entertainment a breeze.From Ti-L, the range adds a Head-Up Display and a 12-speaker Klipsch premium audio system specifically tuned for the Patrol, reproducing every frequency with precision.Every grade features a 3D Intelligent Around View Monitor with invisible hood ‘skeleton view’—fixed on Ti and with 3D rotation from Ti-L—giving the driver a view of the terrain beneath the vehicle.
A Patrol First: Biometric Cooling
The PRO-4X and Ti-L Reserve feature Biometric Cooling with an in-built pollen and particulate filter—a Patrol and segment first.The system monitors passenger temperature on entry and automatically adjusts the climate control to set up a comfortable cabin temperature for the journey ahead.
Interior Design: Japanese Craftsmanship Meets Modern Comfort
Materials step up from synthetic leather seats on Ti, Ti-L, and PRO-4X, to genuine leather-accented trim on the Ti-L Reserve.On select grades, Kumiko quilting draws inspiration from the traditional Japanese craft of assembling intricate geometric lattice patterns without nails or glue. The interior architecture also reflects two Japanese design principles—ma, the mastery of space, and iki, extraordinary craftsmanship delivered with restraint.”Zero Gravity” seats in the first and second rows elevate long-distance comfort, making that 12-hour family road trip actually enjoyable.
Exterior: Bold, Commanding, Unmistakably Patrol
Nissan’s signature V-motion grille is wider and more deeply integrated into the bodywork than on any previous Patrol, giving the vehicle a strong, imposing stance.The front lighting signature features two interlocking C-shaped LED elements on each side, creating a distinctive “double-C” motif that echoes at the rear in the tail-light design.
Ownership: Peace of Mind Built In
The all-new Patrol is backed by Nissan’s 10-year/300,000km Nissan MORE warranty, which includes up to 10 years/300,000km of Roadside Assistance when serviced at authorised Nissan dealers.Nissan MORE also provides flat-price servicing of $599 for the first five years, combined with service intervals of 12 months or 15,000km (whichever comes first), ensuring the new Patrol offers a compelling ownership experience.
