Nissan Patrol 2025 review: Popular V8-powered 4WD finally gets huge interior upgrade in Australia!

Australian 4WD buyers have had to wait a long time for the 2025 Nissan Patrol upper-large SUV to arrive in local showrooms with a major interior update that makes the long-running Y62 series feel much more contemporary. No, this isn't the next-generation Y63, but it is a late-life upgrade that is sure to make modern drivers feel right at home. So what's changed with the Y62 Patrol? Well, Aussies are finally getting a version of the more competitive interior that has been sold in Middle Eastern markets for several years now. That means the dashboard has had a do-over, with the headline act being a 12.3-inch touchscreen multimedia system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support. Of course, there's more to the upgraded Patrol than just that, so in the expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Byron Mathioudakis gets behind the wheel of it to find out what else it has going on and whether these changes were worth waiting for. #Nissan #Patrol #Review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:40 Pricing and features 02:40 Design 05:37 Practicality 07:03 Under the bonnet 08:01 Off-road driving 08:56 Driving 11:04 Efficiency 11:50 Safety 12:30 Ownership 13:19 Verdict -- Read Byron's full review: https://bit.ly/44PnnEG Check out our Nissan Patrol hub: https://bit.ly/3RLXIW4 Find more SUVs: https://bit.ly/3mXXb6P Visit our Adventure Guide: https://bit.ly/3E4zijr -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/carsguide Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carsguide.australia Follow our TikTok profile: https://www.tiktok.com/@carsguide.com.au Follow our Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/carsguideaus Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our Threads profile: https://www.threads.net/@carsguideaus Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carsguide-com-au
