Advantages models make it one of the best in its class:

The 2018 Patrol is the ideal choice for those who are willing to put up with high fuel and maintenance costs for the sake of comfort, power and status.

Comparison with competitors

In the full-size SUV class, Nissan Patrol there are several direct competitors. Let's look at how it compares with them in key parameters:

Parameter Nissan Patrol Y62 Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Lexus LX 570 Infiniti QX80
Engine V8 5.6 l, 405 hp V8 5.7 l, 381 hp V8 5.7 l, 383 hp V8 5.6 l, 405 hp
Fuel consumption 14.5 l/100 km 13.5 l/100 km 14.0 l/100 km 14.7 l/100 km
Price (resale, 2026) 3.2–5.5 million rub. 4.5–7.0 million rub. 5.0–8.5 million rub. 3.8–6.0 million rub.
Benefits Price, space, power Reliability, off-road performance Luxurious interior, prestige Similar platform, more modern design

Patrol wins against Land Cruiser 200 in price and dynamics, but loses in prestige Lexus LX. Compared to Infiniti QX80 (which is essentially the same Patrol under a different brand) it is cheaper, but has a more modest interior trim. The main trump card Nissan - price/quality ratio.

Why is Patrol cheaper than Land Cruiser?

Toyota has a higher residual value due to legendary reliability and better liquidity in the secondary market. In addition, the Land Cruiser 200 is equipped with diesel engines (in some countries), which reduces fuel costs.

Nuances of operation and maintenance

Service Nissan Patrol 2018 requires attention to several key aspects:

  1. Engine oil: recommended Nissan Motor Oil 5W-30 or analogues (Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30, Castrol Edge 5W-30). Replace every 10 thousand km or once a year.
  2. Transmission fluid: it is poured into the automatic transmission Nissan Matic S, replacement every 60 thousand km.
  3. Brake system: pads last 30-40 thousand km, discs - 80-100 thousand km.
  4. Suspension: shock absorbers (Bilstein or Kayaba) require replacement every 80–100 thousand km.

Pay special attention to:

  • 🔥 Cooling system: antifreeze (Nissan Long Life Coolant) change every 5 years.
  • 🔋 Battery: original 12V 100Ah lasts 3-4 years, then loses capacity.
  • 🛞 Tires: recommended size - 275/60 R20 (for Platinum). Pressure: 2.4 bar front, 2.6 bar rear.
