Why “Patrol” was filmed on a Nissan Patrol: technical details

Car Nissan Patrol became one of the symbols of the series - and this is no coincidence. The creators chose this model for several reasons:

  1. Durability and reliability: Patrol used in real patrol services of Kazakhstan due to its high maneuverability and protection from bullets (armored versions).
  2. Visual recognition: black and white cars with flashing lights are immediately associated with the police, which is important for the atmosphere of the series.
  3. Technical support: Nissan Kazakhstan provided 4 cars for filming, as well as consultants for driving in extreme conditions.

The series shows real possibilities of Patrol:

  • 🚗 The ice drift scenes were filmed without stunt doubles - the actors took a short course in extreme driving.
  • 💥 In the episode with the car explosion, a special frame was used so as not to damage the original body.
  • 🔧 For night filming, additional spotlights with a capacity of 10,000 lumens were installed on cars.

⚠️ Attention: If you noticed that in the series Patrol behaves unrealistically (for example, suddenly brakes at high speed), this is due to editing - some scenes were sped up for dramatic effect.

The car is equipped with a V8 engine (5.6 l)|

The price of one car in the Kazakh police is about 25 million tenge (~4.5 million rubles) |

Where NOT to look for “Patrol”: risks of pirated resources

Many viewers try to find the series on torrents or dubious sites like kinokrad.co or hdrezka.ag. However, this is fraught with consequences:

  • 🦠 Viruses and mining: Pirate sites often inject hidden cryptocurrency mining scripts that will tax your device's CPU.
  • 📵 IP blocking: Providers, at the request of copyright holders, can restrict access to the Internet for viewing illegal content.
  • 🎭 Poor quality: On torrents, series are often uploaded in resolution 480p with artifacts or a superimposed channel logo.

The only safe way is official platforms. Even if the series costs 99 ₽ to rent, it is cheaper than treating your computer for viruses.

The series received mixed reviews, but overall ratings were positive. On Kinopoisk the rating is 7.2/10 (as of May 2026), and at IMDb — 6.8/10. Here's what viewers write:

✅ Pros:

  • 🎥 Dynamic plot — there are no drawn-out scenes, each episode ends with intrigue.
  • 🎭 Acting — Nurlan Koyanbaev and Bauyrzhan Kaptagaev especially stand out.
  • 🚗 Realistic chase - the best car scenes among Kazakh TV series.

❌ Cons:

  • 📉 Weak ending — many expected a more elaborate ending.
