Nissan Patrol has a history of more than half a century, and in Australia, the Middle East, Russia and other regions, Nissan Patrol is the most well-known four-wheel drive SUV.
 
The Nissan Patrol and Infiniti QX56 are on the same platform and are Nissan's first full-size SUV. The sixth-generation model, released in 2010, is powered by a 5.6-liter V8 engine with direct injection technology and is mated to a seven-speed automatic manual transmission, which surpasses the 5.7-liter engine on the Lexus LX570.
 
Although the Nissan Patrol isn't targeting the off-road market, its towing capabilities surpass most of its competitors in its class. The V8 engine delivers 298kW of power and 560Nm of torque. For the most part, the engine is able to control the speed of 1600 rpm for smooth comfort, and the 6.6 second time is enough to leave most competitors behind. The full-time all-wheel drive system works in automatic mode enough to allow the driver to drive calmly through difficult sections. The combination of the V8 engine and the seven-speed automatic manual gearbox, coupled with the intervention of Nissan Hydraulic Body Motion Control (HBMC), makes it difficult for passengers to feel the thick lines of the behemoth.
 
The wheelbase of the current Nissan Patrol is similar to that of the Infiniti QX56, and even the streamlined styling is about the same. Nissan has a knack for designing seats like large sofas to make a satisfying first impression. The Nissan Patrol's seats are electrically adjustable and heated in multiple directions, and have two sets of memory functions, and the rear two rows of seats can be reclined to even rival the storage space of a minivan.
 
Among Japanese cars, Nissan's reliability is in the middle of the pack. The engine and transmission could go through a decade, but the Patrol after five years often had some failures in suspension and circuitry. According to J.D. Power's 2016 annual number of failures per 100 new cars, Nissan is 173 times, and the industry average is 152 times; In 2014, it was 120 times, and the industry average was 116 times. Overall, there is still a certain gap between Nissan's quality and that of Toyota and Honda.
 
In terms of safety configuration, the front front front airbags, side airbags, head curtains, front active safety headrests, front collision warning system, lane departure warning system, vehicle dynamic control system, blind spot warning system, panoramic image monitoring system, front and rear parking radar, tire pressure monitoring system and other configurations have appeared on the Nissan Patrol, which is enough for a large SUV.
