The legendary Nissan Patrol has just received a fresh interior makeover, bringing long-awaited tech upgrades to one of Australia’s most iconic full-size SUVs. While the Y62 Patrol is in its twilight years, Nissan has given it a timely cabin refresh to keep pace with today’s tech-savvy drivers—just as anticipation builds for the next-gen Y63.
Bigger Screens, Smarter Cabin
Among the most noticeable upgrades is the inclusion of a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This is a welcome leap from the outdated 8.0-inch system that had been a sticking point for many prospective buyers.
A new 7.0-inch driver display, Off-Road Monitor, and Intelligent Around-View Monitor with Moving Object Detection bring modern convenience to the dashboard, while the base Ti model now includes quilted leather upholstery and enhanced connectivity features.
Ti-L and Warrior Variants Get Premium Touches
The Ti-L variant adds premium touches such as a 13-speaker Bose audio system and a digital high-definition rear-view mirror. A cooled centre console adds to the SUV’s comfort-focused appeal, especially for long family trips or rugged off-road adventures.
The Warrior version, developed in partnership with Premcar, receives a minor yet sleek update in the form of black side steps, reinforcing its rugged aesthetic.
Performance Holds Steady with V8 Power
While the exterior and powertrain remain unchanged—with the familiar 5.6L V8 producing 298kW and 560Nm—the interior improvements signal Nissan’s intent to keep the Patrol competitive in its class.
Pricing Sees a Modest Rise
- Ti now starts from $90,600
- Ti-L is priced at $102,100
- Patrol Warrior moves slightly to $105,660
Why It Matters for Novated Lease Clients
For employers and fleet managers exploring novated lease options, these upgrades breathe new life into a trusted vehicle known for reliability and off-road prowess. With its mix of performance and luxury, the Patrol continues to be a strong candidate for government and corporate fleets.
