The Patrol V6 for most buyers, gets the job done as they might have to commute either within the city or the regular inner-city journeys for which 276 hp is more than adequate as they won't be revving the nuts out of the car but cruising at idling speeds of 100 km/h between 2-3k rpm. You didn't find its drive scintillating because you tried to stretch it beyond its capacity. So it is meant for the family man, surely not for an enthusiast.
Fair opinion but I wouldn't say I was "stretching it beyond its limits" - in general it struggled to get up to highway speed, and passing was not exactly effortless.
@@amanatwal9008 V8 Ram 1500. I've had daily V6s in the past - the Patrol V6 is subpar in terms of performance and economy compared to them. It's fine - if thirsty - in the Xterra where it comes from.
Just bought a 2023 model and i´m so happy with it. BTW, if you live in Dubai or UAE and want to drive on easy desert tracks go to the spot where this video was shot. Its called "Half desert road". Fun, easy and cool.
Cars like nissan patrol, mitsubishi pajero, Land cruiser & prado r said that they r not updated for a long time but that is because it works and they all r good at off road and for long trips.
I think a turbo kit on this would move out. I defo wouldnt lool at buying one without a v8. Or maybe re design the v6td that was in the stx nissan navaras with a bit more boost upgrade would be needed.
Would have to disagree with MME, yes general solidity and reliability isn’t like the LC but its not that far off. However, build quality is way better, go see the interior of a LC and then sit in the Patrol and you’ll see the difference. General fit and finish and materials are much better than LC
Dee you're talking about material choices - yes I'd agree the Patrol is better in that regard. Fit and finish, about the same but the LCs last longer - way longer.
The 4L Prado is considerably lighter and more nimble than the 4L Patrol, which I don't really recommend. Neither is particularly great on fuel. If you need seven seats, the Patrol is your only choice. If you want to really enjoy the Patrol - get the V8.
I would say no as I have a 4.l prado that prado saves alot of fuel but it is very small and if you see a nissan patrol nismo that I have next a prado I will say a tes to patrol ad a bad no to prado but I will say that I love the prado
@@premlalwani7342 Well I don’t agree that 4 cylinder prado is fuel efficient. You’ll get more powerful V6 suv that are more fuel efficient than prado such as explorer, cx9, durango and even the v6 patrol will give same or better efficiency than prado.
Very nice review, bro I need a suggestion from you. Currently I'm having Honda pilot 2012 model with good fuel economy of 11 to 15 and thinking to switch to patrol. What's your opinion about fuel economy and maintenance costs of Nissan patrol or do you recommend any SUV in Dubai??
I bought a V6 it is a very good car and power is enough and the 7 gears gives it comfort. I drove even today offroad 90 minutes amazing it did not stuck. *I bought the lowest category in Patrol.
@@rashedalali5893 I have v6 I definitely recommend it. Its not slow I did 8.5 secs to 100 stock. I have got 6.7 from a 400 V8 but u won't feel it that much slower
super rare that i leave a comment on a video. I feel that the reviewer from the get-go attempt to put the car in a negative light. More like guilty until it is proven innocent! Not everyone built to be a reviewer. Even when has all the time in the world to respond to a comment, he responds with the wrong info.

@@MotoringMiddleEast show me 1 video where a patrol loses to the 3.3 ton behemoth. Time arabgts video urself. Even in ur own video it was around 9 secs. The 2020 is A LOT heavier than the 2017, before you try to understand why, its cause of a million more features.
I like the response of the VQ40 (in the Xterra, not the Patrol where it struggles) but it's a lot thirstier than the GR. Neither is a great match for the cars they're in - the old LC 4.5 straight-six is way nicer to drive but its V8-like thirst wouldn't fly today.
The V 8 gasoline engines 5.6 has much more horsepowers and torques than the V6 4.0 ,by far and better fuel efficient than the 4.0 v 6 , Toyota landcruiser lc 200 is stepping downward to V6 3.5 twins turbos with 450 horsepowers,but can be very dangerous towards seriously off roading , and others hauling over 7000 pounds or more with a trailer.
Do u own a land cruiser or smth? If u find this slow, try out a v6 land cruiser or prado 2.7. This thing does 200 so slow it aint. Probably drive it without constantly chanting it's a v6 so it's slow and then review it. The price difference isnt much for a person who already is splashing 270k dhs on a nissan. The impartiality in the review can be seen when hes going around a corner without pressing the accelerator and says this car is so slow
The V6 Land Cruiser is just as slow. You can get any car "up to 200" if you have infinite patience - most people have better things to do. The V8 is a far, far better car.
@@MotoringMiddleEast ofc its better, and not every car does 200, limiters exist. Brake torque and launch this and it keeps up with a 4.6 land cruiser without any probs
I pity the fool who lend this clown a patrol. Most of the things he mentions about the car is inaccurate, he is not even sure about the things he is talking about.

@@MotoringMiddleEast What car do you drive, daily?

Nissan's VQ40 DE is a proven engine. Used in Xterras and Pathfinders before the V6 Patrol launched

hi can u review the Nissan Maxima
Good review!
Finally QX56 V6, sounding like Frontier
Great vid! How would compare general solidity and build quality compared to the LC?
Not as good as LC
MotoringMiddleEast had heard the same from others as well actually. Thanks!

Dee Ahmed I would disagree as well because patrols as far as i know isn’t that good in build quality, or atlast I feel like that from my experience.
Yes... Please review the V8
Is the 4.0l V6 Prado more fun to drive than V6 Patrol? How do they compare each other on fuel efficiency?

I'm assuming you're thinking of the Patrol V6. Maintenance-wise parts are cheap and easily available, but it'll be worse on gas than the Pilot.
@@MotoringMiddleEast I've heard the V8 is more Economic than the V6 in terms of fuel consumption .
Any truth to that claim ?
@@Human-bf7kz would like to know that too..
You are saying it got lot of issues then you are saying it got zero issues. Confused?
take it to the dunes and show us what V6 can do, than only its a valuable review
Hi where is the place you’re recording in?
....the desert?
@@MotoringMiddleEast 🤦♂️
Did you mention the price? or the MPG? Did I miss it in the review? Please add those details in the comments. Thanks
Starts at AED199k, this one (top spec) is AED240k. MPG varied between 14-17 L/100km - not exactly frugal.
@@MotoringMiddleEast this one is 270k , the titanium is 240
hows ride quality and suspension
Generally good, a little brittle over uneven surfaces.
Where’s the turbo diesel version???
In never never land! Never going to happen since this car is focused on Middle East markets.
Hi, I saw your review on Kia Telluride. Is Telluride better than Patrol?
Depends what you need. The Telluride has more gadgets and a more upscale interior.
Is the pickup as great as v8 ?
Just about OK but nowhere as good as the V8.
Is the steerwheel on v6 light as v8
Lighter than the V8, even.
I bought a V6 it is a very good car and power is enough and the 7 gears gives it comfort.
I drove even today offroad 90 minutes amazing it did not stuck.
*I bought the lowest category in Patrol.
@@faisalfoulad1488 bro what's the mileage u are getting
I mean I ahve a v6 2019 nismo which is better than a v8 with better fuel economy
why we should switch to the v8 cloud you explain to me .
The V6 is slow and not much better on petrol than the V8.
so I pay more than 60 thousand dirhams just for horse power or more speed ! or ther are many differences between them?
@@rashedalali5893 I have v6 I definitely recommend it. Its not slow I did 8.5 secs to 100 stock. I have got 6.7 from a 400 V8 but u won't feel it that much slower

bruh how is AED 265k affordable ???
For this guy maybe
Lolz
Btw my 2017 V6 platinum clocked 7.9-8 secs to 100. ArabGT with a break in period car got 8.8 secs which coincidentally is faster than a lx570 🤣

@@MotoringMiddleEast just raced one today and I walked the 🐄
V6 good for city small family . If driving long distance or going off road beach dunes take V8
It would have to be a very small family....!
how is this compared to land cruiser v6
Faster., more spacious, newer tech. The Land Cruiser's edge is that it's built better, and more capable in the desert.
MotoringMiddleEast patrol is definitely more spacious but faster I doubt that 😬🤔
Adil Sulfiqar If we’re comparing V6’s (1GR vs VQ40) I think the VQ40 might have an edge over the 1GR.

MotoringMiddleEast i test drove a V6 patrol and Xterra, i dont know there is something missing or that final essence I found it in the 4.0 V6 Toyota
Shogun 2022
Many comments mentioned about the patrol was incorrect. You should have done basic research before posting the video.
He is the best so far very much information
Glad you think so!

you know that the GXR is better for the same price but you buy a Nissa v6 because it looks better
"Looks better" is a highly subjective opinion....
@@MotoringMiddleEast i mean the wood conpare to no wood
Came back to give this review an another look, found even more flaws.
U funny
Lmao why do I have a feeling you’re shitting on the car cause some Nissan patrol on the road overtook you or scared you
Er why would I be scared of a mere Patrol...? I've been driving pickup trucks for years.
I pity the fool who lend this clown a patrol. Most of the things he mentions about the car is inaccurate, he is not even sure about the things he is talking about.
I'm not sure why you're watching it either...
If you’re going to buy a petrol you’d be crazy not to buy the v8
AYY MALBARII
No.
Correct answer!
The v8 is better trust me.
I keep saying it but no one listens LOL
@@MotoringMiddleEast so are you saying v8 is better than v6 for fuel economy??I drive an Xterra since last 10 years..
