Nissan Patrol
2008 Nissan Patrol (see test track video)Revision is the keyword for the 4x4 fraternity and the patrol by Nissan is one of these. The Turbo Diesel line up now consists of the 5 deat DX wagon, 7 seat ST, ST-L and Ti . Petrol , 7 seat ST, ST-L and Ti The ST now has the 4.8L petrol variation ST-S is discontinued.Other than some cosmetics the Patrol boasts ABS anti locking Brakes as standard except the DX. The 4.8 petrol as we swelter in high fuel costs produces 180 kw at 4800 rpm but what is impressive is the Torque 400Nm at 3600 rpm. Add the 5 speed auto box with the sequential manual shift mode and this four wheel drive Nissan need to be taken notice of. Compare the ZD30 3.0L Turbo diesel and you will find less torque than the petrol but note its 380Nm is delivered at 2000rpm and here well consider the fuel economy. Wheel articulation for the car geeks show what a vehicle this is off road: quote (car advice. com. au) "It’s off road credentials are where it shows its true form with the ability to climb a 39-degree gradient and tackle 700mm-deep water crossings. Beam axles with coil springs front and rear allow excellent wheel articulation over the roughest terrain, while the auto-locking front hubs (on ST, ST-L and TI models), long suspension travel and generous ground clearance all contribute to the Patrol’s formidable off-road ability" Nissan Patrol WalkaboutLimited edition 2008. Available as a DX manual and a Patrol DX Automatic Extra value adds to this already well appointed vehicle approx $7000 according to Nissan. New price $49990. Not every one will get the chance on one of these as production is limited to 275. Engine size 3.0 CRD Extras include
Unless you are a brand follower this Nissan Patrol for the 2008 market is superb both on and off road. Given the kids to the beach test I can assure you space refinements and comfort are top of the list. Ask the wife test and you get a thumbs up . Nissan Patrol 2008 looking forward to 2009. Nice Patrol Video
