2027 Nissan Patrol Y63 pricing confirmed for Australia

The new 2027 Nissan Patrol will start at $98,990 before on-road costs, with the first examples of the six-member Y63 range due in Australia in early 2027.

That makes the entry-level eight-seat Patrol Ti $280 cheaper than the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series GX, which starts at $99,270 before on-road costs.

The Ti is $2450 dearer than its outgoing Y62 equivalent, launched here in 2013, while the mid-spec Ti-L rises by a steeper $15,590. Both remain cheaper than comparable LandCruiser 300 Series variants while bringing significant on-paper gains over the existing Patrol.

While late to the party after the Y63 was launched in the Middle East and the United States – where it's sold as the Armada – in 2024, Australia will be the first right-hand drive market to offer the new Patrol.

While the new Patrol matches the LandCruiser 300 Series for the number of model grades offered, there are several key differences from both the Toyota and the outgoing three-model Y62 Patrol range, which tops out at $110,660 for the Patrol Warrior.

The Y63 is bigger, more powerful and better equipped than its predecessor, with eight seats on all versions, starting with the entry-level Ti priced at $98,990 before on-road costs, compared with $96,540 for the outgoing V8-powered version.

The six-grade range, twice as many as the outgoing model, doesn't include a Patrol Warrior at launch, but comprises the Ti, Ti+, Ti-L, Ti-L+, Pro-4X and Ti-L Reserve.

The lineup matches a leak of the local range earlier this month, and is topped by the Ti-L Reserve at $145,990 before on-road costs.

The six-grade Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series lineup starts at $99,270 before on-road costs for the entry-level GX and stretches to $156,740 for the Sahara ZX hybrid.

While Nissan Australia has released key equipment details for each Patrol grade, it will confirm full specifications closer to its arrival in local showrooms.

Other key changes include a new-generation ladder-frame chassis claimed to be 40 per cent stiffer, as well as electric power steering and independent multi-link rear suspension.

The Y63 measures 5205mm long, 2030mm wide and 1945mm high, while retaining its predecessor’s 3075mm wheelbase, with Nissan claiming it can comfortably fit eight full-size adults.

Its new ‘unbreakable’ design language is led by double-C headlights and a wider V-motion grille, which Nissan says pays homage to the second-generation Patrol.

In profile, all models have side steps as standard and a rising window line which leads to Patrol branding on the D-pillar, with a full-width rear light bar emphasising the new off-roader’s presence.

Official Australian cargo-capacity figures haven't been announced, but the equivalent US-market Armada offers more space than its predecessor, with 578L behind the third row – up 111L – and 1594L with the third row folded, an increase of 181L.

With both rear rows folded, maximum cargo capacity grows by 127L, from 2623L in the outgoing model to 2750L in the Y63.

Significantly, the previous naturally aspirated 5.6-litre 'VK56VD' petrol V8 and seven-speed automatic transmission have been replaced by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 and nine-speed automatic.

The new engine produces 317kW and 700Nm, increases of 19kW and 140Nm over the V8, with official local fuel figures yet to be confirmed.

Every Australian Y63 comes with electric power steering, full-time four-wheel drive, a two-speed transfer case with 4H and 4L modes, an electronic locking rear differential, eight selectable drive and terrain modes, and a 3700kg braked towing capacity to pip the LandCruiser 300 Series by 200kg.

Trailer blind-spot monitoring is also standard, joining trailer sway control which was also standard on the Y62.

The entry-level Ti comes with gunmetal-finish 18-inch alloy wheels, a full-size spare wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, synthetic leather upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.

Inside are dual 12.3-inch displays and a 3D Intelligent Around View Monitor with a ‘skeleton’ view to assist with parking.

Google Built-in, Google Gemini AI and Nissan Connected Car Services are standard across the range, as is a tyre pressure monitoring system and the Nissan ProPilot system including rear-cross traffic alert.

Above the entry-level Patrol Ti, the Ti+ at $109,480 before on-road costs adds privacy glass for the second- and third-row side windows, roof rails, a powered panoramic sunroof and a hands-free power tailgate.

Next, the Ti-L ($122,690 + ORC) rides on larger 20-inch machined alloy wheels and is the first Patrol equipped with Nissan’s Intelligent Dynamic Damping, or e-Damper, continuous damping system.

The Ti-L also gains dual 14.3-inch displays, a head-up display and a 12-speaker Klipsch sound system.

Nissan says its Intelligent Around View Monitor also gains a rotatable 3D view in the Ti-L, rather than the fixed view offered in lower grades.

The Ti-L+ adds genuine leather upholstery, heated and ventilated front seats, a massaging driver’s seat, a heated steering wheel and a cooled centre console.

Priced at $134,690 before on-road costs, it also comes with multi-colour ambient cabin lighting and ‘biometric cooling’, which detects occupants’ body temperatures and adjusts the climate-control settings accordingly.

The $137,590 Pro-4X, sits above it in price and adds a stronger off-road focus, following the Navara Pro-4X ute.

For the Y63, this includes black 20-inch alloy wheels with all-terrain tyres, wider wheel-arch flares, adaptive air suspension with Intelligent Dynamic Damping and unique Pro-4X front-end styling.

Lava Red accents feature on the tow hooks, wheel caps and D-pillar lettering.

The Pro-4X also features Intelligent Dynamic Damping but gains adaptive air suspension, enabling the ride height to be adjusted for greater off-road versatility and easier passenger entry, exit and cargo loading.

At speeds above 90km/h, the system automatically lowers the Patrol to improve fuel economy and reduce wind noise, before returning it to its standard height once the speed drops below 70km/h.

The Patrol Pro-4X also comes with trailer-docking assistance and an electronic trailer-brake controller as standard.

It's based on the Ti-L but picks up Ti-L+ features including heated and ventilated front seats and a heated steering wheel.

At the top of the range is the Patrol Ti-L Reserve, priced at $145,990 before on-road costs.

It adds 22-inch step-machined alloy wheels, trailer-docking assistance and an electronic trailer-brake controller.

Like the Pro-4X, it also features adaptive air suspension with Intelligent Dynamic Damping.

Inside are massaging seats for the driver and front passenger, along with dual 12.8-inch second-row entertainment screens.

The Y63 will be covered by Nissan’s service-activated warranty and roadside-assistance programs for up to 10 years or 300,000km when serviced by an authorised Nissan dealer.

Scheduled servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, where the LandCrusier 300 Series has six-month intervals, with each of the first five services capped at $499.
