Australian buyers have placed 2500 registration orders for the new 2027 Nissan Patrol ahead of scheduled deliveries in the first quarter of 2027. This Y63-generation vehicle marks the first right-hand drive version of the model to be launched.
Why it matters
The high volume of interest underscores the enduring popularity of large off-road vehicles among Australian motorists. The transition to the Y63 platform introduces significant performance upgrades to the manufacturer's flagship SUV lineup.
The new 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 engine delivers 317kW of power and 700Nm of torque, representing an increase of 19kW and 140Nm over the previous Y62 model. The vehicle supports a 3700kg braked towing capacity.
The players
Nissan
A Japanese multinational automobile manufacturer that produces a wide range of vehicles including the Patrol, Navara, and Leaf.
The details
Offered in six distinct grades, the SUV features a nine-speed automatic transmission paired with a full-time four-wheel drive system. Drivers also benefit from a low-range transfer case and an electronic-locking rear differential to handle challenging terrain.
Timeline
Nissan will commence deliveries of the Y63 Patrol in the first quarter of 2027.
Roadmap
The launch of the Y63 Patrol reflects the broader industry trend of downsizing internal combustion engines while simultaneously increasing power output through turbocharging. This positions Nissan to maintain its competitive edge in the heavy-duty SUV market against rivals prioritising towing capacity.
Prospective buyers who have registered their interest should prepare for the transition to the new 3.5-litre engine and its associated performance metrics. Dealerships will manage the delivery schedule throughout the first quarter of 2027 as initial orders are fulfilled.
The takeaway
Customers interested in the new Patrol should note that 70 percent of current orders are concentrated on the Pro-4X and Ti-L Reserve grades. Prospective owners can expect enhanced off-road capabilities through the new electronic-locking rear differential and full-time four-wheel drive.
What happens next
Deliveries of the new Y63 Patrol are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027.
