This new Nissan Patrol V6T (Y63) comes paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission and an adaptive air suspension. But how does it fare inside, off the beaten path, and against its naturally aspirated sibling? Let’s dive in.

Nissan Patrol V6T (Y63) Interior: A Sanctuary of Luxury

Rear passengers enjoy dual 12.8-inch entertainment screens and a tri-zone climate control system with infrared sensors that adjust cooling based on body temperature.

Features like a panoramic sunroof, 64-color ambient lighting, and a 12-speaker Klipsch audio system elevate the experience, while 30% more cargo space and EZ Flex seats make it practical for families.

Off-Road Performance: Conquering Any Terrain

The Patrol V6T is built to dominate off-road challenges. Its full-time 4WD system, paired with a new 4×4 Transfer Mode Lock, lets drivers switch between six modes. Standard, Eco, Sport, Sand, Rock, and Mud for optimal traction.

The adaptive air suspension adjusts ride height, enhancing ground clearance (up to 300mm in some reports) and smoothing out rough terrain. Electronically controlled e-dampers fine-tune handling, balancing control and comfort.

While the approach angle (32°) and departure angle (25.5°) are slightly reduced from its predecessor, the Patrol’s robust chassis and high-heat-resistant turbochargers ensure reliability on steep inclines or sandy dunes.

Whether crawling over rocks or powering through soft sand, the V6T feels unstoppable, making it a favorite for Middle Eastern adventures where it’s a top seller.

V6T vs. Naturally Aspirated V6: A Quick Comparison

The Patrol’s base 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V6, producing 316 horsepower and 386 Nm of torque, is a solid but less exhilarating option. It’s cheaper, appealing to budget-conscious buyers, but lacks the twin-turbo’s punch, taking longer to reach 100 kmph (6.6 seconds for the V6T).

  • The naturally aspirated engine suits lighter duties, with a fuel economy of 9.7 km per liter compared to the V6T’s 10.1 km per liter, but it struggles with the Patrol’s 2.7-ton frame in demanding scenarios.
  • Off-road, both trims share the same 4WD system and suspension, but the V6T’s extra power (109 hp more) and torque (231 Nm more) provide superior confidence on steep or slippery terrain.
  • For towing, the V6T handles up to 3,500 kg, though exact figures for the base model are less clear.
  • Our Verdict

    The 2025 Nissan Patrol V6T (Y63) is a masterclass in blending luxury and capability. Its interior is a tech-savvy haven, perfect for families or long-distance travelers, while its off-road credentials make it a beast in the wild.

    Compared to the naturally aspirated trim, the V6T’s turbocharged power elevates performance, especially for demanding drives.

    If you’re seeking a premium SUV that thrives in both urban jungles and rugged trails, the Patrol V6T is hard to beat.
