All-new Nissan Patrol production starts for Oz

Production of the all-new Nissan Patrol has begun in Japan, with the first right-hand-drive vehicles for Australia rolling off the line at Nissan Shatai's Kyushu plant. Australian customer deliveries are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2027.

The all-new Nissan Patrol has entered production in Japan ahead of its Australian launch, with the first right-hand-drive examples now rolling off the line at Nissan Shatai's Kyushu factory.

The start of production marks the beginning of manufacturing for right-hand-drive markets.

The new-generation Patrol rides on an all-new ladder-frame chassis.

Nissan says larger frame side members have increased torsional rigidity by 40 per cent compared with the outgoing Y62.

High-strength steel now makes up 27 per cent of the Patrol's body structure, up from six per cent in the outgoing model.

Nissan says the change contributes to a stronger body structure while helping to manage vehicle weight.

The new chassis also supports a 3700kg maximum braked towing capacity.

The all-new Nissan Patrol is expected to launch in Australia in the coming months, with the first customer deliveries scheduled for the first quarter of 2027.

Nissan has yet to announce local pricing and full Australian specifications.
