Nissan Philippines is adding a new, “more affordable” variant of its flagship SUV, the Patrol for 2026. This new option offers customers more ways to experience the Japanese brand’s most capable and luxurious SUV.
Priced at P 5,335,000, this new Patrol variant drops the Rear Seat Entertainment system for added savings of P 50,000 (the Patrol with the Rear Seat Entertainment system retails for P 5,385,000). An additional P 20,000 is commanded for Gun Metal with Black Roof, P 30,000 for Everest White, and P 50,000 for Everest White with Black Roof.
Although more front passenger-focused in configuration, the Patrol continues to deliver the hallmark luxury, performance, and long‑distance comfort that define the Patrol experience. With this broadened range, customers can select the Patrol that best reflects their preferences, while preserving the model's unmistakable flagship character.
The Y63 Patrol is powered by most powerful engine ever fitted to the name plate. The twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 (VR35DDTT) produces 431 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 700 Nm of torque. This is then mated to a 9-speed automatic with steering wheel-mounted shifter paddles and an intelligent 4WD system with two-speed transfer case (Auto, 4H, 4L).
Together with the engine, the all-new Patrol gets a first-in-its-class Adaptive Air Suspension. This allows it to raise or drop its ride height making for easier entry or exit, or even improved off-roading and flood crossing capability. Also, e-dampers at all four corners help give it a wonderful, magic carpet ride. On the subject of ground clearance, it has 244 mm of it.
The all-new Patrol is the first Nissan model with a 4WD transfer mode interlock allowing it to switch between modes at any time. With that, drivers have a selection is six modes to choose from—Standard, Eco, Sport, Sand, Mud, Rock—to maximize not just traction, but also throttle sensitivity and even how the electric aids all behave.
Inside, the Patrol gets a 28.6-inch Monolith display with twin 14.3-inch displays. One acts as an instrument cluster, and another as the infotainment screen. At the center, Nissan has resisted the temptation of putting everything in the touchscreen, placing driving-related controls as clear physical buttons and knobs. The shifter, meanwhile, is the first Nissan model to adopt a Piano Button style arrangement.
Other features in the Patrol include customizable ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, and the segment’s first Biometric Cooling technology. This uses a built-in infrared sensor to detect the body temperature of front and second row passengers, and automatically adjusts the climate control as needed.
Moreover, recognizing the strong and sustained demand for the Patrol, Nissan Philippines has secured additional allocation for the Philippine market—reflecting the model's importance in Nissan's global performance and the continued support of local customers.
Lol what? Who would pay 50K less just to lose out on that rear entertainment when they are already spending more than 5M?
ReplyDeleteI agree. I would have removed the air suspension for those who're not too sold on the longevity of that system and sell it for, maybe, P 150K less? That would have worked.
DeleteThe product planner had a brain fart with this one lmao.
ReplyDeletehope they come up with a hybrid. with gasoline getting more expensive have a v6 engine does not make sense. maybe they can introduce a smaller engine smaller price
ReplyDeleteThis is by far the most ridiculous I've seen this week. A 5 MILLION pesos car reduced by a slight 50k won't make this vehicle "affordable". This so ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteThe ridiculous is the author. He is overblowing P50k discount as a "more AFFORDABLE" option on a P5M vehicle. This is a high schooler article; writing for the sake of writing, no substance on claim.
DeleteIn what way was I ridiculous? It's a new variant of the Patrol, and we simply reported it. If you read my response to people in the comments section, you'd see my sentiments too.
DeleteThe real title should be "Nissan experiences rear monitor supply issues, will sell you a patrol without one for 50k less" š
ReplyDeleteIt only demonstrate Nissan pricing strategy is in fact as lousy as how it manages long term business longevity
ReplyDeleteThank God it's not that affordable to be still unattainable by your typical Fortuner/Montero peons.
ReplyDeleteDamnn land cruiser diesel engine vs patrol gas??? probably for dubai uae country only not for Philippine traffic ⛔ or former fj cruiser peeps
