Toyota LandCruiser v Nissan Patrol Off-Road Comparison | CarAdvice

Toyota LandCruiser versus Nissan Patrol. It’s an old-time battle with some all-time hardware. Although the LandCruiser was facelifted in 2016, its bones date back to 2007. The Nissan Patrol was more recently refreshed in 2019, after launching as an all-new, petrol-only platform in 2010.

Fantastic non biased review. So i currently own a 200 series VX, i love the thing to bits< thought I'm not going to lie, i am little toyota biased. I recently drove the new Series 5 Patrol. I hate to say, i was impressed! i only drove it on the road. The patrol handles like a car, and makes the landruiser feel boaty in comparison, amazing really, not only that, the acceleration on the Patrol was smooth and super quick with real grunt! i have to confess, i would really consider the patrol if i was to choose again.. In my opinion, Both are awesome vehicles

I love both cruisers and patrols I just find even in older ones it's so hard to justify landcruiser prices!!!

[jean-louishamid]

The comment sections under LC vs Patrol videos are usually hilarious. This one is still very wise at the moment...

[Cynthiaanderson]

What an eye opener! Thanks for the reviews gents. I would seriously rethink the Patrol now.

[apostleamosseremani]

The Nissan patrol will be my preference because of its realistic price as well as its specifications.

CORRECTION: The LC200 uses a full-time 4wd via a centre-differential feeding power to both front and rear axles - hence why it needs a seperate locking system on this diff. The Patrol has no centre-differential. Instead it utilises a clutch pack on its transfer case which, when engaged sends power to the front axle. In AUTO mode, drive is sent to the rear axle only, with drive only being sent to the front axle when slip is detected. If 4wd-HI or 4wd-LO is selected then said clutch pack is permanently engaged and you have a ‘locked’ 4wd system.

The Y62 is aimed towards the luxury car market but still retains its go-anywhere reputation arguably better than the Land Cruiser despite only coming in Petrol. It's the Y62 for me as well.
And the 14.4L/100km is genuinely very impressive for a car that large

Patrol articulation (especially at 11:42) really surprised me. Independent suspension never really looks that impressive when flexing out but it does a pretty good job!

[mills]

Love both 200 and Y62 but for me, I think the Y62 is what suits my tastes more

Patrol plus 20K on offroad/overlanding goodies you have got yourself a proper rig.

[grahambridge]

Patrol vs LC vs Ram1500 vs Silverado 1500 - tow test, on road and off road. These are all similarly priced and similar use.

3:53 - LC200 has a 4.5L TTV8 diesel, not a 4.8 TV8 diesel...

I will choose the Patrol. Better value for money and 90% of the time you're gonna be on-road, not off-road. Leather interior and rear locker with the base model. It's an obvious choice. The Patrol definitely looks more modern and sophisticated and you can save that 20 Grand and turn it into a weapon. More bang for your buck. Shame it's not the UAE interior tho. Also, I currently have a diesel rig and the cost of running on diesel is obviously cheaper but, it's much more expensive to maintain and get parts for the engine and it's very loud. If you want to relax and be comfortable definitely petrol V8.

Owned a number of diesels over a few decades . But over this time the regulations have caused the engines to be chocked up with numerous emission devices with the latest ‘Add Blue’ last straw for the diesel
The Y62 is so much better on and off road the petrol motor is brilliant

[matthewfarrell]

Got to love the comments about the interior, one is for the city (Patrol), and the other is better for the bush (LC). The leather scratches and can be hard to clean etc. The cloth is a lot easier to get out the mud etc.
Then you have the Crawl mode, which you didn't give it any justice or even look at. Go use it, its not for driving normally, but when bogged in sand or mud, or when climbing gravel it is amazing as hell. Just an extra system to help.
While we are looking at the Prado (Toyota person here), I will say the Patrol's are, and always will be an equal weapon as the LC are.

[devanandshaji]

Both are great SUVs.they are legends in desert drive.

[Gavsta]

Great review guys. Honest and balanced. Really enjoyed it.

[MohammadKhan-nbxl]

Have to admit...very honest review...dream is patrol...but reality is am deriving a xtrail t30...but still happy..

[remyche]

Have a diesel but turning towards petrol, can buy whole new patrol engine for the price of a diesel injector pump

[mechmat]

Is the Patrol considered a reliable vehicle? Compared to most vehicles or compared to Toyotas?
