The All-New Nissan Y63 Patrol: Pricing Revealed, and the Next Chapter Gets Real

The wait for the all-new Nissan Patrol just became a whole lot more interesting.

Nissan Australia has officially announced pricing for the all-new Y63 Nissan Patrol, giving Australian buyers their first clear look at where the next generation of Nissan's iconic full-size 4WD sits in the market.

And for Patrol enthusiasts in Dandenong and Melbourne's south-east, there's now a very real reason to start paying attention.

The all-new Patrol will arrive in Australia with six variants, a completely new twin-turbo V6 powertrain, a significantly expanded range and, for the first time, a factory PRO-4X Patrol designed specifically with off-road capability in mind.

At Dandenong Nissan, we've been watching the Y63's Australian journey closely. After decades of Y60, Y61 and Y62 Patrols becoming part of Australian family life, touring culture and the 4WD community, the Y63 represents one of the biggest changes the Patrol nameplate has ever seen.

And now we know what it will cost.

Y63 Patrol Pricing: From $98,990 + On-Road Costs

Nissan has kept the entry point for the new Patrol below the psychologically important $100,000 mark.

The 2027 Nissan Patrol range will comprise:

*Manufacturer's list price before on-road costs. Pricing and specifications are subject to Nissan Australia's published terms.

The new range effectively doubles the number of Patrol variants previously available in Australia, giving buyers considerably more choice between family-focused luxury, premium touring and serious off-road capability.

For comparison, the outgoing V8-powered Ti started from $96,540 plus on-road costs.

So while the Y63 represents a substantial technological and engineering leap, Nissan has kept the entry price increase relatively contained at $2,450.

The Biggest Change Is Under the Bonnet

For Australian Patrol fans, one of the biggest changes will be impossible to miss.

The legendary naturally aspirated 5.6-litre V8 is gone.

In its place is Nissan's new 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6, producing:

317kW of power700Nm of torque

That's an increase of 19kW and 140Nm over the outgoing V8.

The new engine is paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission, replacing the previous seven-speed automatic.

But this isn't simply a case of fitting a smaller turbocharged engine into the Patrol.

Nissan has drawn on its performance-engineering expertise, including technology associated with the company's GT-R engine development.

The twin-turbo V6 also incorporates a scavenger oil pump, designed to help maintain engine lubrication during extreme off-road conditions such as steep climbs and off-camber terrain.

That detail says quite a lot about how Nissan approached the Y63.

This is still a Patrol.

A Patrol Designed for Australia

The Patrol name has a special place in Australian motoring.

Since arriving in Australia in 1961, Patrol has become synonymous with remote touring, family adventures, outback travel and serious four-wheel driving. Nissan describes the nameplate as having more than 60 years of Australian heritage.

The Y63 has been developed with that history in mind, while introducing technology that would have been unimaginable in earlier generations.

Full-time four-wheel drive remains standard, along with high- and low-range gearing, an electronic rear differential lock and multiple drive and terrain modes.

Maximum braked towing capacity also increases to 3,700kg — 200kg more than the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series.

For families towing boats, caravans and trailers from Melbourne's south-east toward Gippsland, the High Country or further afield, that's a meaningful number.

And Then There's the Patrol PRO-4X

Perhaps the most interesting addition to the Australian Patrol range is the PRO-4X.

The PRO-4X badge will be familiar to anyone following the new Navara, but this is the first time Nissan Australia has applied the formula to Patrol.

And Nissan isn't treating it as simply a cosmetic grade.

The Patrol PRO-4X gets:

• 20-inch black alloy wheels

• All-terrain tyres
• Unique wheel-arch extensions
• A dedicated front bumper designed to improve approach angle
• Lava Red exterior accents
• Adaptive air suspension
• Intelligent Dynamic Damping
• Off-road-focused equipment
• Trailer docking assistance
• Integrated electric trailer brake controller

It's priced at $137,590 plus on-road costs.

For people who want their Patrol to spend as much time away from the bitumen as it does on it, this could become one of the most interesting versions of the Y63.

Technology Takes a Massive Step Forward

While the Patrol's mechanical capability remains central to the Y63, the biggest visual transformation happens inside the cabin.

Depending on specification, the new Patrol introduces technologies including:

Dual 14.3-inch displays

Head-Up Display

12-speaker Klipsch premium audio

Biometric Cooling

Zero-gravity seating

Front massage seats

Google built-in

NissanConnect connected services

And Nissan's new Monolith display, which brings together vehicle information, navigation, infotainment and connectivity.

Higher grades also introduce Adaptive Air Suspension, which can raise the Patrol when additional ground clearance is required off-road and lower the vehicle when parked to make getting in and out easier.

At highway speeds, the system can automatically lower the Patrol to support aerodynamic efficiency and cruising comfort.

It's a very different Patrol from the Y62.

But importantly, the fundamentals haven't disappeared.

It's still big.

It's still a proper 4WD.

It's still designed around eight occupants.

And it's still built to tow and travel.

What Does the Y63 Mean for Dandenong?

For Dandenong and Melbourne's south-east, the Patrol has always made sense. Our region is full of people who use their vehicles for more than commuting. A Friday afternoon can mean heading east toward Gippsland.

A weekend might involve camping beyond Traralgon, exploring the High Country, towing a boat or caravan, or heading into the Victorian bush with the family. For others, the Patrol is simply the ultimate family vehicle — something capable of handling school runs during the week and long-distance adventures when the weekend arrives.

That versatility has always been central to the Patrol's appeal. The Y63 doesn't abandon that formula. It takes it into an entirely new era.

When Can You See the New Patrol at Dandenong Nissan?

This is where things get exciting.

Dandenong Nissan expects demonstration vehicles to become available around December 2026, giving local customers an opportunity to see the Y63 in person ahead of the first retail deliveries.

First customer arrivals are expected from January 2027, with Nissan confirming that Australian customer deliveries are scheduled to begin in Q1 2027.

That means the wait is now measured in months rather than years.

For anyone who has been watching the Y63 from afar, this is the point where the new Patrol starts becoming real.

The End of One Patrol Era. The Beginning of Another.

The Y62 Patrol will always have its place in Australian 4WD history.

The naturally aspirated V8.

The unmistakable exhaust note.

The enormous presence.

And a reputation built over years of Australian touring and off-road use.

The Y63 doesn't attempt to simply recreate that vehicle.

Instead, Nissan has taken the Patrol in a new direction.

More power.

More torque.

More technology.

More variants.

More premium features.

A new off-road-focused PRO-4X.

And an entirely new twin-turbo V6 drivetrain.

But underneath all of that is the same basic idea that has kept Patrol relevant in Australia for more than six decades:

Build a vehicle that can take the family further.

From Dandenong to Gippsland.

From the bitumen to the bush.

From the school run to the big adventure.

The next chapter of Patrol is about to begin.
