Orders open for long-awaited Toyota LandCruiser 300 rival due in showrooms in Q1 2027
Nissan Australia has confirmed pricing and details of the new-generation Y63 Patrol, which will launch in early 2027 with a choice of six variants, including the local debut of the new Pro-4X trim.
Priced from $98,990 before on-roads for the entry Ti variant, the arrival of the twin-turbocharged petrol V6-powered generation formally puts its V8 Y62 predecessor to pasture after being on sale locally for 13 years.
The entry point is significantly lower than originally forecast (circa-$110,000) with Nissan Australia quoting the generational upcharge as “$2450 more than the outgoing Y62”.
Crucially, this just undercuts arch nemesis (diesel) Toyota LandCruiser 300’s tip-in price point ($99,270 list for the base GX).
Low to high, the Y63 range spans Ti, Ti+, Ti-L, Ti-L+ and the flagship Ti-L Reserve, which tops the lineup at $145,990 list. The off-road focussed Pro-4X, which is based off Ti-L spec, sits as the penultimate grade at $137,590 before on-roads.
All versions offer a three-row eight-seat interior configuration.
Core specifications are largely unchanged from the Y63’s global debut almost two years ago, with all six versions outputting 317kW and 700Nm from the twin-turbo 3.5L that’s backed by a nine-speed automatic transmission.
The naturally aspirated 236kW/386Nm 3.8L six offered in some markets is not currently slated for Australia.
While the Y63 doesn’t quite match the 341kW and 790Nm combined offered in the 3.3-litre twin-turbo V6 hybrid of the LandCruiser 300, the Toyota variants – from $156,810 for GR Sport – start at a price point higher than Nissan tree-topping version.
Standard across the range is full-time all-wheel drive with dual-range interlocking transfer case, and electronic locking mechanical rear differential and a suite of eight drive and terrain modes on offer.
Crucially, this more powerful (up 19kW) and torquier (up 140Nm) Patrol generation is rated to tow 3700kg braked – up 200kg over the last generation.
The entry Ti grades fits 18-inch wheels (plus a full-size spare) and sits on passive steel sprung suspension, and includes Nissan’s Propilot suite of safety and assistance features as well as a 3D ‘fixed’ surround camera system that includes the so-called ‘skeleton view’ invisible hood view.
Inside, the Ti offers synthetic leather trim, tri-zone automatic climate control and the smaller of the two ‘Monolith’ screen arrays offered in Y63 that features dual 12.3-inch digital display units. The base grade fits NissanConnect connected services with Google built-in and Gemini AI functionality.
The circa-$10K upcharge for the next-rung-up Ti+ essentially brings a swag of niceties to the base Ti fitout, which includes features such as a tilt and slide-sectioned full panoramic glass roof, privacy glass, a powered tailgate, roof rails, rain-sensing wipers and digital rear view mirror.
The key highlights to the mid-range Ti-L is the upgrade to 20-inch wheels and dynamic adaptive damping, called e-Damper, to the steel sprung suspension design.
Inside, the so-called Monolith digital window dressing upsizes to dual 14.3-inch displays and features a fancier 3D ‘rotating’ camera system. This ‘L’ grade also brings a head-up display and Klipsch premium 12-speaker audio system.
True to the form, the ‘plus’ iteration of the Ti-L specification centres around touring comfort with a number of interior upgrades offered for its formidable $12K upcharge over the ‘regular’ mid-range guise.
Seat trim graduates from fully synthetic to leather accented, with heating and ventilation for the front pews, while the driver gets massage functionality and a heated steering wheel.
Elsewhere, the Ti-L+ brings a biometric cooling for the HVAC system that brings pollen and particulate filtration, as well as a centre console cool box and multi-colour ambient lighting.
Based on the regular Ti-L, the hard-core Pro-4X crucially brings ride height-adjustable adaptive air suspension with e-Damper hardware, black-finished 20-inch wheels with all-terrain tyres, and trailer docking support.
Exterior styling wise, the Pro-4X gets enhanced overfenders, unique front fascia design, a Pathfinder/Navara-esque three-slot grille, Lava Red accents.
While the Pro-4X foregoes the leather accented trim of the ‘plus’ grade inside, it does adopt some of the Ti-L+ features such as the cool box, heated and ventilated seating and biometric air conditioning.
Positioned as the luxury on-road flagship, the Ti-L Reserve shares the Pro-4X’s air suspension but rides on large 22-inch rolling stock with lower profile rubber.
Inside, creature comforts such as driver and front passenger massage functionality, dual 12.8-inch rear entertainment screens, and towing aids such as the trailer docking support and standard fit electronic brake controller feature.
While Nissan Australia hasn’t released any ADR consumption details, it’s expected to land around the 12.7L/100km mark – down from the 14.4L thirst of the Y62 V8 – as forecast in our exclusive first drive of the new-generation Patrol back in 2025.
With its reduced-capacity 97-litre fuel tank (down from 140 litres), the lighter version of Y63 ought to nudge almost 1000kms of outright touring range calculated on our as-tested circa-10L/100km highway consumption figure.
The Y63 Patrol is available to order now through Nissan dealerships, with initial customer deliveries slated for early 2027.
All prices listed are before on-road costs.
