Nissan patrol are out and the car seems to be a toyota land cruiser competitor. Nissan is considering to roll out 2010 version of the patrol to the states to fill some of the holes left by the cancellation of the armada and infiniti qx56. Adopting design cues like a cantilevered roof from the 2007 nissan terranaut concept the 2010 patrol also looks a bit like a passenger version of the new nv2500 light commercial vehicle. It is expected that the new patrol will remain body-on-frame and that it will pick up a 4. Other engine options will likely include a 4. 0l v6 diesel (co-developed with renault) that is rumored to produce 265 hp and 405 ft-lbs of torque. In terms of its appearance the new patrol looks softer than the outgoing model which should help it appeal to those want an suv without the strictly utilitarian looks found in serious workhorses such as the previous generation patrol and the toyota land cruiser. The new interior seems to confirm this shift in attitude with modern gadgets and luxurious leather being found in abundance to bring the patrol into the 21st century. Coupled with what appears to be a satellite navigation screen in the center console and a control knob behind the gear lever the new patrol should find favor with customers not looking for an out-and-out utility vehicle.
