Nissan Australia has accidentally let the cat out of the bag on its upcoming Y63 Patrol model line-up, with details briefly appearing on the company’s own finance calculator. 

The slip-up has forced Nissan to confirm what’s coming to Australia at launch, including a six-model range featuring Ti, Ti-L, Pro-4X and Ti-L Reserve variants. The website also listed ‘TiP’ and ‘Ti-LP’ grades, with Nissan is yet to explain exactly how the TiP and Ti-LP grades will fit into the Australian range.

The new Patrol is due in Australian showrooms in the first quarter of 2027, with orders set to open later this month. First revealed globally in September 2024, the Y63 has been spotted testing on Australian roads and represents a major change for Nissan’s large SUV.

Gone is the outgoing Patrol’s 5.6-litre V8, replaced by a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 producing 317kW and 700Nm. That’s 19kW more power and 140Nm more torque than the outgoing V8, with drive sent through a nine-speed automatic.

The new engine also develops peak torque earlier in the rev range, which Nissan says should help when towing, climbing hills and tackling off-road conditions. It also borrows technology from Nissan’s GT-R program, including a scavenger oil pump designed to maintain consistent engine lubrication during extreme off-road driving, including steep inclines and off-camber terrain.

Adaptive Air Suspension is expected to be available on selected grades, potentially including the more premium versions of the Patrol range. It allows the Patrol to raise itself in Off-Road Mode for improved approach, breakover and departure angles, while also lowering the vehicle when parked to make getting in and out easier or loading cargo.

The system automatically lowers the Patrol at speeds above 90km/h and raises it again below 70km/h. Nissan’s Intelligent Dynamic Damping, or e-Damper technology, will also be available with the Adaptive Air Suspension system, continuously adjusting to changing road and terrain conditions.

The Y63 also brings a significant step up in technology and comfort, with selected grades getting Nissan’s Monolith display with dual 14.3-inch screens and a Head-Up Display. Front seats can be fitted with massage functions, while first- and second-row passengers get Nissan’s ‘zero-gravity’ seats.

Another Patrol first is Biometric Cooling, which monitors passenger temperatures and adjusts the climate control when the vehicle is started. Selected variants will also get a 12-speaker Klipsch premium audio system with a 12-channel, 600-watt amplifier.

Nissan is yet to reveal pricing or the full specifications for each Australian grade, but the accidental finance calculator listing gives us our first look at how the Y63 Patrol range will be structured locally.
