Nissan has increased the price of its Patrol range by $5000 across all variants, with the hike taking effect from August 1. 

The entry-level Ti now starts at $95,600 before on-road costs, the Ti-L sits at $107,100, and the Warrior tops the range at $110,660. This marks the second price rise for the Patrol in 2025, bringing the Ti’s year-to-date increase to $6340. The earlier bump came in April when the updated MY25 Patrol landed in Australia with a range of interior and tech upgrades.

Those updates included a new 12.3-inch central infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, built-in sat-nav and a wireless phone charger. A 7.0-inch digital driver display was also added, alongside an off-road monitor to improve visibility in technical terrain, and an updated 360-degree camera system with moving object detection.

The cabin received a minor overhaul with two interior trim options now available: black leather or a chestnut-and-woodgrain combo with quilted leather upholstery. The higher-spec Ti-L also gained a 13-speaker BOSE audio system, a digital rear-view mirror and a centre console cool box.

There were no mechanical changes as part of the update. The Patrol continues to use the same 5.6-litre naturally aspirated petrol V8 making 298kW and 560Nm, paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission.

Nissan attributed the price rise to several factors including raw material costs, logistics, foreign exchange rates, market conditions, and regulatory pressures like the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES). The NVES, which took effect on July 1, fines carmakers $100 for every gram of CO₂ per kilometre their new vehicle fleet exceeds the target – currently set at 216g/km for large 4WD wagons and light commercials.

With its 5.6-litre V8 producing 334g/km of CO₂, the Patrol sits well above this limit, likely increasing Nissan’s fleet emissions penalties and contributing to the price hike.

The next-generation Y63 Patrol has been revealed overseas with new twin-turbo V6 engines, but the current V8 remains on sale in Australia for now. With no hybrid or lower-emissions option available, more price increases may follow as emissions standards continue to tighten.

Despite the $5000 price rise, the Nissan Patrol still undercuts the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series across all comparable variants. The Patrol Ti starts at $95,600 before on-road costs, making it cheaper than the entry-level LandCruiser GX, which now starts at $97,990. The mid-spec Patrol Ti-L ($107,100) sits below the GXL ($110,820). The top-spec Patrol Warrior ($110,660) is well under the VX ($122,510).

Higher-end LandCruiser trims like the Sahara ($139,310), Sahara ZX ($146,910) and GR Sport ($146,160) are in a different price bracket entirely.
