Nissan Australia has finally given its ageing Y62 Patrol the update fans have been asking for for years.
The big V8-powered off-roader finally gains the interior update that was rolled out in its key market, the Middle East, back in 2021.
Aussie buyers have been forced to wait four long years for this upgrade to land.

Better late than never: 2024 Nissan Patrol updated in Australia with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto coming to $3K dearer Toyota LandCruiser rival
Is the 2024 Nissan Patrol an overlooked 4WD? The Toyota LandCruiser rival might be big and bulky but here is why it's an ideal off-roader | Opinion
Nissan did add a much-needed 10.1 inch touchscreen to the Patrol a year ago, but that was essentially a head unit replacement that Nissan developed with local company Directed Technologies to bring to the model.
This latest interior upgrade will roll out to the regular Patrol Ti and Ti-L, as well as the hardcore Premcar-tuned Patrol Warrior.
It’s likely to be the final major update before the arrival of the highly anticipated Y63 Patrol in late 2026.
So what does the 2025 Nissan Patrol update usher in?
The SUV gets a redesigned centre console and centre stack and the headline feature is a new 12.3-inch digital multimedia display that now sits at the top of the dash.
This new screen includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and you can access the menu via buttons on the steering wheel or controls near the screen itself.
The new tech helps to modernise the interior of the Y62 Patrol which has been on sale globally since 2010, and Australia since early 2013.
It also gains a wireless device charger, a new 7.0-inch digital driver display showing speed, efficiency and nav instructions as well as the Patrol’s 'Off-Road Monitor'.
The trim has been given a refresh, too, with the option of a more minimalist black leather-accented layout, or what Nissan describes as a more premium chestnut treatment, featuring woodgrain flourishes on the dash and door and quilted leather-accented seats.
Stepping up into the pricier Patrol Ti-L will net you a 13-speaker Bose audio system, a digital rear view mirror and a cooled centre console box.
The Patrol Warrior gets all of the cabin updates and also gains black side steps.
Nissan has trimmed down the colour palette for the 2025 Patrol but a new ‘Desert Red Metallic’ joins ‘Gun Metallic’, ‘Moonstone White’, ‘Brilliant Silver’ and ‘Black Obsidian’.
Pricing has only increased marginally, with the Patrol Ti up by $1340 to $90,600, before on-road costs, while the Ti-L has only risen by $140 to $102,100.
The off-road-focused Patrol Warrior is also only up by $140 to $105,660, BOC.
In contrast, its Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series rival ranges in price from $96,991 all the way up to $145,791.
The Patrol continues to be offered with Nissan’s big 298kW/560Nm Petrol V8 driving all four wheels via a seven-speed auto transmission. It’s also available with Nissan’s new 10-year/300,000km warranty which is conditional on the vehicle only being serviced by authorised Nissan dealers.
Nissan is experiencing strong sales for Patrol towards the end of the current model’s life, with 1853 units finding homes to the end of March this year, which is ahead of the LandCruiser’s haul of 904 units.
