2025 Nissan Patrol Summary

What’s this? Another revised Nissan Y62 Patrol?

That’s right, even though its Y63 next-generation successor has been on sale in left-hand drive form elsewhere since 2024.

But with no right-hand drive production yet, Australians might still have to wait another 18 months or more, so a timely, model-year 2025 (MY25) refresh lands in the meantime.

And why not? The Y62 could be the last cheap-ish V8-powered 4WD, so let’s see how the changes stack up.

2025 Toyota Prado Summary

This is one of the most important models to come from Toyota in ages. You guessed it. It's the new LandCruiser Prado.

Why is it important? The Prado is now in its fifth generation and aside from some minor facelifts, it hasn't seen a proper update since 2009!

Toyota loves the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' design ethos, and it usually works as their SUVs remain some of the most popular in Australia. But after 15 years, we deserved a new one and we're testing the base GX grade to find out if it's been worth the wait.
