New 2025 Nissan Patrol - Better than Land Cruiser??
Infiniti has made headlines with its latest announcement about the newest QX80, positioning it as a luxurious counterpart to the Patrol. One of the most significant changes is the introduction of a brand-new 3.5-liter twin-turbo petrol V6 engine, replacing the current 5.6-liter naturally-aspirated V8. This upgrade results in a notable power boost, with the new model generating 450 horsepower, an increase of 50 horsepower compared to the current Patrol V8. Moreover, torque sees a substantial increase of 102 pound-feet, now reaching 514 pound-feet.
Comparatively, when stacked against the LandCruiser 300 twin-turbo diesel, the QX80 boasts an additional 145 horsepower, albeit falling slightly short by 1.5 pound-feet in terms of torque. Additionally, when compared to the Lexus LX600 twin-turbo petrol V6, the QX80 offers 40 horsepower more power and 37 pound-feet more torque.
To complement the new engine, an upgraded nine-speed torque-converter automatic transmission will be installed, replacing the current seven-speed unit. This wider gear ratio promises to enhance acceleration and fuel efficiency, ultimately delivering more responsive performance on the road. The new 3.5-liter twin-turbo engine, codenamed 'VR35DDT,' is an enhanced version of the 3.0-liter twin-turbo 'VR30DDT' engine found in the Nissan Z sports car, promising a blend of power and efficiency.
Furthermore, the Infiniti QX80 will feature new amenities such as air suspension with adaptive dampers, aimed at providing a quieter cabin environment due to increased torsional rigidity. Teased by the Infiniti QX Monograph concept unveiled in mid-2023, the upcoming QX80 will offer a detailed glimpse into the anticipated 'Y63' Nissan Patrol, set to debut in Australia by 2025.
While both vehicles share some design similarities, spy shots suggest that the Patrol will sport traditional door handles and larger headlights, while the QX80 will opt for hidden handles and slimmer headlights. Additionally, a production-ready Patrol prototype showcased to US dealers bears a striking resemblance to the Range Rover, featuring a more robust aesthetic with updated headlights and tail-lights. The interior has also undergone a complete revamp.
The 2025 Infiniti QX80 is scheduled to make its debut on March 21, Australian time, just ahead of the New York Auto Show. Likewise, the 2025 Nissan Patrol is expected to be unveiled in the coming months.
