I have had my Patrol for nearly 2 months now (in the UAE) and so far I agree with most of what you said. I chose the 3.8 V6 and standard suspension as I plan to keep it for at least a decade and have no need for fancy features, only reliability. So far, here are some things I’ve found: 1) The car is very quiet at any speed but at above 90MPH (we have roads with 100MPH/160KMH speed limits) there is slightly more wind noise for rear passengers. I investigated and found that only the front had double glazing for the windows, which I was a bit disappointed about. That said, it is essentially a non-issue, and the sound system easily drowns it out. 2) The electric steering is quite dull, but that is to be expected with any modern car with electric steering. 3) The dual screen setup and heads up display is rather distracting (modern car issue). The sound system is extremely bass heavy and slightly muddy, but after playing with it a little I have found a setup I enjoy. 4) The build quality is very good, interior quality better than a Land Cruiser and comparable to a Land Rover Defender. The leather is great and the piano black is entirely free of scratches so far, but we will have to see about long term durability. 5) Occupant comfort is excellent. All seats are exceptionally comfortable and there are multiple charging ports for each passenger. Rear seats have an optional screen. Oddly, there is no integrated sunshade for the rear doors. Maybe they’ll add it later or for different markets, but I don’t have them on mine (fully loaded except air suspension) and I haven’t seen any with them. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask and I will try to answer them.
@ I don’t know about the North American market but in the Middle East it is more similar to the Land Cruiser than the American counterparts in terms of depreciation.
Given the demographic and use case. How long is the standard ownership? I've been a few times to the UAE. Dubai and whatnot. Do they do the USA corporate thing of buying or leasing and swapping after 3 years? Or would this be a long term ownership? From my seat this is one of the few modern vehicles that'll outlive it's "standard loan" in the USA and the value comes at exactly that. It'll be paid off and have years left. Vs some of these new Toyotas that are 80k and turn to piles after the 2nd year
I have the 2021 Nissan Armada SL with four wheel drive, and I just love this vehicle. It now has over 40,000 mi and I am very happy that I purchased the last of the V8 engines along with the seven speed automatic transmission which has proven extremely reliable for the past 30 years. The one thing I worry about the new Nissan Armada is the unproven reliability of the V6 with turbo and the nine speed automatic transmission. I hope there's no issues with it but I know that the Endurance V8 will last at least two to 300,000 mi maybe even longer
@@ivannadler1789 the 7 speed hasn’t been around for 30 years. It was introduced in 09 in the 370Z. reliability is maybe average. The 5 speed before it was the real goat. I hope yours is trouble free though.
Nissan's trucks and large SUVs are underrated, in my opinion. Imagine what position Nissan would be in today if they decided ten years ago to put the 7 speed auto in all their vehicles instead of the Jatco CVT.
The cvt didn't kill Nissan, stagnation and selling cheap cars did. Look at all the other manufacturers with overpriced junk like Ford and Toyota...they're doing great. Jatco has built over 55 million cvts. Acting like they all failed is like saying all 12 million Pentastar 3.6s failed when there's hundreds of thousands with over 200k miles on them with no issues. Consider that every beat up 2010 Altima you see doing 90mph on the highway missing wheel covers and half it's front bumper has at least 150k miles on it and never had the trans fluid changed.
@@stevee8318 CVT issues way overblown online. They are in their current position because they were averaging 1.5 million sales a year in China alone. In 2023 they only sold 98,000 vehicles in China. China is producing their own cars and Chinese people are gravitating towards the China brands now. China is the largest car market in the world.
@@Sheepleton There were no big problems with Nissan engines and their interiors are class competitive. Part of the reason Nissans are considered cheap is because the Jatco CVTs *were* cheap. Nissan paid hundreds of millions of $$ to settle lawsuits because they were defective, not because their customers failed to change the fluid.
To be honest, the outgoing model is pretty good off-road too, It lacks the locking diffs -- but then so do a lot of 4Runners. It would have no problems with the test course. We have a '21 SL to which we added AT tires and a front skid plate. We've done some kind of gnarly things out in the southwest (e.g. low and medium levels in OnX Offroad), and it's done very well. We got into some situations where the 4LO was definitely needed as was the front camera to see over steep rises. The new Pro-4X looks great, but the other models (and the previous years) are pretty capable too (even if very few owners use it for off-roading). Our '21 is also hella comfortable for long road trips. If you can't afford one of the new ones, maybe look at one coming off a rental lease -- you can get some pretty great deals on 2-3 year old versions.
@@faheemabbas3965it may be able to be ran with 87 octane, but doesn’t mean it should be. Direct injection, twin turbos, heavy vehicle, yeah this thing will be pre-detonating like crazy.

I hope Nissan can survive. With products like this, hopefully it gets more exposure in the market. Nissan can make some good vehicles if given a chance.
Hooking up with Renault and the Ghosn debacle sowed the seeds for Nissan’s current mess. Crappy CVTs also hurt. Let’s see who takes them over. This vehicle is a step in the right direction, hopefully it will prove relatively reliable.
It’s developed with heavy consideration for the Middle Eastern market. I am sure it will be very reliable, just short of a Land Cruiser. We just have to wait and see with the new turbo engine option and air suspension.
@@frederickmiller5492 You are right. I’ve actually had my Patrol in the UAE for almost 2 months now. I optioned it without the turbo engine and air suspension and so far it is good. I can live without those issues.

Bravo for using the Patrol Nissan! Hopefully this goes well for them. Wish it was cheaper, to force people into looking at them as an option, for those who are into these types of vehicles.
Only 5 min in and I can solemnly say from the frontier reception to marks review here. We are trying to give Nissan the best light of what it is. And you can see plainly from the interior. They are trying here. Will it be enough to help turn Nissan around? I don't know. But if the hardware is up to the same par as the frontier (or better) this will be a solid rig to actually buy and use for ten years. Nissan usa if you are reading this. Please give us the xterra based on the shortened frontier chassis. I think that's gonna be a real 4runner competitor and get Nissan back into the minds of the American buyer
Given what it's trying to do I'd take this over any gm products and I love the old trailblazers and suburbans. I just can't trust anything they make this side of 2015. Nissan fixed the big issue they had which was a severely dated interior. Am a fan
@@user1989fopfrs7perhaps…because of Nissan’s corporate issues, if Honda buys Nissan then it can turn Nissan into their truck and performance line…maybe?
Because nissans are really totally fine and well driving vehicles overal, but their refusal to do away with the god awful cvt and their willingness in the US to finance everyone and everything has gotten them down
I had rented the previous gen Armada once, enjoyed it alot. Its great to see Nissan moving towards the right direction. A company with so much heritage and history of making good cars ( and not so good ones). Regarding it having a lot of trch, that's the reality of a majority of brands now.
Vs. the “it rides so badly it gives me a migraine” rattly old nasty pickup Sequoia, as you described before, these are great to drive. Good timing to do a comparison (ala your recent 3 row crossovers one) but Armada vs Wagoneer vs. Expedition vs. Tahoe vs. Sequoia, especially since all are newly updated except for the archaic Sequoia & recent fresh Wag.
I want a the pro4x trim. Nissan has always made very good body on frame vehicles. Especially this one being related to the patrol, they won’t ever mess this one up because of the Middle East market.
@@stevensevek6151 I’m not familiar with those dunes but we have many people here in the Middle East who have taken them to the desert already. It is similar to the old one, that is to say it is very stable but rather heavy. Some people have started tuning the turbo engine and made ~450WHP with just downpipes and tuning.
Legit question - what will it be like with trying to get warranty claims handled on this if/when Nissan goes belly up in 2025? Something to consider, considering Nissan is on it’s back leg. Just closed/closing a ton of infinit dealers even. Nissan might be next…
They might close up Infiniti but I doubt Nissan will go belly up. GM went bankrupt but it's still here and getting stronger more than ever with their current trucks and future EVs.
@@khonjel_singh well GM got a fat American govt bailout. I haven't heard or read that Nissan is queued up for that - just rumblings that maybe Honda might step in and buy em/bail em. Which seems weird but that's all I've seen.
Nissan wont go belly up. Theyre making significant changes. New CEO for America, etc. If it gets to the point where they need investors, I wouldn't be surprised another automaker buys them out. Nissan is too much of a legacy brand to disappear imo. When they had ghosn as CEO, they were putting in good revenue, so the demand is there. Bad products and bad leaders are what's causing Nissan to do bad right now, and it seems like Nissan is changing things up lately
I miss the great 80s- 90s nissans. They used to be awesome. Damn near competitive with infinity (Nissan) and Toyota in the same years.... Nissan uses to give a F. Now they are just .........
Definitely better than the previous Armada. The interior is much more in line with the new Suburban, Tahoe, and Wagoneer. Speaking of the Suburban, do y’all have plans to review the updated 2025 Suburban in the near future? I’d be down to see an entire review of that vehicle from you guys.
This felt a bit too much like a commercial.....Could you do a direct comparison with the Ford expedition? And maybe mention some of the reliability for both?
They are the only full size SUV that I know of that lets to move the second row while having a car seat attached which is huge. We have a 23 Tahoe and 2 kids rear facing my 5 year old has to either climb through the hatch or wait for us to move the front seats around for him to get through.
Love it when you're in TN for filming! I was out at Leiper's Fork riding this past weekend but went left back on to the Trace instead of continuing straight as you did in the road test portion. Hope you had a good time down here.
Very cool seeing you drive around where I grew up. I know every road you're on. Very brave doing the acceleration run right by the park ranger station. :)
I have been in the market for a full size SUV for over 4 yrs now, still driving around my 2003 Sequoia. The new Sequoia is a disappointment. This looks promising, but I'll wait to get a 1 yr used one for 40% off.
Can’t wait for dedicated offroad content for the Pro 4x. It’s got a massive amount of competition it needs to catch up to in this segment since they’ve never advertised the Patrols capability.
I've owned a number of Nissan products over the years without trying to own the mark. The last was 2004, but I have always found Nissan a comfortable, good driving product.
@@hdaviator9181my company owned a fleet of 2018-2020 QX60’s (Infiniti, but still a Nissan) and they were incredibly reliable and comfortable. We had an unlimited mileage, 3 year lease and some had upwards of 275k miles on them when returned. Personally, I’ll keep my 2021 Toyota Sequoia.
I don’t see gaps between the steering wheel controls. Is the steering wheel capacitive with haptic feedback like an iPhone 7 home button or does it physically rock like a D-pad on a videogame controller?
I like what they are doing. They seam to be really trying here. My main gripe is all of the cameras that are then linked to google. Who know what they are doing with that data. I don't want a camera to be watching me while driving.

Can’t wait for dedicated offroad content for the Pro 4x. It’s got a massive amount of competition it needs to catch up to in this segment since they’ve never advertised the Patrols capability.
I'm sure the data from the interior camera won't ever be used nefariously or against the user's consent.
It looks like an old Ford expedition
8:20 I thought we were about to see a Tux Mats ad for a second.
used to look like a 4wd now it looks like a family suv
Really wish we could see them try this hard on a sedan platform. It's nice but I could never daily an SUV
We’ll see what the next generation Sentra will have, considering Altima and Maxima are dead 😢
@air-headedaviator1805 I mean it's a sentra, it's not getting any better other than maybe the drivetrain.
I’ll stick to buying Yukons. Nissan as a company is near bankruptcy I read.
Good for NISSAN. 👍
These are actually great , I’d love one.
Why did they stitch the Mitsubishi logo into the seat upholstery.
I've owned a number of Nissan products over the years without trying to own the mark. The last was 2004, but I have always found Nissan a comfortable, good driving product.
You owned a Nissan before they took the business decision of becoming garbage.
@@hdaviator9181my company owned a fleet of 2018-2020 QX60’s (Infiniti, but still a Nissan) and they were incredibly reliable and comfortable. We had an unlimited mileage, 3 year lease and some had upwards of 275k miles on them when returned. Personally, I’ll keep my 2021 Toyota Sequoia.
Nissan gets a lot of hate they don’t deserved.
I don’t see gaps between the steering wheel controls. Is the steering wheel capacitive with haptic feedback like an iPhone 7 home button or does it physically rock like a D-pad on a videogame controller?
I actually really like this a lot
This is what the Toyota landcruiser should have been..... but nah
You should have shown more but crack Mark. Sex sells brother.
I love these, but the uncertainty of Nissans future is too unsettling to invest.
Bah, Nissan will be fine. Infiniti will die for sure though. Mitsubishi didn’t die, right?
I would buy this over a Sequoia every day and twice on Sunday.
Resale
What a great product. Well done Nissan
Should Toyota buy these engines & transmissions from Nissan?
Nissan! Mopar of the east.
Real, tho Toyota has more V8s lol
@@air-headedaviator1805they don’t anymore, just Twin Turbo V6’s that blow up
@@Get_yotted This literally has a TTV6
Hello sir
I still like GX 460 but gx new generation still good or …. Cause I like v8 please 🙏 details .
Thanks
Nice update! But "an IR camera to manage climate control" may be the dumbest thing I've ever seen on a car.
I like what they are doing. They seam to be really trying here. My main gripe is all of the cameras that are then linked to google. Who know what they are doing with that data. I don't want a camera to be watching me while driving.
Inside sensors that measure my body temp to aid cabin climate control. Ok...they jumped the shark.
Not new technology to be fair. Lexus Climate Concierge has been a thing for a while and uses over a dozen sensors
