Car Profiles - Nissan Patrol Royale

NISSAN PATROL ROYALE

Essentially the latest model Patrol (the sixth in the series) fitted a gasoline engine and lots of gadgets. You get the space, you get the presence, and you get the power but consumption is very poor. As they say, with great power comes great responsibility.

The Good: Powerful V8 engine
The Bad: Cramped third row bench

Price Range: P4,995,000
Our Rating: *
