Some will be surprised to hear that the sixth-generation Nissan Patrol was introduced more than 13 years ago. Codenamed "Y62," the SUV received its first facelift in mid-2014 before going under the knife once again in 2019. While a performance Nismo derivative has been around for many years, it's only now that the body-on-frame SUV is getting a tougher all-terrain version. It's called the "Warrior" and made its debut this week in Australia.
Joining the Navara Warrior in the Land Down Under, the jacked-up Patrol gets plastic body cladding around the wheel arches. It sits 50 millimeters (nearly two inches) higher than the regular variant on unique 18-inch two-tone wheels wrapped around in Yokohama Geolander A/T tires. The new Patrol Warrior gets a side-exit exhaust and an assortment of glossy black accents to replace the chrome trim.
