Better late than never: 2024 Nissan Patrol updated in Australia with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto coming to $3K dearer Toyota LandCruiser rival

Five years after the Middle Eastern market, Australia’s 2024 Nissan Patrol update brings a new dash fascia with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. 

Except that the new 10.1-inch screen doesn’t sit above the dash as seen in other markets, because Nissan Australia has worked with local company Directed Technologies to effectively carry out an especially neat head unit replacement. 

There are a few other upgrades, too, including a digital rear-view mirror, wireless charging pad, DAB+ radio, front seat cool box (new to Ti) and both USB-A and USB-C charge ports. The price increase over the MY23 model is $3000 for all trims, including Warrior.

Worth noting is that the Ti-L’s 13-speaker Bose sound system has been downsized to a six-speaker Infinity set-up for the MY24 Patrol. 

Other cabin changes are limited to a storage cubby in place of the MY23’s Patrol’s 8.0-inch non-touch display for the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series rival.

For those keen to explore the outback in the MY24 Patrol, the new multimedia system comes pre-installed with Hema maps, a trusted navigation software with detailed information. A month’s subscription is free, with ongoing pricing to be paid to Hema by the owner.

Aside from that, the Y62 Patrol is largely unchanged with its 298kW/560Nm 5.6-litre V8 petrol, seven-speed automatic and full-time 4WD system enabling tried-and-true off-road capability and a 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity.

The Ti-based Premcar-fettled Warrior builds on this with bespoke suspension, wheel and tyre upgrade, snorkel, bi-modal exhaust and tough-looking body protection. 

Despite its 13-year (global, 11-year Australian) vintage, the Y62 Patrol’s sales record was set in September 2023. A turbo V6-powered ‘Y63’ Patrol is expected to debut in 2025 based on the Infiniti QX60.
