Spy shots of the new Nissan Patrol reveals wagon’s styling cue taken from the Terranaut concept. Photo Gallery
Micro-size digital cameras have become a nightmare for car companies.
Hastily taken, grainy snaps of future models tend to pop up everywhere, as Nissan found out last week.
A quick-thinking person at a dealer convention in the Middle East fired off a few shots of the next-generation Patrol off-roader, which is not due out until next year.
As the photo shows, the big wagon borrows cues from the Terranaut concept show wagon with its upswept rear window and less boxy look.
The Murano-like front is sleek and the Patrol pays a passing complement to the Land Rover Sport with its mudguard air vents.
The Patrol is expected to carry over its body-on-frame construction with new more powerful engines and transmissions.
There is likely to be arange-topping 5.6-litre V8 with a seven-speed gearbox, as well as a V6 petrol and a 3.0-litre V6 dCi turbo-diesel powerplant shared with Renault, Nissan's partner.
