Nissan has confirmed its incoming Y63 Patrol will have six variants to choose from in Australia.
The carmaker confirmed the line-up after it accidentally sent placeholder information live on its public website but has since been taken down, according to a Nissan Australia spokesperson.
Images of the six-tier line-up were shared on social media showing the potential choices.

“While the content was not intended for public release and included placeholder information used during website development, we can confirm the all-new Patrol will be offered in six well-specified grades in Australia,” said a Nissan spokesperson.
“The grade names may not be exactly as shown in the screenshots, and some of the information is placeholder content rather than final product details.
“We'll share the official model lineup and key specifications later this month.”
Y63 Patrol v LandCruiser 300 Series
It is no coincidence that it matches the six-tier Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series, with the two expected to go toe-to-toe for Australian 4WD customers.
The Patrol appears to top out with a luxury focused version, with the more off-road focused Pro-4X variant one rung down.
This flips the script on the LandCruiser, which tops its line-up with the rough-and-tumble GR Sport grade with the full fruit Sahara ZX next variant down.
There is no Nismo version, which is available in the US and the Middle East, shown in the leaked line-up. And Australia is expected to gain a Warrior version created by local outfit Premcar in time.
The Y63 Patrol is already here
CarsGuide spotted an uncamouflaged version of the Patrol was spotted driving through Melbourne CBD this week ahead of its early 2027 launch date.
This is after numerous sightings of covered-up versions undertaking local testing ahead of its on sale date.
The brand confirmed order books for the new 4WD will open before the end of August, with prices and full specification to be reveal then.
Nissan Patrol Y63, what we know
Nissan swaps out the Y62’s 5.6-litre eight-cylinder petrol unit for a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol making 317kW and 700Nm, or 19kW and 140Nm more than before.
The Y63 Patrol is built on a new platform and is bigger in almost every way. It is now 5205mm long (+35mm), 2030mm wide (+35mm), though the 1955m height remains unchanged.
It’s also bigger in the third row, thanks to the rear section and boot being 30 per cent wider than in the Y62.
It’s got some high-tech suspension too, with the air suspension system allowing the car to raise up an additional 70mm. This helps improve approach and departure angles when tackling properly tough terrain.
