2026 Nissan E-NV200 Reviews

New car launches don’t get much bigger than the Y63 Nissan Patrol.The rugged four-wheel drive has been the darling of Aussie off-road enthusiasts and suburban families for years and the new Y63 version is due to land on Australian roads at the end of 2026.Americans don’t have to wait that long with the Patrol — called Armada in the US — due to go on sale this year.The Japanese brand has just revealed prices for the Armada in the US, which is sure to shock potential buyers.The Armada line-up kicks off at US$58,530 ($90,000), which is the exact same price as the outgoing version. Car companies keeping the price the same for an all new model is almost unheard of.It only applies to the base SV variant, though, and Australia doesn’t sell an equivalent version, instead offering better equipped variants.All other variants rise by less than US$2000 ($3000), which is still a bargain when you look at the extra gear and engineering that has gone into the Y63 Patrol.If this strategy carries across to Australia it could point to a $100,000 starting price, which would put the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series on serious notice.The LandCruiser 300 Series was between $7000 and $10,000 more expensive than the 200 Series it replaced.The Y63 Patrol is built on a new platform and is bigger in almost every way. It is now 5205mm in length (+35mm), 2030mm in width (+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.Under the bonnet is a 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6 replacing the outgoing model’s 5.6-litre V8.This new engine muscles up compared to the outgoing model with outputs of 317kW and 700Nm, or 19kW and 140Nm more than before.It’s got some hi-tech suspension too, with the new Intelligent Dynamic Suspension system complete with air suspension that can give you another 7cm of lift. This also helps improve approach and departure angles when tackling properly tough terrain.It is expected to be able to tow the benchmark 3500kg, too.There is also a raft of tech upgrades including twin 14.3-inch screens, one for the multimedia and the other for the driver display.It’ll have a head-up display and be capable of over-the-air software updates.Not to mention the upgraded styling, with a muscular boxy physique that gives it plenty of presence on the road.We won’t know the official Australian prices of the Y63 Patrol until just before it launches at the end of 2026, but here’s hoping they follow the US’s lead.

Vehicle to grid tech is finally set to be approved for use nation-wide in Australia - but why is it and why should you care?
