Nissan Patrol test drive since 2010 SUV
Nissan Patrol test drive: Another direction
With the release of the new generation, the frame structure remained, but dependent pendants and a hard Part-Time connection of the front axle were replaced by single-handed monitoring, as well as an advanced electronic all-wheel drive All Mode 4x4 with an electronically controlled coupling, demultiplier and rear differential lock.
The first Nissan Patrol appeared back in 1951 and over the past 60 years, the principle of designing this SUV has remained unchanged. A powerful frame, unreasonable bridges, painful diesel engines, excellent cross -country ability and impressive reliability made a patrol a real icon among the off -road brothers. No wonder the Nissan Patrol to this day is used in difficult road conditions at different points in the globe with such a powerful international organization as the UN.
The new Nissan Patrol has retained the frame structure, but got rid of the uncertain bridges and the hard connection of the front.
However, time goes on, priorities and requirements for SUVs are being more and more inclined towards asphalt and controllability. Changed Patrol. With the release of the new generation, the frame structure remained, but dependent pendants and a hard Part-Time connection of the front axle were replaced by single-handed monitoring, as well as an advanced electronic all-wheel drive All Mode 4x4 with an electronically controlled coupling, demultiplier and rear differential lock.
The salon is not recognized. Covering expensive decoration materials, wood and leather. There was no trace of the former practicality.
The dimensions are similar to the new Infiniti QX, from which Nissan Patrol wrote. The length of the SUV increased to 5 140 mm (+95 mm), the wheelbase increased to 3 075 mm (+105 mm). The appearance is also matching: from an angular simpler, the patrol turned into a solid colossus, which differs from its luxury infiniti counterpart only by the design of individual elements.
The design of the new Nissan Patrol is largely intersects with the new Infiniti QX, with which they share not only the general base, but also a lot of units.
The salon has changed dramatically. Instead of chopped shapes and practical hard plastic, smooth lines, expensive skin and wood. The office was replaced by a luxurious office. All panels are made of soft plastic to the touch, the floor is trimmed with beige pile, and twists and keys received glamorous chrome lining. The rear row passengers will appreciate not only the mass of free space, but also a separate climate control unit.
On the back row, there is a climate control block. The sofa has an adjustment of the back of the back.
On the third row, even adult passengers will comfortably accommodate, and if desired here you can sit down and three. The trunk volume with a lifting gallerine is 550 liters, and having folded both back rows of seats, you can get an impressive cargo compartment of 3,170 liters. In the best traditions of premium class, the fifth door is equipped with an electric drive.
With the three rows of seats raised, the volume of the Nissan Patrol trunk is 550 liters. If the seats are folded, you get an impressive cargo compartment with a volume of more than 3 cubic meters.
In parking, a circular review system helps, transmitting a picture from four video cameras located around the perimeter of the car. You can pamper a rumor with an excellent audio system with the ability to connect USB and IPOD, and the leisure of the rear passengers will help to brighten up a multimedia system with two monitors in the front head restraints.
Now the Nissan Patrol is non -alternatively equipped only by a 5.6 -liter V8 gasoline with a capacity of 405 hp. The gearbox is also one - a 7 -speed machine.
This supply of Nissan Patrol electronics is not exhausted. The new generation of the SUV is equipped with a climate control with the so-called air curtain system. In the ceiling above each of the side windows, separate fans are located, creating air flows directed downward. Thus, for example, in warm times, cool air walks along the plane of glazing, which contributes to the more efficient operation of the climate control system and creates favorable conditions for passengers in hot weather. The useful function, taking into account the fact that the main market for Patrol is the Middle East with its scorching sun and heat for driviments.
A considerable height and great weight do not interfere with Patrol confidently feel on the asphalt. But even despite the proprietary Hydraulic Body Motion Control system with four hydraulic cylinders between racks and the vibration body, it was not possible to avoid irregularities.
Under the hood of the Nissan Patrol, a 5.6 -liter gasoline V8 is located, which is paired with a seven -speed automatic gearbox. The 405-horsepower monster endows a heavy SUV with excellent dynamics. With passport 6.6 seconds up to hundreds of Patrol will give a start to any competitor. Moreover, Patrol accelerates equally powerfully and from a place and from 100 km/h. But this agility directly depends on the level of the fuel pointer, which inexorably falls along with each press on the accelerator. Even in calm mode, fuel consumption is difficult to lower below 20 liters per 100 km of path, but if you go with a breeze, then a 100-liter tank is barely enough for 400 km.
The central console is made in the Nissan -style corporate party. Already in the base there is navigation and an excellent audio system. In the top modification for 3,249,000 rubles for the rear passengers, a multimedia system with two monitors in the head restraints is offered.
The seven -speed machine operates smoothly. The transition to the lowered occurs without visible delays and delays, but in Kik-Dawn mode, the jumps of several steps down are accompanied by a small jerk. For especially attractive automatic transmission, there is a manual mode.
On the Nissan Patrol highway, it goes like rails. The chassis swallows small joints and irregularities unnoticed by passengers. Large Patrol pits also take place with a sufficient reserve of reliability, but the engineers failed to avoid the body fluctuations even using the new Hydraulic Body Motion Control (HBMC). It consists of four hydraulic cylinders through which shock absorbers are attached to the body. With the help of two accumulators, not only the rigidity of the suspension changes, but also the progress of the unloaded wheel is adjusted. In fact, the Hydraulic Body Motion Control presses the wheels to the road.
Despite the fact that the new Patrol has overgrown with premium and glamor, its off-road qualities are still on top.
As a result, for the almost 3-ton high Nissan Patrol SUV, it stands well on the arc and willingly refuel in a turn, while the smoothness remains actually ideal, and the rolls are quite moderate. The main rival of the current Toyota Land Cruiser 200 patrol is equipped with a similar system, with the only difference being that Toyota has adjustable rigidity of transverse stabilizers is designed to increase suspensions and improve patency, while the Hydraulic Body Control Nisana helps more when driving an asphalt.
The circular video review system helps to navigate close parking lots. The chrome ring of the washer of the all -wheel drive system is responsible for the forced connection of all -wheel drive, and the keys inside it can be selected one of the four modes: snow, sand, road or stones. Depending on the selected mode, the sensitivity of the gas pedal changes, as well as the settings of the stabilization system, etc.
Despite the asphalt manners and a clear change in priorities, the new generation of Nissan Patrol is well prepared for movement outside the roads. The SUV is equally confidently rushing both on the rolled primer and along the field. The reactions to the actions of the steering wheel occur with the expected delay, but the vibration on the lamb from the bumpy areas are minimal.
The price of Nissan Patrol in Russia starts from a mark of 3,085,000 rubles. For comparison, Toyota Land Cruiser 200 in a similar configuration will cost 3,100,000 rubles.
I go into a fragmented track. I translate the puck of the ALL Mode 44 branding system into 4h mode, press the key to block the rear inter -ceiling differential, and Patrol persistently crawls through the mud until the road tires were clogged with clay. By the way, in addition to the standard AUTO, 4H and lower 4L in the patrol modes, you can choose the type of coating, depending on which gas response and transmission modes, stabilization systems, etc. are changing. For example, in snow mode, gas responses become more smooth to prevent excess slipping, and by switching the accelerator to the sand, on the contrary, begins to react sharply even to the slightest pressing on the pedal.
With the release of the seventh generation, Nissan Patrol began its development in a completely different direction, where the mega-popular Toyota Land Cruiser 200 became its main competitor. In addition, the Luxury-Brate of Infiniti QX, which enjoys brand authority in Russia, takes part of the potential buyers from the patrol.
The base price of the Nissan Patrol in Russia is 3,085,000 rubles. For a surcharge of 164,000 rubles, an SUV can be received by intellectual cruise control and a multimedia system for rear passengers. For comparison, Toyota Land Cruiser 200 costs almost as much 3,100,000 rubles. But Toyota has a diesel version, which accounts for almost half of the sales, and the main consumers of Patrol from the Middle East with their penny prices for fuel are quite satisfied with the gluttonous gasoline V8. Therefore, the prospects of the patrol in Russia are foggy, at least until a diesel arises in its arsenal.
