Nissan Patrol test drive since 2010 SUV

Nissan Patrol test drive: a large ship is a big swimming ...

Kolesa.ru portal went on a short flight at the helm of the largest and most luxurious Nissan land yacht. As a result, I learned how this yacht floats in dirty water, how much cognac will fit in its hold and whether it is easy to dodge it from the iceberg.

Fans of mud baths and impenetrable swamps in disorder. Suitable transport for your favorite entertainment is becoming smaller and less. This year, lovers of offrout entertainment did not read Nissan Patrol. Changing boots-boaters to lacquered shoes, and a waterproof protective costume for an expensive leather jacket, a cartridge with a delay, but still arrived at a social party in the pier large luxury SUVs.

Mastodont, Bruilia, Giant - call this almost three -ton car, two meters tall, you can. He does not care. The cartridge, like the African elephant, will look at you with its small eyes-pharary with complete indifference and calm, realizing its superiority.

To give even greater solidity, the Japanese SUV thoroughly led it with fat: a smooth large body does not have a single adjusting stamping, supplementing the image with the second chin of the front bumper. Still, because physical activity is no longer in status.

Lying in the drift
Opening the massive front door with a massive handle, you don’t get into the salon - you go, like on board the expensive yacht, falling into the glossy kingdom of light skin. I admit, I even looked at my shoes: it was a little sorry to step on a light-cream pile with a dusty sole.

Sitting in a flat chair will only be convenient for a person similar to the cartridge of dimensions. For me, it is too large and, moreover, highly delivered: I want to sink just below, but the electric drives rest on the limiter. The overflow of high-quality leather-dererial interior decoration continues the yacht theme of the patrol, where the driver from the high captain’s bridge, slightly shaking the large helm from side to side, degre up, observes everything that happens around.

Moreover, Nissan Patrol is able to lie down on the course in almost autopilot mode. The Japanese mastodon, refined by sster sensors, can maintain a distance to the walking car in front of the carrier-controlled car, and, moreover, focusing on the marking, monitors the position on the road, independently returning to a given trajectory. Navigation and four camcorders of a circular review also help to navigate in space.

But the control of an off -road arsenal, turned into a puck with buttons, removed away from the eyes, under the right hand. Although there is a rigid connection of the front axle, and lowering the gear, and even blocking the rear differential, in the new representative hypostasis of the cartridge, all these things are rather a tribute to the memory of the ancestors. In the best case, the future owner will try to translate an SUV from Auto mode to one of the three movement programs: dirt, snow or stones - and even then, for the sake of interest.

The passenger compartment of the giant can be described with a formula of 3+2. And, if belonging to the number 3, the rear sofa is a spacious cabin with two monitors of an entertainment multimedia system, then +2 is a cramped cuber with two layered (and manually) seats. But the hold is good for any number of passengers on board. And if you leave only the captain and the Starpom, then the cruise Japanese liner turns into a cargo galleon, capable of transferring 3,170 liters, for example, expensive French cognac ...

Full forward!
Only the cartridge is in no hurry to lull on the asphalt waves: the assembled elastic suspension of the car is very delicately, but clearly conveys the entire profile of the roadway to the salon. But on high -speed turns allows you to work as a heaviest to the appearance of the Uvar to work real miracles. The fault of this is the Hydraulic Body Motion Control - a smart hydraulic system of suppressing any tilt of the body: the patrol is almost completely spared both from the rolls and the diphthants. Only the treacherous screech of tires, slipping in the turn, recalls that no one has yet canceled the laws of physics.

I am dissatisfied with sound insulation. And for the first time, not because it is bad, but with accuracy on the contrary - too good. Shumka, in addition to extraneous sounds, completely drowses the noble roar of a V-shaped eight-cylinder engine with a volume of 5.6 liters. Even with a gaze pour, a frantic herd of 405 heads, you have to listen to a frantic herd. Of course, of course, there is no speech about any lack of traction with such a motor. 560 atmospheric Newton meters, distributed between the seven (!) Steps of automatic transmission, is always enough and under any circumstances.

And the circumstances we tested different, including outside the asphalt. On the country road, the elastic suspension turned out to be a real assistant, making it clear what the obstacle is at the moment at the cartridge under the wheels. An uninformative air steering wheel with empty zero on the asphalt, in high -speed off -road mode, did not break out of his hands, allowing to easily lead a large car without distracting steering.

Suddenly bragging in front of a huge ditch, we thought for a second, and whether to dip a pathos jeep into the mud. Of course! No matter how glamorous he becomes, this is the devil, Nissan Patrol! The 2 745-kilogram slope with a calm calm flopped into the mud bath, almost washing the raised wave of our photographer. And ... as if nothing had happened, I went ashore. After repeating the procedure for the most advantageous frame three more, we were convinced that the extra -Axatal elements remained in the memory of the once serious all -terrain vehicle.

Only a mud mask that completely covered the car, and even against the background of village landscapes, is no longer to face. The protected parking of a business center is a new habitat, polished to shine, the largest Nissan.

How much are yachts now?
Today you can buy a land Japanese yacht for 3,085,000 rubles. That is how much the luxurious basic version of the Nissan Patrol costs with all the attributes of the luxury car and the only V8 5.6 engine, with a capacity of 405 hp. Not enough hatch, monitors in the headrests and intellectual cruise control? - 3,249,000 rubles and all this will be at your disposal.
