However, the Nissan Patrol has a long history of being a ruggedly reliable and off road capable vehicle, particularly in the Middle East and Australia. The buzz around the new Y63 model has been about more luxurious features and modern design. Parts of the community say its utility is disappearing, while others state it's evolving and adapting. There is no basic cloth interior available on the new model, which also sports air suspension and a full digital dash. It's also much larger than any previous generation. This kind of design philosophy shift has raised questions among the Patrol enthusiasts of whether the new model has the soul of Patrol or is it just another luxury SUV?
