The 2018 Nissan Patrol Ti-L is the flagship version of the current Patrol, arriving as a facelifted update that adds equipment and refinement to an established formula. The 5.6-litre V8 petrol engine produces 298 kW and 560 Nm of torque, with an official fuel consumption of 14.4 litres per 100 km that reflects the substantial nature of the vehicle.
The Ti-L offers a premium cabin experience with seven seats and a comprehensive feature list. As a large 4WD, it is built for buyers who need genuine off-road capability alongside long-distance highway comfort, and the V8 provides the reserves of power to handle both with ease.
The main conversation around the Patrol in 2018 centres on its petrol-only lineup at a time when diesel engines dominate the large 4WD segment. Toyota's Landcruiser offers diesel options that many buyers in this segment prefer. The Patrol Ti-L's V8 petrol is a compelling engine, but the absence of diesel is a point worth considering for outback-focused buyers.
