Welcome to the 300 Series Toyota Land Cruiser Vs Nissan Patrol Y62 comparison 2021. All new for 2021 but essentially you won’t be able to buy one until 2022 due to global tech shortages as a result it’s traditional arch rival the Nissan Patrol is a model you can buy due to availability and essential the only two competitors in the class.

300 Series Toyota Land Cruiser Vs Nissan Patrol Y62 exterior: We like the older and curvier Patrol front end has the design is more coherent. The latest edgier front end may be new and fits with the brands current styling theme but we don’t think it fits quite well with the older body styling. That said many did not like the prior design which was initially awkward but grew likeable over time.  The Land Cruiser is very conservative in comparison. Although the Nissan Patrol is larger both have plenty of space.

300 Series Toyota Land Cruiser Vs Nissan Patrol Y62 interior: The Land Cruiser interior looks and feels good but does not reflect it’s asking price. We must remind ourselves that this is not a ‘luxury’ or ‘prestige’ model in the traditional sense. The Nissan Patrol is likewise the same class positioning and has a nice interior it’s just not the latest in terms of design.

300 Series Toyota Land Cruiser Vs Nissan Patrol Y62 engines and technology: The new Land Cruiser has a state of art the turbo 6 cylinder diesel we’d boast about it having more power than the older V8 but that’s a given in 2021. It’s off road systems are class leading and durable do far. In comparison the Nissan Patrol has a relatively aged V8 engine and off road systems. We don’t hear too much about this Patrol for some reason – except for the high fuel consumption.

300 Series Toyota Land Cruiser Vs Nissan Patrol Y62 drive : N/A

The conclusion to the 300 Series Toyota Land Cruiser Vs Nissan Patrol Y62 is the Land Cruiser. These are the largest true off road vehicles you an buy with plenty of space and comfort only true luxury cars of the past had. The Patrol doesn’t win due purely due to the V8 engine which will send you broke and makes any sort of medium to long distance with cargo and off road work difficult to justify. The Patrol really needs a diesel to compete even considering the cheaper price.
