Welcome to the 250 Series Toyota land Cruiser Prado Vs Nissan Patrol Y62 Comparison for 2025. As per usual we are doing a series of the new Landcruiser Prado vs the rest of the world comparisons. Hopefully it is give you some useful information in your research to find a new SUV for your garage or driveway. The Nissan Patrol is not the first model you’d think of comparing against the new Toyota Prado to but the prices do cross over so worth a comparison.
250 Series Toyota land Cruiser Prado Vs Nissan Patrol exterior design: The design base for both models are quite different, the Prado is a retro modern take of any number of past Land Cruisers and the Patrol is similar to it’s box like past but now has curves applied to it. The Patrol is clearly larger than the Prado and it doesn’t try to hide it’s size but chose to apply some deliberately challenging panel curves to intentionally uglify the design. This is not needed as the Patrol is already physically imposing.
250 Series Toyota land Cruiser Prado Vs Nissan Patrol interior : Since the Nissan Patrol is noticeable larger on the outside it’s interior is no different so there is plenty of space. Designed in the early 2010s the interior is conventional but improved with higher quality plastics and garnish panels, it does look upmarket even after 10 years but it is clearly a little dated compared to the latest interior designs. The latest Prado interior design is a departure from the more conservative designs for prior models but arguably more individual or trendy and tougher layout. Thankfully its doesn’t go the landscape screen layout so common any now passe design used by so many others.
250 Series Toyota land Cruiser Prado Vs Nissan Patrol engines and technology : The Nissan Patrol has 2 key selling points they are size and the V8 petrol engine. V8s are a rare thing in 2025 and arguably the last of them. The Prado has the latest tech in terms of a hybrid turbo diesel which is the way of the future due to the price of petrol which continues to increase and that we will run out of oil eventually so should try to use a little as possible.
The conclusion and winner of the 250 Series Toyota land Cruiser Prado Vs Nissan Patrol is neither. The price of either vehicles are in the same ball park which is expensive even in the current inflation driven climate of 2025. However if you do have an overriding need for large and very off road capable SUV then these two are worth considering. If you are considering buying for the brand or model image then the Prado will always com out on top.
