Prado Vs Patrol
Last Updated: 17 June 2010

I put this page up so that you can compare the Landcruiser Prado to the Nissan Patrol.  Not exactly a 'equal' comparison but still valid since both are priced in the category.

If you view the technical specifications of both models the are quite different. . Specifications are for 2008 models.

Of course technical similarities do not always mean that superior specifications means better performance.  Real life experience with both models are needed to judge properly.
 

The Nissan Patrol has been available in its current model cycle for about 10 years. Very few cars have that sort of longevity! Not many improvements or technical changes have been made to the basic model for various reasons.  It is also not for sale in many countries.

Like the other models on this site both 5 door and 3 door SWB version are available.

Note that specifications will change according to the trim models available and additional or less accessories.  You should check the official Nissan website for your country for the most up to date information.
