Off-road vehicle "Nissan-Patrol" of the 6th generation: the SUVs are not the place!

For the first time the Japanese SUV "Nissan-Patrol" was born in 1951. At that time, this car was created for the needs of the army and in its external appearance resembled a Willys jeep. Release of the next generation was carried out with a large interval. Gradually the car "Nissan-Patrol" began to be produced not for army purposes, but for civilians. So, significant renovations took place in 1960, 1980, 1988, and 1998. Six years later, the sixth generation of legendary off-road cars entered the world market. This model has not lost its popularity even after its removal from mass production.

Design

As the driver's testimonies assure, "Nissan-Patrol-6" is a purely male car with its own features and character. And indeed, its forms and lines are not at all the same as they are today, they are rough, massive and truly off-road. Outside, the car has a minimum of unnecessary parts. Large rectangular headlights of the main light, a preloaded bumper with integrated fog lights, a proprietary radiator grille with a huge company logo. "Muscular" wheel arches and rapids only add masculinity to the image of "Nissan-Patrol-6."

Interior

In the inner part also has its own characteristics. Today we are used to comparing Nissan-Patrol with some elite, hefty crossover, but with the 6th generation the situation is quite different. In the cabin everything is very simple and very clear for the driver, here a minimum of electronic systems and "bloat." Even the on-board computer is missing. Inside the car is simply created for conquest of distant off-road trails and dangerous obstacles. Restyling in 2004 brought in the interior of many changes.

The architecture of the front panel has changed, the color design has become more extensive, and the finishing materials are more qualitative. By the way, many drivers note the presence of a large free space between the seats. In general, the 5-meter SUV "Nissan-Patrol" really deserves the attention of true fans of off-road routes (and yet it is not for those who want to get a glamorous SUV with a mass of electronic systems and "lotion" at half the cost of the jeep itself).

Specifications

The car is equipped with two engines. Of these, petrol is a 245-horsepower engine with a working volume of 4.8 liters. Such an aggregate can accelerate the car to a maximum of 190 kilometers per hour. Turbodizel with a volume of 3.0 liters develops a capacity of 160 horsepower. This unit is supplied with either a four-band "automatic" or a five-step "mechanics".

As for fuel consumption, here the all-wheel drive SUV is by no means the first in terms of economy. Like modern SUVs, Nissan-Patrol has fuel consumption around the city of about 25 liters per 100 kilometers. On the highway the car is more economical - fifteen liters per "hundred". As for the turbodiesel, it is rather an exception to the rules, since it is this engine that absorbs no more than 9 liters in the suburban and 14 liters - in the urban mode. Therefore, the petrol engine is less popular than the diesel one.
