Nissan Patrol (2005) - Next Car Pty Ltd - 12th October, 2004 A Revitalised Design for Nissan's 2005 Patrol 2005 Nissan Patrol 12th October, 2004 A revitalised design for Nissan’s 2005 Patrol Nissan’s legendary Patrol four-wheel drive wagon has received extensive internal and external design upgrades, a new specification structure and new pricing for the 2005 model year. In addition, a revision to the popular 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine of the Patrol has increased power by 3.4% to 118kW and torque by 7.3% to 380 Nm on manual transmission models to improve on-road performance and off-road ability. According to Shiro Nakamura, Senior Vice President and Head of Design for Nissan Motor Company, “The Patrol is known throughout the world as a hard working and authentic 4x4, but owners still expect a degree of comfort and luxury. The new Patrol provides them with the best of both worlds.” And true to the design blueprint, the 2005 Patrol delivers luxury, comfort and genuine four-wheel drive capability in spades. Central to the new-look 2005 Patrol are the extensive external changes that go well beyond what’s expected of a conventional facelift. Every exterior panel, bar the roof, has been changed on all seven-seat variants.

There’s a bold new face with Nissan’s trademark “four-wheel drive family” grille, three-dimensional headlamps and revised front fender and bonnet. A new look rear- end incorporates an integrated rear bumper and newly designed rear license plate finisher. In profile, the prominent front and rear over-fenders, integrated side steps and new 17-inch alloy wheels give the Patrol a whole new look. But perhaps the biggest changes can be found inside the vehicle. Although the Patrol remains a tough off-road vehicle at heart, the 2005 Patrol has an all-new interior featuring better quality materials, greater comfort and more equipment.
The principal interior change is a completely new dashboard assembly with affords a more contemporary look and incorporates a new instrument panel, shut-vents, and a centralised C-Cluster. The seats have been redesigned to provide greater comfort and support and new Alcantara and leather trim are available on selected models. A new centre console with higher armrest, new trim and door handles contribute to the high levels of occupant comfort. An all-new satellite navigation system with rear-facing camera has been included in the top-of-the-line variant, and is available as an option on all other seven-seat models. Rear-seat passengers aren’t forgotten either, with redesigned seating and an improved armrest cup-holder and handy flip-down table fitted to the rear of the front seat on selected variants.
Nissan’s Patrol wagon line-up has received a new gradient structure, with the five-seat DX and seven-seat ST, ST-S, ST-L and Ti variants making up the range. DX and ST variants are powered by Nissan’s popular and now improved ZD30 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine, or the rugged and reliable TD42 4.2-litre inter-cooled turbo diesel engine. The ST-S and ST-L are available with the additional choice of Nissan’s class-leading TB48 4.8-litre petrol engine, which generates an impressive 185kW @ 4800 rpm and 420Nm of torque @ 3600 rpm.
The luxurious Ti variant is available with the V8 beating 4.8-litre engine only. A five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission is available with the ZD30 engine, the TD42 engine receives the five-speed manual transmission and the TB48 engine is available with either a five-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode on ST-S and ST-L models. The Ti model receives the 5-speed auto with manual shift mode only. And Nissan’s formidable reputation for four-wheel driving capability in even the toughest conditions remains unchallenged, with the tried-and-true combination of a part-time four-wheel drive system, coil-spring suspension with front and rear stabilizer bars and impressive suspension stroke for greater wheel articulation standard across the range. The entry-level five-seat variant, the DX Patrol wagon, also receives a 2005 model year makeover with a modern new front bumper and extensive panel changes. The DX retains its current choice of either split rims with 7.50R168PR tyres (manual variants), spoked steel wheels with 235/80R16 tyres (automatic variants) or optional 265/70R16 wide wheels on both manual and auto variants.

The comfortable and practical interior of the DX Patrol wagon receives new cloth trim and maintains a high grade of passenger and driver appointments, including air-conditioning, drivers airbag, central locking, power mirrors and CD player as standard features. The seven-seat ST variant comes standard with the new 275/65R17 wheels and tyres, power windows, driver and passenger airbag, new moquette seat trim, cruise control (TB48 and TD42 versions only), CD player, keyless entry and colour coded bumpers.
Patrol’s new ST-S variant adds Alcantara seat trim, an ABS braking system and the new seat-back table, while the ST-L model offers the additional comfort and convenience of leather seat trim, power front seats and rear air-conditioning. But for the driver who wants it all, Nissan’s top-of-the-line Ti is the answer, with luxurious appointments rivalling far more expensive vehicles.
A satellite navigation system with rear camera, rear seat DVD system, in-dash six-stacker CD with six speakers, power tilt/slide sunroof and side impact airbags are all standard on Nissan’s prestigious four-wheel drive flagship. The 2005 Patrol will be available in a range of fashionable colours, including White, Platinum, Desert Gold, Burgundy and new colours Vintage Bronze, Blue Slate and Black Obsidian. Pricing for the 2005 Patrol ensures the vehicle continues to represent excellent value in the Australian market, with numerous specifications added to different variants, often at minimal – or no – increase to the recommended retail price of the previous model. For example, the TD42 ST variants now receive a passenger airbag at no additional cost, while the TB48 ST-S variant receives passenger airbag and ABS braking for the same price as the old model ST variant.
Paul Stead, director of sales and marketing at Nissan Australia, said the new-look Patrol provided the perfect mix of luxury, refinement and real-world driveability required by the modern four-wheel driver. “The all-terrain wagon market is constantly expanding, and market-savvy consumers know exactly what they want. The Patrol has provided class-leading value and performance for many years, and now it adds a stylish exterior and interior with unprecedented levels of comfort and luxury.” “In addition, the increased engine output on the popular 3.0-litre turbo diesel engine manual variants will be good news to Australian drivers,” Mr Stead said. 2005 Patrol pricing Variant Manual Automatic Patrol DX 3.0 $49,540 $52,540 Patrol DX 4.2 $56,180 N/a Patrol ST 3.0 $51,990 $54,990 Patrol ST 4.2 $58,990 N/a Patrol ST-S 3.0 $53,990 $56,990 Patrol ST-S 4.8 $54,190 $57,190 Patrol ST-S 4.2 $60,990 N/a Patrol ST-L 3.0 $58,240 $61,240 Patrol ST-L 4.8 $58,440 $61,440 Patrol ST-L 4.2 $65,240 N/a Patrol Ti 4.8 N/a $77,490 All pricing is recommended retail price and excludes dealer delivery and on-road costs.
