I don't believe that the Y61 had an isofix option, I also looked up the brochure and found nothing mentioned so it means it's not there.

You can check your rear seats and look for the isofix points, usually there is a mark on the seat like the below.

FAMILY CAR REVIEW: 2020 New Y62 Nissan Patrol

A spacious and smooth suv and family 4x4.

NOTE: We've updated this review as officially the Y62 Nissan Patrol only has three top tether anchorages for installing child seats (two in the second row and one in the third row).

BabyDrive Verdict

The 2020 Nissan Patrol has had a facelift on the outside and it looks great!

This enormous eight-seater hasn't changed much on the inside though! I tested the bottom spec 2020 Patrol Ti model which was a shame because I didn't get to play with one of the top-spec Ti-L model's new rearview mirror that shows your reversing camera image. I also missed out on the Ti-L's heated and cooled seats and instead were a row of ugly plastic blanks. The good news is that improved AEB and boosted airflow to the third-row seats are across all models, which I did get to experience.

Compared to the swish and hi-tech new interior (with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) on Patrols sold overseas, the Australian Nissan Patrol really hasn't changed inside. On the upside, is incredibly spacious and nice inside compared to most big off-road vehicles. The faux wood is a little cheesy and the dash is cluttered with buttons and dials that are incorporated into the slick pair of media screens built into the revamped dashboard of overseas versions.

Spot the difference?

The 2020 Patrol's media system is dated and very basic and the number of controls for it on the dash is overwhelming, I am not sure if I'd ever get used to what they do!

The Nissan Patrol Ti does have a lot of fantastic family-friendly features too, like the central console box that can be opened in both directions so that both front and rear passengers can open it… genius! In the top-spec Ti-L model, this is a fridge which is even more useful.

Storage throughout the 2020 Patrol is great. There are cup holders in all three rows and ample space in the door bins and map pockets for iPads to be stored.

For 2020 the Patrol has increased airflow to the third-row seats and there are air vents in all three rows of seating in the ceiling above the windows.

There are three top tether anchorages in the Nissan Patrol; one in each of the outer second-row seat backs, at the at the very base of them, and one in the third-row seat back on the driver's side.

You can install three child seats, two in the second-row seats and one in the third-row. There was ample legroom for a 182cm or taller driver with rear-facing child seats installed in the second row.

BUT it was not straightforward as the top tether anchorages in the second-row are EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to access. Because the second-row seats do not slide you can not access the top tether anchorages unless you climb in through the boot to access them, which means putting the third-row seats down. But when the third-row seats are folded, the top tether anchorages are then hidden below them and you can't access them. It was a very frustrating process.

I also found when installing the third-row child seat you have to be careful with the type of child seat you choose because with most I tried there was no legroom. I found only a booster seat would work in the third-row.

The third-row is three seats and the central seatbelt comes from the ceiling. I did find I could sit comfortably beside the booster seat and there would be just enough room for me again at the side. Leg and headroom were just enough and I'm 162cm.

Boot space hasn't changed in the 2020 Patrol it is still excellent and with all eight seats in use, I could still get all types of pram and stroller in the boot, including a twin stroller which fitted with three shopping bags.

When you are only using five seats, the boot is enormous and fits 22 shopping bags! That's the same as the Infiniti QX80 , two more than the Lexus LX450D and four more than the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series .

The reversing camera visuals are quite small for such a big car but you do get different camera angles, which is good, and you can mute the parking sensors easily with a button on the screen. In the top-spec model, you also get the rearview mirror camera image too.

Part of the update on the Nissan Patrol is a new suspension with increased comfort offroad. I didn't notice an enormous difference around town and suburbs but I was incredibly surprised how easy it is to maneuver and navigate around small places. The turning circle is very small for a car of this size and the steering very light, I was constantly being pleasantly surprised by it in tight car parks!

The Nissan Patrol has not been ANCAP safety rated. It has six airbags as standard including side curtain airbags that extend to the third-row. There are pre-tensioner seatbelts in the front seats only.

BabyDrive Indepth

Babydrive indepth - storage, how big is the boot of the 2020 nissan patrol.

The boot of the 2020 Patrol has not changed, it is still enormous! When you are only using five seats, it fits 22 shopping bags! That's the same as the Infiniti QX80 , two more than the Lexus LX450D and four more than the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series .

When you are only using five seats the Mountain Buggy Duet twin stroller fits with 14 shopping bags.

When you are only using five seats the Britax Flexx tandem stroller fits with 15 shopping bags.

The boot space and its functionality are really important. I like to have a big boot space and little side wells or areas I can divide things into. So something I don’t want to move around while I’m driving such as Tulsi’s lunch bag or her wet swimming gear can be sectioned off in a little well where it’s not going to spill or get squashed by the rest of the things in the boot. Hooks for securing shopping bags to are also favourites of mine, I like being able to secure the bag containing more fragile things like eggs so they don’t move around on the journey. I measure the boot space in freezer shopping bags, prams and dogs. Not because I think all there is to a mum’s life is food shopping, prams and dogs. (Although it can feel like it sometimes!!) But because these are visually mesurable items we can all associate with. For me, the car company boot measurement of litres is not an amount I can easily visualise and 400L in one car may differ in usability to that in another due to the configuration or shape of the space.

When you are only using five seats the Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle single stroller fits with 14 shopping bags beside it.

When you are only using five seats the Mountain Buggy Nano compact stroller fitted with 18 shopping bags beside it.

Or you could fit an extra-large dog in there!

When you are using all seven seats the boot space is still excellent, fitting eight shopping bags.

Because of the height of the boot, the Mountain Buggy Duet twin stroller fits with three shopping bags.

The Britax Flexx tandem stroller fits with two shopping bags.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle fits with three shopping bags.

The Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle single stroller fits with four shopping bags.

Or an extra small dog.

The boot floor is flat, which is good for an emergency nappy change. There is a 12V socket on the left side and bag hooks on both sides.

There is a shallow storage area under the boot floor too.

How good is storage inside the 2020 Nissan Patrol?

Storage is very good throughout the cabin of the 2020 Nissan Patrol; there are two cup holders in the central console that will hold a reusable and disposable coffee cup and behind them is a selection of small storage wells, good for coins etc and there's a 12V socket too. There's also another lidded storage space behind the gear lever which I found the only convenient place for my phone when it is plugged into the USB socket.

The central console box is enormous and in the top-spec models this is a chilled fridge. There are also two USB and a 12V socket in front of the gear lever and blanks where the heated seat controls would be in the top-spec model.

The glove box is a good size too and I could get my wallet in there with the manual and the iPad.

There is a lined glasses case in the ceiling and lit vanity mirrors in both front visors. The visors are extendable, which really helps with blocking the sun from the side windows.

The door bins in the front are large enough to hold a large refillable water bottle.

In the back, the door bins are considerably smaller but will hold a large refillable water bottle.

There are map pockets on the back of both front seats, they will hold and conceal an iPad.

In a fold-down armrest in the central seatback are two cup holders. They would hold a reusable and a disposable coffee cup.

In the third-row, there are two cup holders on both sides. They will hold a disposable and reusable coffee cup or my large refillable water bottle fit in them too.

BabyDrive Indepth - Noise

How noisy is the 2020 nissan patrol.

The 2020 Nissan Patrol is a surprisingly smooth and quiet BabyDrive, it is unusual for such a large and capable 4WD to not be tractor-like and noisy.

The media system in the 2020 Nissan Patrol is basic, which makes it easier to navigate, but unlike the overseas model that has TWO touchscreens it still doesn't have Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, which is disappointing.

There are still so many buttons all over the dashboard that it is VERY confusing and you'd be forgiven for not finding the one you are looking for!! In the overseas Patrol these are mostly replaced by the new touchscreens.

You can control the aircon through the media screen though which is great.

The reversing camera image is quality has improved slightly but not the size of the image, which feels quite minimal for such a big car. You do get the birdseye view as well which is useful and you can turn off the parking sensors with the button on the screen which is a great feature.

The indicators are still nice and quiet in the new Nissan Patrol and would not disturb my sleeping baby.

Becoming a parent I soon realised there are some noises and sounds I feel are unnecessary and I could happily live without if it meant my baby stayed asleep!! That often the distraction of my screaming, distressed baby is more dangerous when driving than not having a lane departure warning for example. If it is the lane departure warning beeping that creates distress with my baby then which is safest? It’s where I think we need to be able to strike a balance and choose when we can mute the warnings or swap them to a vibration in the steering wheel or flashing light perhaps? A lot of these noises come with the increase in technology and especially linked to safety features and alerts. For me these all have their place. Another thing I have realised is I spend my time in a lot more places where small children roam, parks, beaches, play gyms, swimming lessons, daycare centre etc. I have become more aware that when I’m reversing or manouvering in the car parks I have to tripple check for small children running around behind me or being in my blind spot when reversing. For this I LOVE reversing cameras, I just don’t like their beeping sounds!! I have become so much more aware of safety and potential accidents or hazards since having a child and so I love the peace of mind that I get from the cameras and sensors combined with my own vision from windows and mirrors as I don’t trust cameras alone.

The doors and windows of the 2020 Nissan Patrol open and close quietly which is great for a big car like this and they can be locked from the driver's door control panel. You can come to a stop with the engine still running and get out of the car without sounding any alarms.

Since becoming a mum I spend A LOT of time parked up somewhere with a nice view while my daughter is asleep in the back! If it's hot I need to leave the engine running and the aircon on but I do like to get out and drink my cuppa tea in the fresh air while enjoying the fact my limbs are free from said dangling child!! So this is a very important test as I have found that sometimes I have been held hostage by a cars BEEEEPING alarms when I have taken off my seatbelt or opened the door while the engine is still running!! (I only stand outside the car, I am not a bad mother!!)

The 2020 Nissan Patrol is really nice and quiet to drive, which is refreshing for a big offroad seven-seater SUV, most of the competitors have a loud tractor like engines and feel like that to drive too but the Patrol was actually very smooth. The new suspension also makes the ride even smoother offroad too. You can change the driving mode down in the central console.

BabyDrive Indepth - Car Seats

How many child seats fit in the 2020 nissan patrol.

This is where unfortunately Nissan could have made an improvement with the 2020 Patrol!

There are two sets of ISOFix points, one pair in each of the outer second-row seats. They are not within plastic guides but are nice and easy to connect to.

The Patrol has three top tether anchorages; one in each of the outer second-row seat backs, right down the bottom almost underneath the seats. Which means you have to access them through the boot…

BUT… when the third-row seats are down so that you can get to the back of the second-row seats they block the access to the top tether anchorages and you can't get to them! It is a real chicken and egg situation!

I found the best way was to raise and lower the third-row seats alternately to get in and attach the top tether straps but it really is much more complicated than it needs to be and climbing in and out of the third-row seats through the boot is not great.

There is also a single top tether anchorage in the third row, allowing you to install one child seat into the third-row seats.

You do have to consider which type of child seat you put in the third-row, I found only a booster seat would fit, as other forward-facing harnessed seats would not allow any legroom for the occupant.

I can easily fit the two and I found I could easily travel between two child seats too.

Legroom and space are really good in the Nissan Patrol, with rear-facing child seats installed, a 182cm passenger can easily sit in the front, with a 170cm passenger in the third-row seats.

Accessing the third-row is not great with child seats installed across the second-row and you do have to uninstall a child seat in order to access the third row.

Posting bub into their child seat from outside and inside the Nissan Patrol is really nice and easy, the height means you do not have to bend down and the door openings are lovely and wide.

Australia being a country of weather extremes; blazing sun and torrential rain, mean you may find it easier to put Bub into their seat from inside the car sometimes. If it’s hot you can get the air-con going, cool the car down and not stand out in the sun while you fasten them in or shelter from the rain and not get soaked yourself whilst you’re doing it. So it is important to test whether Bub can be easily installed from either direction!

There is plenty of room to feed bub in the back of the Nissan Patrol if you only have one child seat installed.

BabyDrive Indepth - Drive & Comfort

How comfortable is the 2020 nissan patrol and how good is the new 2020 nissan patrol to drive.

In the front of the 2020 Nissan Patrol, the seats are enormous and very comfortable! I usually like quite small and hugging seats but these are the total opposite and remind me of my grandparent's armchairs! They are black leather with perforated central panels, which means they are harder to wipe clean and child crumbs and detritus get into the little holes.

The front seats are heated and cooled in the top-spec Ti-L model, but not in this Ti model I tested.

I found I couldn't have a ponytail in the driver's seat and the headrests are not adjustable.

I had spent hours styling my hair this morning to get this ponytail just right too… said no new mum ever!!!

For a mum travelling in the back with bub, the seats are very comfortable and there is heaps of space and legroom. There is just a low hump in the central footwell, which I found fine to rest my feet on or straddle and it was easy to walk straight through from one side of the car to the other and get out of either side.

For the first year of Tulsi’s life when we would go out as a family, if I wasn’t driving, I would travel in the back with Tulsi so it’s important to check the back seat comfort as you may be spending a lot of time in them! They were never something I gave any thought to before but I definitely notice a good or bad back seat now!

In the third-row the seats are spacious and comfortable too, I found there to be plenty of head and legroom for me and I'm 162cm and I think you would fit very comfortably up to 170cm passenger on a long journey.

The steering wheel is fully adjustable in/out and up/down.

The cruise controls are on the right on the steering wheel. Cruise control is not that accurate in the Nissan Patrol, especially on slower, undulating roads at around 60km/h, the car really races away from the set speed.

There is still no digital speed display in the 2020 Patrol, which I found really frustrating and crazy in this day and age! This less accurate way of telling your speed makes it difficult with speed cameras and very few cars do not have digital speed displays nowadays.

There are four large, vertical air-conditioning vents across the front dashboard; two central ones and one at either end.

There is improved airflow to the rear rows of passengers in the new 2020 Nissan Patrol and ceiling air vents for all rear rows of seats, which is excellent for all rear passengers in the Australian climate. There are also handles for both rear seating rows too which is great for hanging toys from.

There are controls for both the front and rear aircon within the media screen, that are nice and easy to reach and use while driving.

There are also controls in the back of the central console box for the rear aircon but you can override this from the front.

The rear interior lights are located next to the air vents along the side of the ceiling above the rear windows. I could reach one side to turn it on or off from the driver's seat while driving!

I have found Tulsi does not like travelling in the dark in the car so if it gets dark whilst travelling then I reach back and turn the interior light on for her. So it’s really important for me that I can reach the rear ceiling light. Also if I am traveling home and it is getting near to bed time and I DEFINITELY DON’T want her to fall asleep in the car as even a five-minute nap in the car means bed time is all over!!!! I lean back and pop the light on so it’s not dark and try to keep her awake!! Along with screaming/singing at the top of my voice!!! It is also useful when there are lights situated above the doors where the handles are usually positioned. These are good for when putting baby into their child seats when visibility is poor, so you do not have to reach across them to a light situated in the ceiling centrally etc .

Visibility in the 2020 Nissan Patrol is good because the windows are so big. For both forward and rear-facing passengers, the higher seating position and large windows give a great view out. I did find with the Nissan Patrol it is so big that you do need to park it strategically because it completely fills a parking space so you have to make sure you can open your door once it's parked!

One thing I have noticed since being a mum is I hate it when I reach a destination or get home from being out and Tulsi has either done really well in the car or she is screaming her head off and I have done really well to keep it together for the entire journey (usually the latter!!) and it takes 10 minutes to park the car! It can be really stressful. Usually I dread parking new cars as they take longer in our tight apartment block carpark, the Nissan Patrol FILLED the parking space so it was tricky to park.

Aesthetically the Nissan Patrol looks and feels like a guilty luxury to have such a large, luxury and capable SUV with so much interior space.

BabyDrive Indepth - Safety

How safe is the new 2020 nissan patrol.

The Nissan Patrol has not been ANCAP safety rated, which seems crazy for a model that has been around for so long!

The Patrol has six airbags as standard including side curtain airbags that extend to the third-row. There are pre-tensioner seatbelts in the front seats only.

As standard, all models of the Nissan Patrol come with an intelligent around-view monitor with moving object detection, vehicle dynamic control (VDC) including traction control system (TCS), anti-lock braking system (ABS) , and electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), hill descent control (HDC) with on/off switch and hill start assist (HSA), intelligent cruise control (ICC), forward collision warning (FCW), intelligent distance control, lane departure warning (LDW) , intelligent lane intervention, blind-spot warning (BSW) , intelligent blind spot intervention, intelligent brake assist (IBA), forward-collision warning (FCW), lane departure warning (LDW) , intelligent lane intervention, rear cross-traffic alert (RCTA)  and tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS)

Some of these safety features are also features that drive me crazy as a mum! Like the lane departure and forward collision alert or the parking sensor beeping sound. I want all the safety technology AND to be able to mute the sound when Tulsi’s asleep!

Nissan Patrol Super Safari review: the best of both worlds

Off-road or on the motorway, the 2022 model of the region’s legendary suv is here to conquer everything in its path.

The 2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari costs from Dh153,000. All photos: Nissan

Since its resurrection in 2017, the Nissan Patrol Super Safari has continued to dominate as the region’s favourite off-road vehicle. The Japanese manufacturer bowed to popular demand and brought the wilder Nissan Patrol back into production, and tweaked and tuned every new version for the better.

The 2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari follows the trend. For starters, it sits slightly higher than its predecessors. This not only gives you a better view of what’s ahead, but also creates more clearance underneath the car to comfortably deal with extremely uneven terrain. Or an extra-large speed bump.

Engine: 6-cylinder, 4.8-litre Transmission: 5-speed automatic and manual Power: 280 brake horsepower Torque: 451Nm Price: from Dh153,00 On sale: now

Nissan has also introduced cruise control, anti-lock brakes, smart tyre-pressure monitoring and a number of other driving aids that make for a more comfortable ride. It’s now available in either a 5-speed manual or automatic gearbox. The result is that the 2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari feels more at home than ever when you’re driving it on asphalt. We were fairly surprised just how smooth the drive was and the silence in the cabin as the 4.8-litre, 280bhp V6 engine roared away was impressive.

Now, if you just read that paragraph above and are worried that the Super Safari has been declawed, fear not — it’s equally as fun off the road as it is on it. There’s not much (if anything) that the robust suspension and new telescopic shock absorbers can’t handle. You feel more in control than ever thanks to the intelligent system that manages engine speed when under or oversteering. When we took it for a gentle spin off-road it instantly felt safely at home. The temptation to plant our foot and bounce over every hill in sight was palpable. This one lives for rough terrain.

Nissan has been very clever with its 2022 Patrol Super Safari. While improving the driving experience for thrill-seekers it has introduced the safety and comfort features found in the more luxurious Nissan Patrol, which will appeal to drivers. You can choose between cloth, leather or PVC upholstery for inside the cavernous cabin, with each seat providing comfy and ample space. And we love the straightforward nature of the Bluetooth connection that hooks your phone up to the in-car entertainment system easily.

Yes, it’s more of an everyday SUV now. You can use it for doing the school run, transporting friends and family or nipping out to do the grocery shopping. But it’s also ready to be loaded up with camping equipment, shovels and recovery sand boards at a moment’s notice for an off-road adventure.

Nissan’s evolution of the Super Safari has so far been well balanced. And this 2022 version delivers its most complete version yet. There’s no need to rip up the rule book when it comes to improvements, and by focusing on functionality and interior comfort upgrades, the Super Safari will live on for a long time.

Nissan Patrol review: old-school V8 SUV tested

What are you doing with El Chapo’s car?

It’s true the Nissan Patrol has a whiff (or snort) of the white powdery stuff about it. No idea why. Maybe we’ve just watched too many episodes of Narcos , in which Pablo Escobar’s henchmen travel from murderous appointment to murderous appointment in its mid-Eighties equivalent. Or maybe it’s true, and the world’s drug smugglers really do rate these things above every other SUV. Shame there is no evidence to support this.

Moving swiftly on…

Quite right. If you’re European, you won’t have seen one of these before. Not this generation, anyway. There’s just not enough demand for an eight-seater, V8-engined body-on-frame SUV in this part of the world for Nissan to justify selling it here. So it doesn’t. Not anymore.

But in the Middle East, where petrol is so cheap it’s basically free, these things are near enough as common as Ford Fiestas are in Britain. It’s over there where the Patrol’s Land Cruiser-rivalling, decades-old reputation for go-anywhere indestructibility has snowballed into fiercely loyal following. Even Emirati royals are known for having Patrol-shaped soft-spots – and they’re well-heeled enough to buy any SUV they want.

I think we need a history lesson.

The ‘latest’ Patrol, codename Y62, has been around since 2010. And it’s still a proper off-roader at heart, albeit one festooned with much luxury and shiny faux-wood trim.

It can trace it roots back to the early Fifties – the original Patrol was launched in ’51, sold exclusively in Japan and used mainly by its military. A few years later, a second-gen Patrol was allegedly the first car to cross Australia’s notoriously inhospitable Simpson Desert.

This Patrol is a bit softer than its predecessors. An SUV that can do off-road stuff, not a 4x4 that’s built exclusively to do it. The Aussies were especially unhappy the last one, the Y61, was taken off sale there (though you can still buy one in the Middle East, where it’s sold as the Patrol Super Safari), because it was a proper back-to-basics off-roader, and there aren’t many of those around anymore.

I see. Let’s start with the inside.

Ok, so there’s acres of space wherever you sit (even in the third row, which can take three people) and the seats are wide, soft and pillowy, but the dashboard is distinctly 2007. It’s packed with buttons and, while they all work (and will no doubt continue to for decades to come), there’s just no escaping the fact they, and the infotainment system, look like they belong in a car from a decade and a half ago. Get in a Patrol in 2018, and it’s eminently obvious this is a car that was released in 2010.

Is it old-fashioned to drive, too?

Yeah. We take back what we said earlier. This is not a sports utility vehicle, there’s no sports involved. It’s comfortable and easy enough to drive, and the 5.6-litre N/A V8 gives enough acceleration and a good but subdued noise, but don’t be tricked into thinking this is anything like a modern, unibody SUV. The separate chassis makes it good off-road (we tried, can confirm) sure, but on-road it makes the Patrol ponderous and truck like. Best ignore any buttons with the word ‘Sport’ on them, forget about the glassy steering, and just sink into the throne-like driver’s seat, and waft your way to wherever you’re going.

I think I still want one.

If you’re in the US, the Armada is basically the same thing, just with a few of the more hardcore off-road tech taken out. So if you really want one, then by all means go ahead. But in Europe? Don’t worry, you’re not missing out. Our modern SUVs are better to drive, more comfortable, faster and some will rival the Patrol off-road too. Especially so-equipped Range Rovers, with their deeply intelligent Terrain Response system. The Patrol is weirdly likable we’ll admit, and well suited to the markets in which it’s sold, but it’s not for us. Sorry.

Rare Rides: Patrol the Desert in This 1989 Nissan Safari

The Patrol has forever been Nissan’s answer to the Toyota Land Cruiser, as both brands compete for rough and tumble SUV customers. Today’s Rare Ride represents just how many creature comforts can be added to a go-anywhere truck.

Presenting the Nissan Safari from 1989.

The Patrol started production in 1951, aping the looks and function of the Willys Jeep. It borrowed the name too; sometimes it was just called a Jeep. Mostly intended for military use, the bare-bones first generation lasted through 1960.

With the debut of the second generation, production expanded to include more body styles: Patrol now offered hardtops, vans, and a pickup truck. Distribution expanded as well, and the Patrol was sold (as a Nissan) at Datsun dealerships in North America between 1962 and 1969.

It was 1980 before the third-generation Patrol began production, known as the 160 series. Comfort and equipment came into play for the first time, as this generation saw the introduction of an automatic transmission. Accompanying the transmission option were new trim levels. Deluxe examples included luxuries like air conditioning and power steering.

A fourth-generation (Y60) Patrol started production in 1987, bringing us to today’s Rare Ride. In a turn from prior generations, a coil suspension replaced the old leaf springs and brought refinement to travel. Power steering was standard and, if buyers spent enough money, they’d have the benefit of front and rear disc brakes. Automatic transmissions in this generation were all of the four-speed variety, while manuals had five forward gears. Engines ranged between 2.8 and 4.2 liters, all of them inline-sixes.

The Japanese market received the fourth-generation Patrol as the Safari. While models for other markets had a 12-volt electrical system, the Safari had a 24-volt. Today’s Rare Ride is a decked-out short-wheelbase example from the end of the Eighties. It has the largest 4.2-liter diesel engine. Said diesel propels all the tape stripes, power equipment, and tweedy seats through an automatic transmission. The Safari asks $14,900 and is located in Philadelphia.

Interested in lots of cars and their various historical contexts. Started writing articles for TTAC in late 2016, when my first posts were QOTDs. From there I started a few new series like Rare Rides, Buy/Drive/Burn, Abandoned History, and most recently Rare Rides Icons. Operating from a home base in Cincinnati, Ohio, a relative auto journalist dead zone. Many of my articles are prompted by something I'll see on social media that sparks my interest and causes me to research. Finding articles and information from the early days of the internet and beyond that covers the little details lost to time: trim packages, color and wheel choices, interior fabrics. Beyond those, I'm fascinated by automotive industry experiments, both failures and successes. Lately I've taken an interest in AI, and generating "what if" type images for car models long dead. Reincarnating a modern Toyota Paseo, Lincoln Mark IX, or Isuzu Trooper through a text prompt is fun. Fun to post them on Twitter too, and watch people overreact. To that end, the social media I use most is Twitter, @CoreyLewis86. I also contribute pieces for Forbes Wheels and Forbes Home.

RH drive... perfect for a rural mail carrier who also needs 4x4 capability!!!

• See 1 previous

One of the carriers around here has a JDM Mitsubishi Pajero for that.

@bumpy ii I've been tempted to become a mail carrier just so I can justify buying some quirky RHD Japanese metal. But, in reality, $14k+ is a bit much for an older vehicle that will see daily service and may quite possibly be near impossible to find parts for. Yeah, a new RHD Wrangler is twice that easy, but it has a warranty and service/parts availability virtually anywhere on this continent.

Does it still have the 24V electrical system? While such things have merits for reliability reasons, maintainability would take a huge hit unless you have military-like economies of scale. What do you use for lightbulbs, for instance?

If i were to guess, it's only a partial 24v for the starting and charging circuits, and the cluster and other electrical accessories are 12v. Some older diesel tractors were set up that way.

• NJRide Let Cadillac be Cadillac, but in the context of 2024. As a new XT5 owner (the Emerald Green got me to buy an old design) I would have happy preferred a Lyriq hybrid. Some who really like the Lyriq's package but don't want an EV will buy another model. Most will go elsewhere. I love the V6 and good but easy to use infotainment. But I know my next car will probably be more electrified w more tech.I don't think anyone is confusing my car for a Blazer but i agree the XT6 is too derivative. Frankly the Enclave looks more prestigious. The Escalade still has got it, though I would love to see the ESV make a comeback. I still think GM missed the boat by not making a Colorado based mini-Blazer and Escalade. I don't get the 2 sedans. I feel a slightly larger and more distinctly Cadillac sedan would sell better. They also need to advertise beyond the Lyriq. I don't feel other luxury players are exactly hitting it out of the park right now so a strengthened Cadillac could regain share.
• CM Korecko Cadillacs traditionally have been opulent, brash and leaders in the field; the "Standard of the World".That said, here's how to fix the brand:[list=1][*]Forget German luxury cars ever existed.[/*][*]Get rid of the astromech droid names and bring back Seville, Deville, Eldorado, Fleetwood and Brougham.[/*][*]End the electric crap altogether and make huge, gas guzzling land yachts for the significant portion of the population that would fight for a chance to buy one.[/*][*]Stop making sports cars and make true luxury cars for those of us who don't give a damn about the environment and are willing to swim upstream to get what we really want.[/*][*]Stop messing around with technology and make well-made and luxurious interiors.[/*][*]Watch sales skyrocket as a truly different product distinguishes itself to the delight of the target market and the damnation of the Sierra Club. Hell, there is no such thing as bad publicity and the "bad guy" image would actually have a lot of appeal.[/*][/list=1]
• FreedMike Not surprisingly, I have some ideas. What Cadillac needs, I think, is a statement. They don’t really have an identity. They’re trying a statement car with the Celestiq, and while that’s the right idea, it has the wrong styling and a really wrong price tag. So, here’s a first step: instead of a sedan, do a huge, fast, capable and ridiculously smooth and quiet electric touring coupe. If you want an example of what I’m thinking of, check out the magnificent Rolls-Royce Spectre. But this Cadillac coupe would be uniquely American, it’d be named “Eldorado,” and it’d be a lot cheaper than the $450,000 Spectre – call it a buck twenty-five, with a range of bespoke options for prospective buyers that would make each one somewhat unique. Make it 220 inches long, on the same platform as the Celestiq, give it retro ‘60s styling (or you could do a ‘50s or ‘70s throwback, I suppose), and at least 700 horsepower, standard. Why electric? It’s the ultimate throwback to ‘60s powertrains: effortlessly fast, smooth, and quiet, but with a ton more horsepower. It’s the perfect drivetrain for a dignified touring coupe. In fact, I’d skip any mention of environmental responsibility in this car’s marketing – sell it on how it drives, period.  How many would they sell? Not many. But the point of the exercise is to do something that will turn heads and show people what this brand can do.  Second step: give the lineup a mix of electric and gas models, and make Cadillac gas engines bespoke to the brand. If they need to use generic GM engine designs, fine – take those engines and massage them thoroughly into something special to Cadillac, with specific tuning and output. No Cadillac should leave the factory with an engine straight out of a Malibu or a four-banger Silverado. Third step: a complete line-wide interior redo. Stop the cheapness that’s all over the current sedans and crossovers. Just stop it. Use the Lyriq as a blueprint – it’s a big improvement over the current crop and a good first step. I’d also say Cadillac has a good blend of screen-controlled and switch-controlled user interfaces; don’t give into the haptic-touch and wall-to-wall screen thing. (On the subject of Caddy interiors – as much as I bag on the Celestiq, check out the interior on that thing. Wow.)Fourth step: Blackwing All The Things – some gas, others electric. And keep the electric/gas mix so buyers have a choice.Fifth step: be patient. That’s not easy, but if they’re doing a brand reset, it’ll take time. 
• NJRide So if GM was serious about selling this why no updates for so long? Or make something truly unique instead of something that looked like a downmarket Altima?
• Kmars2009 I rented one last fall while visiting Ohio. Not a bad car...but not a great car either. I think it needs a new version. But CUVs are King... unfortunately!

2021 Nissan Patrol “Super Safari” Is The New SUV You Really Want

We have lamented the Nissan Patrol SUV not being available in the US. Instead, we are stuck with the overpriced, bloated, overstuffed Armada. The 2021 Nissan Patrol “Super Safari” is the new SUV you really want. This is a full-size SUV 4×4 available in the Middle East and the Philippines. They’re rugged, dependable, and as capable as any stripped-down Toyota Land Cruiser. 

The 2021 Patrol Super Safari has seen limited changes which is probably good

Nissan has chosen 1) not to change it since the late-1990s, and 2) not to make it available anywhere else but the aforementioned countries. For 2021 Nissan has added some great features and upgrades making us want it even more. The change you’ll notice first is that black has been added to the very limited pallet of Patrol colors. So now paint colors have really expanded with black added to either gold or white. No, we’re not kidding.

The other noticeable changes include 17-inch alloy wheels, now finished in black. Also, the Super Safari decal on the quarters has been updated. Nissan doesn’t hesitate to pull out all of the stops for some exciting and dynamic changes from 2020 to 2021 models. Not. 

Inside the center stack is housed an eight-inch infotainment screen and includes Apple CarPlay. New cloth upholstery along with tan leather are two new features. An option is the addition of Super Safari embossing in the seats. 

The Middle East get the Patrol-both as a two- or four-door

So why does the Middle East get the Patrol-both as a two- or four-door, and the rest of the world doesn’t? Thierry Sabbagh, Nissan’s Managing Director in the Middle East, told Carbuzz that Super Safari’s longevity in the Middle East is due to its “deep-rooted heritage.” He continues that the Patrol “adds a modern look to the powerful performance and durability of the SUV – maintaining its credibility to be the ideal partner for an off-road driving adventure across the region.” In other words, he doesn’t have a clue why. 

We suppose if he knew why he’d be head of marketing or he’d be a VP at Nissan. Instead, he is tasked with providing no reason for the reason the Patrol is popular there and why it is not sold here. But we digress.

One reason we can readily see why the Patrol is so popular in the Middle East is price

One reason we can readily see is because of the price . The 2021 Patrol Super Safari lists for 171k AED, which translates to $47k in the US. Some may find that a bit high considering the Nissan Armada starts at just $1,500 more. But let’s get real; most Armadas are loaded up to the $65,000 to $80,000 price. That is getting close to twice the price of a Patrol.

We can lament further but instead look to the immediate future for a new Nissan Titan and its SUV offshoot Armada. Nissan has a lot of catching up to do as it has let its catalog of vehicles somewhat die on the vine. That in turn has caused a cash crunch that puts the future of the company in question. There is hope that Nissan can get its act together and start a product cadence of new, competitive vehicles that match feature to feature the best in each class.

LATEST NEWS 2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari elevates off-road experiences in the Middle East

March 14, 2022

• Aesthetic and technological upgrades complement visual identity and luxury of the legendary SUV

Dubai, UAE (14 March 2022) – Building on the success of the legendary Patrol Super Safari, Nissan announces aesthetic and technological upgrades for the 2022 model to cater to the evolving needs of buyers in the region. Conquering the harshest of terrain for almost seventy years, the Patrol has built a legacy in the Middle East, composed of a deep-rooted heritage, power, and superior off-road capability.

The rugged appeal of the Patrol Super Safari is available with a choice of three bold exterior colours – black, white, or gold – with a unique choice of grey or gold accents across the roof, bumpers, wheel arches, and spare tyre cover for drivers to create a combination of their choice. The striking ‘Super Safari’ decal along the side of the car is complemented by a bold set of 17-inch diamond cut alloy wheels that contribute to the SUV’s head-turning presence.

Inside, drivers can opt to have the cabin with PVC, woven fabric, or tan leather seats, with the latter adding a unique touch through a special Super Safari emboss. In addition to 2 DIN display audio system with smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay, drivers also benefit from a newly installed wireless charger for added comfort and convenience.

Thierry Sabbagh, Managing Director, Nissan Middle East said: “The region’s sustained love and demand for the Patrol Super Safari is reflective of the deep-rooted heritage of this all-terrain vehicle with the people of the Middle East and its compatibility with the deserts of the Arabian Peninsula. The 2022 model retains the Super Safari’s off-road prowess, offering customers in the Middle East value and convenience through the integration of innovative design and technological elements.”

Thrilling performance is provided by a 4.8-liter in-line six-cylinder engine that produces 280 horsepower and 451 Nm of torque. Equipped with VTC and NICS, in addition to a 5-speed automatic or manual transmission, the Patrol Super Safari offers exceptional off-road performance and impressive top speed on the highway. A straight-line drive transfer and rear differential lock further the Patrol’s performance and allow it to explore places where other SUVs don’t dare to go.

Built for adventure, the Patrol Super Safari’s higher angle of stability, improved gradeability, and the larger approach, departure, and ramp-clearance angles, are all furthered by a heavy-duty coil spring suspension, incorporating telescopic shock absorbers and torsion bar, for confident handling on all terrain.

In addition to electronically controlled power steering that ensures effortless control at low speeds and firm handling at high speeds, the Patrol Super Safari is equipped with a host of Nissan Intelligent Mobility features for a safer and more connected driving experience. This includes cruise control, a tire pressure monitoring system, ABS, dual-front SRS airbags, and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) that prevents understeer and oversteer by reducing engine speed and applying the brakes individually on specific wheels when entering or exiting a corner.

The 2022 Patrol Super Safari is now available at Nissan’s partner network across the Middle East including, Al Masaood Automobiles in Abu Dhabi, YK AlMoayyed & Sons in Bahrain, Arabian Automobiles Co. in Dubai, Anwar Babel Co. in Iraq, Bustami & Saheb Co. in Jordan, Abdulmohsen Abdulaziz Al Babtain in Kuwait, Rasamny-Younis Motor Company (RYMCO) in Lebanon, Suhail Bahwan Automobiles in Oman, Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Co. in Qatar, and Tehama Trading Co. in Yemen.

Safari Mirrors

Anyone know the part numbers for the awesome (!) "GQ" safari mirrors? (glass or full item) The mirror fell out of mine and I miss it so..... Don't want to have to put standard patrol ones on. Thanks, Dave  

Get a new mirror fitted back into it.  

It's a convex mirror so I need to find the specific mirror to go in there. I was going to grind the plastic back so i could put a flat piece in there but because of where it swivels I can't, I would have to cut half of it out.  

Some days there are some on trademe here in NZ, as lots of import safaris over here. An to many dips selling parts off them  

Large side mirror. Do not glue in a flat replacement. I did and it is no good.  

Search gumtree and the wreckers, some have gotta pop up sooner or later. Bringing some in from NZ might be an option though.  

Yep...cops just busted a wreckers in Christchurch who had been running a chop shop. So far they have found about 20 stolen 4wd's and cars and 2 x 20' containers of 4wd parts that were destined for the overseas market, middle east apparently.  

Yes vidio shows cops carrying safari doors with mirrors attached
