  • 2024 Nissan Patrol receives Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and DAB+ digital radio
  • Technological upgrade unique to Australian market
  • Prices up $3000 across Patrol line-up

A significant technological update for the 2024 Nissan Patrol off-road SUV has been announced.

Nissan Australia has worked with aftermarket supplier Directed Technologies to develop a revised dashboard for the Patrol, which will be fitted when the vehicles arrive on local shores.

Headlining the changes is the addition of a larger and higher-resolution 10.1-inch infotainment system with support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto – a must-have feature for many new-car buyers.

Most vehicles sold in Australia are fitted with smartphone mirroring technology, including the latest version of the 40-year-old Toyota LandCruiser 70 Series.

It is positioned lower than the previous 8-inch touchscreen, which remained unchanged from when the Y62 Patrol debuted 14 years ago – with older technologies including a CD player, iPod integration, and a rotary dial to control certain functions.

Left-hand-drive versions of the Patrol have been offered with a revised interior since late 2020, including a 12.3-inch widescreen infotainment system, a 7-inch semi-digital instrument cluster, and an updated centre stack.

However, these updates were not made available to our market due to a lack of further investment in the right-hand-drive Patrol at a factory level – leading Nissan Australia to introduce long-overdue improvements with help from an aftermarket supplier.

In addition to smartphone integration, the Patrol’s new infotainment system adds DAB+ digital radio, built-in Hema iGo satellite navigation, and off-road Hema 4×4 maps available with a subscription.

New Patrol vehicles will include a one-month free subscription to the off-road map service.

There are also revamped air-conditioning controls, less woodgrain accents for the Ti and Ti-L, a USB-C charge port, and a 15-watt wireless phone ‘charge pocket’ for all variants.

A storage compartment with a folding lid has been added between the air vents where the old head unit was located.

Due to incompatibility with the new infotainment system, the Patrol Ti-L’s 13-speaker Bose audio system has been replaced with a six-speaker Infinity by Harman audio system – a brand familiar to rival brands such as Hyundai and Kia.

Ti and Warrior models continue with an unbranded six-speaker audio system.

In addition, all variants lose the 360-degree around-view monitor, with a full-HD wide-angle rear-view camera in its place, while the Ti-L no longer features twin 8-inch second-row entertainment screens.

Nissan has added some features to the Patrol Ti and Warrior that were previously exclusive to the top-of-the-range Ti-L, including a digital rear-view mirror and a first-row centre console cool box.

Prices for the updated 2024 Nissan Patrol have increased $3000 across the line-up, which now spans between $87,900 and $104,160 before on-road costs.

All variants continue to be powered by a 298kW/560Nm 5.6-litre naturally-aspirated petrol V8, with an on-demand four-wheel-drive system and a 3.5-tonne braked towing capacity.
