The Nissan Patrolhas been given its third price rise in 12 months, with a further $940 added to the price of all three model grades in Australian showrooms.
The entry-level Patrol Ti now starts at $96,540 before on-road costs; the mid-spec Patrol Ti-L is now priced from $108,040 before on-roads; and the Australian-developed Patrol Warrior now starts at $111,600 before on-roads.
The price increase isn’t as substantial as the previous rise last August, when an additional $5000 was added to the price of all three models, following increases of between $140 and $1340 with the MY25 update in April.
“The price adjustment reflects a combination of ongoing global and local cost pressures, including logistics, materials, and supplier costs,” a Nissan Australia spokesperson told CarExpert.

The increase as the Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series – which leads the upper-large SUV segment ahead of the Patrol – has copped $1000 price rises across its lineup, with Toyota offering a similar explanation for the move.
The Patrol has seen an increase in demand following confirmation the next-generation Patrol – codenamed Y63 – won’t offer the current 5.6-litre V8 engine, which produces 298kW and 560Nm and is paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission, when it arrives locally.
The Y63 will instead be offered with a twin-turbocharged 3.5-litre petrol V6 engine with more power and torque than the V8, at 317kW and 700Nm.
That mirrors what Toyota did with the LandCruiser 300 Series, which launched in October 2021 with a six-cylinder powertrain – albeit a diesel – replacing the previous V8.
Despite being the sole V8 offering left in its segment – and after the LandCruiser 70 Series dropped its V8 in 2024 – Patrol sales fell 24.5 per cent in 2025, slipping further following the August price increase.
Its best month of sales in 2025 was June, when 724 units were sold, but after recording 508 sales in July, the Patrol rarely exceeded 400 deliveries per month for the remainder of the year, aside from a September high of 469.
The Y63 Patrol is due in Australia during final three months of 2026 and will be longer and wider than the current model sold here.
There’s a strong chance Melbourne-based engineering firm Premcar is working on a Warrior version of the Y63, following the success of the current Patrol Warrior and the Warrior version of the Nissan Navara.
Premcar was also enlisted to fine-tune the latest Nissan Navara ute, which is based on the current Mitsubishi Triton, as the two companies – part of a three-way alliance with Renault – face ongoing challenges to sales and profitability.
Both Nissan Australia and Mitsubishi Motors Australia Limited (MMAL) will enter 2026 with new leadership, with Steve Milette replacing Andrew Humberstone as managing director at Nissan from April 1.
On January 5, 2026, Shunichi Kihara took over as CEO of MMAL after Shaun Westcott resigned from the role in September 2025.
