Fantastic non biased review. So i currently own a 200 series VX, i love the thing to bits< thought I'm not going to lie, i am little toyota biased. I recently drove the new Series 5 Patrol. I hate to say, i was impressed! i only drove it on the road. The patrol handles like a car, and makes the landruiser feel boaty in comparison, amazing really, not only that, the acceleration on the Patrol was smooth and super quick with real grunt! i have to confess, i would really consider the patrol if i was to choose again.. In my opinion, Both are awesome vehicles
Actually I feel the other way. I have had a pajero for 3 years and am now looking for something more comfy for long distance driving. I have more confidence on the handling of LC200 than Y62 as I found the steering wheel of Y62 is too light and the ride is sometimes a bit jittery.
The Y62 is aimed towards the luxury car market but still retains its go-anywhere reputation arguably better than the Land Cruiser despite only coming in Petrol. It's the Y62 for me as well. And the 14.4L/100km is genuinely very impressive for a car that large
@@Mr-pn2eh Sorry Daniel, you are so wrong. I own own one of these Patrols and my mate has a 200. When we're touring, at the end of a full day's drive my Patrol might have used 5 litres more fuel than his cruiser. And that pisses him off no ends.
@@hugomachado1397 it depends which market you are looking at, the top range vxr and the top range patrol in Southern African region have similar price range .
Patrol articulation (especially at 11:42) really surprised me. Independent suspension never really looks that impressive when flexing out but it does a pretty good job!
How stupid it looked with those 'experts' driving around with it like that. I couldnt stop laughing....morons. What about the crawl control. They should stick to reviewing VW Golfs and Kona's.
A follow up video would be great, discussing running costs (real world fuel consumption, service costs, changing injectors vs spark plugs etc) over a 5 year or say 200k km distance, plus resale, insurance and full towung specs. Cheers!
Owned a number of diesels over a few decades . But over this time the regulations have caused the engines to be chocked up with numerous emission devices with the latest ‘Add Blue’ last straw for the diesel The Y62 is so much better on and off road the petrol motor is brilliant
@@craigdavid6668 the LC emissions system is well known to clog and block the intake with in 150000 kms of new, and doing a full intake dismantle and clean costs a fortune. Also the LC air cleaner is well knows to let fine dust bypass the filter and in extreme cases dust the engine causing complete failure, also early models (07-11) are known to burn a lot of engine oil. It has to do with the review because the patrol doesn’t have these issues.
Ah yes that toyota reputation of reliability comes in, but that was built on the 80/105 series and 70 series. Since then they are no more reliable than any other car with I'd say even less reliability with the 200 against the y62. The y62 has no major issue known unlike the 200 (injectors, airbox leaks, fuel level sensor shutting vehicle down randomly, egr+dpf issues aswell just to name a few)
I have friends (I live in the UAE) who had bought their Nissan patrol way back in 2010-2011 and still having no problems in their cars... I was looking for a car to buy and all my friends told me that if u want a car that can last a minimum of 10-15 years, u gotta buy the patrol... And i ended up gettting one and it is AMAZING...And in addition, its got a lot of resale value in UAE... i dont know how it is in the other places... I say u go for it !!!
I don’t think any car can beat the Toyota Land Cruiser in reliability, my grandmother had an older land cruiser ( don’t know which series) and drove all across Australia with it and had not one problem.
I am in CANADA using NISSAN TITAN and INFINITI QX56 for last 10 YEARS both have same engine and transmission as NISSAN PATROL, I have towed so many trailers with it cause I'm in construction business, they never let me down. I will not buy anything other than NISSAN V8 products, there is no doubt Land Cruiser is a great vehicle, so the NISSAN Patrol choice is yours.
@@syedhussain3810 there is no other brand I’d buy, I only buy Toyotas, in my family there has been 3 land Cruisers owned and there has only been one minor issue (aviator) which was in my grandmothers 79 series, my mum owned a second hand 80 series and my uncle owns a 200 series.
Rod Pace land cruiser air boxes don’t seal very well and are known to suck in dust and cause engine failure even on low km engines. There’s a few fixes but it’s been a common issue that Toyota have failed to address. DPF is also an issue on newer Toyota’s.
Namal Jayasinghe both are pretty pointless in the real ruff off-road stuff as they are both way to big and have IFS (Patrol fully independent) is biased to on road handling rather than flexing.
You’re right, the styling and interior are from 3 generations ago and it’ll be used for another 3. Toyota and Nissan have fallen asleep at the wheel. Who does wood grain for god sake?!?
CORRECTION: The LC200 uses a full-time 4wd via a centre-differential feeding power to both front and rear axles - hence why it needs a seperate locking system on this diff. The Patrol has no centre-differential. Instead it utilises a clutch pack on its transfer case which, when engaged sends power to the front axle. In AUTO mode, drive is sent to the rear axle only, with drive only being sent to the front axle when slip is detected. If 4wd-HI or 4wd-LO is selected then said clutch pack is permanently engaged and you have a ‘locked’ 4wd system.
@@missjessicalawrence 3 reasons for that. One is lack of good petrol out country (alot of places don't even have it) along with prices of it or if on cattle stations or mines the machines/tractors use diesel so it's easier to just tank in 1000's of litres in at once rather than get a separate batch of petrol. Also toyota has incredible fleet/business deals so they can be cheaper if bought in bulk. Then you've got that toyota reputation of reliability, but that was built on the 80/105 series and 70 series. Since then they are no more reliable than any other car with I'd say even less reliability with the 200 against the y62. The y62 has no major issue known unlike the 200 (injectors, airbox leaks, fuel level sensor shutting vehicle down randomly, egr+dpf issues aswell just to name a few)
@@missjessicalawrence Sorry Jessica, I'm with Thorn. Toyota may have built its reputation back in the day but now it's taking a beating. I work on the things and I just can't believe people keep buying them. Everything else on the road is just as good (and just as bad). Toyota shouldn't take credit for their cars, they should take credit for their ability to brainwash the public.
@@tcmx712 as soon as the warranty runs out, this Nissan will be shit like all other nissans. If toyotas reliability has gone down then nissans is non existent. People take their patrols back for repairs much more often any 200 series
I will choose the Patrol. Better value for money and 90% of the time you're gonna be on-road, not off-road. Leather interior and rear locker with the base model. It's an obvious choice. The Patrol definitely looks more modern and sophisticated and you can save that 20 Grand and turn it into a weapon. More bang for your buck. Shame it's not the UAE interior tho. Also, I currently have a diesel rig and the cost of running on diesel is obviously cheaper but, it's much more expensive to maintain and get parts for the engine and it's very loud. If you want to relax and be comfortable definitely petrol V8.
Went out two years ago to buy a 200 series and came home with a Ti Patrol. Haven't regretted it once. It's simply a better vehicle in every way, and it's actually $30,000 cheaper than a similar spec VX cruiser. How anyone could spend $90k+ on a GXL cruiser is beyond me. They are absolutely poverty spec inside, a total ripoff, you get more features on a $20k Hyundai.
@Trimat - Simple problem called reliability. The LC if properly maintained will do an excess of 1 000 000km relatively trouble free with hard driving included. Let's how the other others stack up?
@@louvendran7273 Problem for the LC you mean? The Y62 has been on the market in Aus since 2013, and the world market since 2010. Apart from a timing chain issue on series one, there have been no systemic reliability issues with them. They're pretty much bullet proof. The same cannot be said for the LC200. Apart from the well known dusting issue from the dodgy air cleaner all modern diesels have issues with all the anti-pollution they're covered in, as well as being extremely vulnerable to sub-standard fuel. Toyota is still trading on a reputation built on the 80 and 100 series. Sadly the 200 series is not in the same class, it's just too complicated to reach high mileages without costing it's owner a small fortune in repair's.
I've owned 3 petrol patrols. They are cheaper to buy and maintain. They go forever (over 515,000 klm before mine was stolen) and go anywhere including the Kimberley, Cape and Gulf. Diesels seem overly expensive on maintenance to me - it's not fair for the owner. The landcruiser is very good but I find the center dash is disjointed design and doesn't match anything.
Looking at the comment section, it seems like a lot of people in the USA and AU have to pay way too much for the LC. It's sad really. Just having to pay around 25 grand on tax is a shame, because without that price bump, the LC is the prime choice for most of us. Edit: I do believe that the LC desperately needs a new generation.
@@MadDan78 Nah mate, sorry. The dealer network, availability for spare parts and the reliability of the LC in general is worth the price. I've yet to see an LC, old or modern, that has broken down on its own
@@WrektSK There is a reason Toyota need to have spare parts and it's cause they let you down. I have owned many Cruisers and I went from a 105 series which was an awesome vehicle to a LC200 and it was garbage. So many issues I just had to get rid of it after 110,000ks before I was up for injectors at $2000/injector. Busted my first CV at 14,000ks on the Tele Track and had to arrange a CV from Sydney (only 2 in Australia at the time) to be sent up to Cairns. Toyota didn't cover anything as I was running ARB suspension. I could write a book on the other issues I had with the Cruiser from ABS sensors, wiper bottle splitting, dust getting in the cabin, dust getting past the air filter, constant fuel filter issues etc. etc.
@@WrektSK Well I have! Mate's died on the Tanami Track. Cost a bundle for a tilt tray. His next one shit itself in the middle of the Simpson Desert in 2018 (computer died). Then the inlet manifold gunged up and it lost power. A fool and his money are easily parted! When is the public gunna wake up to itself - Toyotas are just as bad/good as all the other brands on the Australian market.
i have seen more 50 videos of patrol and cruiser comparison video,in each video nissan patrol is the best in terms of power,stability,spacious,ground clearance,etc 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻thumbs up for PATROL(ARMADA)
I live in France and worked in an insurance cpy for 8 years, as a technical breakdown phone operator. I only had 1call for a LC200 breakdown, an ultra-rare vehicule here, but the guy had to replace the whole injector line, and the quote was 10k€ 😑.
I worked in extended warranty in the middle east where these vehicles are dime a dozen and the y62 Patrol engine was pretty complex and had a good number of warranty claims. There were fine nozzles to get oil within the cylinder which would not work well with the wrong kind of oil. Noise from engine requiring engine rebuilds also occured. This was 5 years back though
@@jean-louishamid5285 we couldn't really ascertain if it was due to faulty oil as dealers never agreed to such accusations and as warranty provider we did not have the bandwidth to test the oil. Tiny metal particles were found in oil which showed internal failure.
my dad is a mechanic and the truth is, landcruisers are better all the way. patrols are known to break down very commonly and with the landcruiser there are a lot of choices. you've got the fj40, the 60 series, the 80 series, the 100 series and the 200. you've got the 79 series too. gq's are okay, but they rust easily. nissan had the same patrol shape for years and years. landcruisers are built to last. there are loads of 80 series landcruisers still on the road because they last.
I can't make decision, i love them both. If nissan patrol had diesel i would by him. I love overlanding on my toyota fortuner but this days I've got third son and my fortuner has become a little bit less roomy for my family. Help me deside what to take. I am also thinking about patrol with 4.0 engine.
The comment about the older dash setup and tech in the patrol warrants the comment; the vehicles offered overseas are up to date spec. The touch screen is larger and more modern and it is criminal that Nissan refuses to treat their Australian customers as they do their overseas clients. Your comment of dated dash followed by BUT is nothing more than a cop out. I sent an email to Nissan when the patrol was reintroduced into Australia, they rang me and kept implying that "they listen to their customers". I asked if that is the case, why does the Australian version have a dash set up and tech 5 years old and not the same as i.e. the UAE. She repeated that, they listen to their customers. When I repeated the question, she hung up. In 1979 when a manufacturer was testing a soon to be released large 4x4 here, I asked the techs and their managers why the same vehicle offered in North America and Europe was so much better finished and appointed than the one to be offered here? They told me, Australians don't question and will buy whatever we want to give them. Seems nothing has changed. We're still given the plastic, outdated dregs, while the rest if the world gets the cream. What a pity auto journalists aren't screaming from the rooftops about such things. Instead they lick boots in case their free rides are taken away.
Land Cruiser any day of the week. With Toyota you get reliability, a strong Diesel engine which is a lot better off-road and you know that it will get you home in one piece. Toyota > Nissan.
The petrol engine is a carry over from 100 series with the same 5 speed auto and 230kw. The lx 570 has the six speed auto and 270kw, still lacking to the patrol and a much higher price.
Almost bought the patrol. But last minute bought the Landcruiser and was the best choice. Especially with gvm upgrades and boat loading weights on the roof, if your loading up weight the 200 is easier to modify. Plus the diesel life span is much longer and will hold its value better here in Australia. Fuel and refuelling is safer. My investment was for over 10 years. If your buying a pavement princess go the patrol.
62 has 4.1 gvm upgrade available( 200 just lost its higher gvm ) 62 has more load rating, roof is rated to 200kgs (the 100 is a myth) just as many aftermarket accessories available for the 62, airbox seals in the 62 (doesn't let dust in) Petrol cheaper then diesel currently, petrol is available everywhere Diesel is, resale is actually favouring the Y62 in dollar per dollar... but enjoy your 200, but please adjust your reasons for buying.
@@WheelingWebberthe Nissan website is saying 100kg well 90kg with the legs and 65kg with the platform style rack . Link me the spec sheet that says 200kg
@@WheelingWebber Also there is simply not the same amount equipment out there for the y62. that's nonsense. Look at bull bars. No where near the same companies making y62 gear over the 200. Like who does scrub bars? Yes aftermarket for the y62 has grown. But still not even close.
@@WheelingWebber Also onto fuel. All minesites and farms run diesel only, 9 out of 10 travelers, traveling remote will be a diesel 4x4. The chances of getting diesel over petrol from north wa to north QLD is far more likely. The same applies to parts.
I'd rather have a 30k LC or Patrol that I could go Bush bashing in rather than an 100k version were I have to go explain to the wife why the bumpers hanging off and the sides are all scraped. Leave these two in the Eastern subs
Got to love the comments about the interior, one is for the city (Patrol), and the other is better for the bush (LC). The leather scratches and can be hard to clean etc. The cloth is a lot easier to get out the mud etc. Then you have the Crawl mode, which you didn't give it any justice or even look at. Go use it, its not for driving normally, but when bogged in sand or mud, or when climbing gravel it is amazing as hell. Just an extra system to help. While we are looking at the Prado (Toyota person here), I will say the Patrol's are, and always will be an equal weapon as the LC are.
In what world is cloth easier to get mud out compared to leather....... wipe vs full shampoo yea easy as lmao why did the base cruisers come out with vinyl seat apart from burning your legs through summer ease of maintenance and longevity
Patrol has a transfer case, if it's engaged then it's locked. This can be annoying when my toddler climbs through the car and puts it into 4H and I discover my steering sucks next time I leave the driveway. Landcruiser uses a Torsen centre diff so it mechanically locks whenever there is slip. I'm 6'7" and I only fit in the patrol, cruiser is too small inside the cabin.
Great reporting by CarAdvice experts. I would have to agree with them that the Nissan Patrol in a clear winner, both in terms of features and value. Welcome back Patrol.
I live in the US, and been in the 2020 Land Cruiser, the AU is not a good value. But, the US has a bigger screen, better safety systems, and is just better. Yet we do not get a diesel.
I prefer petrol engine as it turn out at the long run petrol engine is more cheaper to maintain and the cost of the fuel in Diesel engine will be offset by the cost of maintaining the Diesel engine. I learn it the hard way before with ford rangers.
I picked up at 2020 ti patrol is grey for 68500 drive away about a month ago. Having said that no one has stock and I'm waiting for it to arrive. So a fair bit less then the advertised price
Ernest Agyemang... thanks for your thought. Ask Scotty Kilmer who has worked on cars for 53 years, what he thinks about Toyota. Again, thanks for your way of thinking
@@eddiifuentes9298 Diesel cost $10000 more , it the same on pick up trucks in USA f250 xl petrol $42000usd , f250 xl diesel $53000usd . USA also doesn't have federal sales tax= no tax on retail. Price
I have a 2016 y 62 patrol I love the thing cost was the main reason for me buying the patrol I had a 100 series 2004 Sahara 4.7 petrol had it for many years and the only costs were maintenance and fuel .Now the patrol is a ti the fuel difference is not that much but the patrols power is so much more .I mainly use it to tow my avan camper and I don’t use it to climb the steepest mountain but the lighter bush tracks yes .Time will tell to see how reliable it’s going to be so far so good they are built solid underneath very good car well worth buying
I don't know about cars....but I have weekly experience riding them both and I love patrol V8....off road and on road....on off road very comfortable and smooth compared to LC
100% correct, people tried to defend thier Patrols and say Land Cruisers are shit but my grandmother had a 79 series and went all across Australia with it and had not one problem
@@lockyrichardson7195 But Richie, here's the difference - I bought a new TD42 and went across MOST of Australia then came home and had enough left over to put an extension on the house! Toyota are good, but not $20k 'gooder'.
It should be noted that the LC 200 has six gears but only but 5 ever work because the sixth comes on at +110km/hr, It is as thirsty when towing often reaching well over 28l per 100km, the engine drinks oil as fast as diesel, with less equipment, $30+k more, drives like a boat, gutless, and in real terms not as reliable as thought because most of them are driven by old retirees at 80 km/hr and serviced and sold before they reach 150k. They break suspensions, diffs, cv's, injectors are suspect and actually bend their rails when driven hard. Toyota works hard to cover up this fact. The economy of the Nissan is far better than people think. Most owners drive the car hard which makes for poor numbers. But if you drive sensibly on the hwy it its 12l/100km or better. Towing 22l/100km ( 2.8T full caravan). Standard y62 did Cape York averaging 13.8l/100km. Also if you want the true consumption figures on the LC200 you need to ignore the car consumption readout because it lies. Above all when you drive the Nissan you simply love it.
I am buying a patrol simply because its the heaviest SUV around at almost 3 tonne. I checked out some others in the 2,000-2350kg range and they are just too light in their quest for fuel economy although a lot of them are bloody nice inside for a cheap price like the 2021 ssangyong rexton. If you search 'vehicle weight crash' you can see what two 5 star rated cars hitting each other when one is 500kg heavier is like. Not pretty for the lighter vehicle. Also monash uni do real crash statistics to show which vehicles are safe and the correlation between weight and injuries/fatalities is very shocking. So simply for the safety of a huge, high, long and heavy vehicle in protecting my family if we ever happen to be involved in an accident. Its worth it for me. Upgrading from a mitsubishi 380 sedan by the way. I will be getting a 2022 patrol with the upgraded interior. I do not want to see that fake woodgrain for the next 20 years haha
If you do a test like this you have to talk about re-sale value.! The 200 Series has the best re-sale value of any vehicle I know of. When it comes to sell your vehicle you will get $80k with KM's under 100k. Also if you go off road the 200 series has far more range. Petrol Vehicles don't offer that. Off course it depends on what you are using the vehicle for.
You never think of a vehicle as resale, that’s like an investment, you buy a house if you want resale and not a car. For a car you buy the best value for money for your leisure and recreation not purchase what you don’t like because of resale. That’s scruge mcduck mindset.
I ended up with a new Prado last year after going to the dealer intending to buy a LC200. Whole and solely because the price of entry for what you get inside a Landcruiser at the same spec and features as the Prado we got is BULLSHIT ridiculous for the money!!
And the current Prado is as big as an 80series anyway. Prado makes more sense that a 200, pitty they dont want to fit a better suited engine to the prado, they feel a little underpowered.
Own both, have spent a fortune on the 200 series, Our close to stock Y62 is still better offroad, better towing, and they use around the same amount of fuel,
Love the comparisons. But both drivers should drive both cars. Can someone tell me how spark ignition keeps working on the patrol when crossing a deep river?
The comment sections under LC vs Patrol videos are usually hilarious. This one is still very wise at the moment...
ohh just wait until the kids wake up tomorrow, defending their dads 4wd.

Reliability wise nothing can beat the LC !
Ah yes that toyota reputation of reliability comes in, but that was built on the 80/105 series and 70 series. Since then they are no more reliable than any other car with I'd say even less reliability with the 200 against the y62. The y62 has no major issue known unlike the 200 (injectors, airbox leaks, fuel level sensor shutting vehicle down randomly, egr+dpf issues aswell just to name a few)
Well, sorry but the patrol just beat you LC😎
Exactly, anybody that thinks Renault can provide any kind of reliability needs to learn how to read
Is the Patrol considered a reliable vehicle? Compared to most vehicles or compared to Toyotas?
I have friends (I live in the UAE) who had bought their Nissan patrol way back in 2010-2011 and still having no problems in their cars... I was looking for a car to buy and all my friends told me that if u want a car that can last a minimum of 10-15 years, u gotta buy the patrol... And i ended up gettting one and it is AMAZING...And in addition, its got a lot of resale value in UAE... i dont know how it is in the other places... I say u go for it !!!
I don’t think any car can beat the Toyota Land Cruiser in reliability, my grandmother had an older land cruiser ( don’t know which series) and drove all across Australia with it and had not one problem.

"does not dust its motor" What does this mean?
Rod Pace land cruiser air boxes don’t seal very well and are known to suck in dust and cause engine failure even on low km engines. There’s a few fixes but it’s been a common issue that Toyota have failed to address. DPF is also an issue on newer Toyota’s.
Are new nissan patrols very reliable?
@@abovethelaw4417 So far there have been no inherent or recurring problems that I've heard of.
I prefer the land cruiser 70 series over these, less expensive and reliable
Nissan Patrol - the shadowed real champion in 4wd suv world.
6:50 looks like that Cruiser copped a beating on that side step
wtf.....
Nissan's petrol is the worst off road SUV but the land cruiser sahara is even better
Namal Jayasinghe both are pretty pointless in the real ruff off-road stuff as they are both way to big and have IFS (Patrol fully independent) is biased to on road handling rather than flexing.
Test a Sahara and the top of the line Nissan head to head
If you buy a Land Cruiser, it can be used for three generations
You’re right, the styling and interior are from 3 generations ago and it’ll be used for another 3. Toyota and Nissan have fallen asleep at the wheel. Who does wood grain for god sake?!?
I've my Dad's 1980 Nissan Patrol, still enjoying it and even my kid loves it
Same goes to Patrol. Longevity in motors is all about maintenance.
Thad land cruiser it's the cheapest version, but land cruiser it is the best overall
The Landcruiser has a letter box at the top of its snorkel.

I here ya, those things are fuckin ugly. And 500 bucks extra, no thanks, get any of the other brands for around the same dough..
Yeah in case postie is delivering mails in the bush. :)
You dont need to lock the center diff in the Patrol, it is locked when you are in 4x4...
gg
CORRECTION: The LC200 uses a full-time 4wd via a centre-differential feeding power to both front and rear axles - hence why it needs a seperate locking system on this diff. The Patrol has no centre-differential. Instead it utilises a clutch pack on its transfer case which, when engaged sends power to the front axle. In AUTO mode, drive is sent to the rear axle only, with drive only being sent to the front axle when slip is detected. If 4wd-HI or 4wd-LO is selected then said clutch pack is permanently engaged and you have a ‘locked’ 4wd system.
These guys haven't heard of the VXR, VXS, & GXR trim of the LC 200. That's why this review is not fair. Do some more research guys.
They are middle Eastern only, that case patrol platinum is there to destroy the snoozer
@@uww.v patrol can’t even compete with a base cruiser
Lots of hate for the LC, surprising to see these comments
City Boys, go outback or anywhere rural in Australia, cattle stations etc theres only Toyota and cruisers. Theres a reason for that.
@@missjessicalawrence 3 reasons for that. One is lack of good petrol out country (alot of places don't even have it) along with prices of it or if on cattle stations or mines the machines/tractors use diesel so it's easier to just tank in 1000's of litres in at once rather than get a separate batch of petrol. Also toyota has incredible fleet/business deals so they can be cheaper if bought in bulk. Then you've got that toyota reputation of reliability, but that was built on the 80/105 series and 70 series. Since then they are no more reliable than any other car with I'd say even less reliability with the 200 against the y62. The y62 has no major issue known unlike the 200 (injectors, airbox leaks, fuel level sensor shutting vehicle down randomly, egr+dpf issues aswell just to name a few)
@@missjessicalawrence Sorry Jessica, I'm with Thorn. Toyota may have built its reputation back in the day but now it's taking a beating. I work on the things and I just can't believe people keep buying them. Everything else on the road is just as good (and just as bad). Toyota shouldn't take credit for their cars, they should take credit for their ability to brainwash the public.
@@tcmx712 as soon as the warranty runs out, this Nissan will be shit like all other nissans. If toyotas reliability has gone down then nissans is non existent. People take their patrols back for repairs much more often any 200 series

@@craigdavid6668 hahaha easily but who wants the dirty diesel junk... not me :)
I will choose the Patrol. Better value for money and 90% of the time you're gonna be on-road, not off-road. Leather interior and rear locker with the base model. It's an obvious choice. The Patrol definitely looks more modern and sophisticated and you can save that 20 Grand and turn it into a weapon. More bang for your buck. Shame it's not the UAE interior tho. Also, I currently have a diesel rig and the cost of running on diesel is obviously cheaper but, it's much more expensive to maintain and get parts for the engine and it's very loud. If you want to relax and be comfortable definitely petrol V8.
If you’re worried about saving money you’re going to be very disappointed when you see the depreciation on the Patrol.......
Went out two years ago to buy a 200 series and came home with a Ti Patrol. Haven't regretted it once. It's simply a better vehicle in every way, and it's actually $30,000 cheaper than a similar spec VX cruiser. How anyone could spend $90k+ on a GXL cruiser is beyond me. They are absolutely poverty spec inside, a total ripoff, you get more features on a $20k Hyundai.
@Trimat - Simple problem called reliability. The LC if properly maintained will do an excess of 1 000 000km relatively trouble free with hard driving included. Let's how the other others stack up?
@@louvendran7273 Problem for the LC you mean? The Y62 has been on the market in Aus since 2013, and the world market since 2010. Apart from a timing chain issue on series one, there have been no systemic reliability issues with them. They're pretty much bullet proof. The same cannot be said for the LC200. Apart from the well known dusting issue from the dodgy air cleaner all modern diesels have issues with all the anti-pollution they're covered in, as well as being extremely vulnerable to sub-standard fuel. Toyota is still trading on a reputation built on the 80 and 100 series. Sadly the 200 series is not in the same class, it's just too complicated to reach high mileages without costing it's owner a small fortune in repair's.
I've owned 3 petrol patrols.
They are cheaper to buy and maintain. They go forever (over 515,000 klm before mine was stolen) and go anywhere including the Kimberley, Cape and Gulf.
Diesels seem overly expensive on maintenance to me - it's not fair for the owner.
The landcruiser is very good but I find the center dash is disjointed design and doesn't match anything.
Looking at the comment section, it seems like a lot of people in the USA and AU have to pay way too much for the LC. It's sad really. Just having to pay around 25 grand on tax is a shame, because without that price bump, the LC is the prime choice for most of us.
Edit: I do believe that the LC desperately needs a new generation.
even at the same price point... 62 is much better value
@@MadDan78 Nah mate, sorry. The dealer network, availability for spare parts and the reliability of the LC in general is worth the price. I've yet to see an LC, old or modern, that has broken down on its own
@@WrektSK There is a reason Toyota need to have spare parts and it's cause they let you down. I have owned many Cruisers and I went from a 105 series which was an awesome vehicle to a LC200 and it was garbage. So many issues I just had to get rid of it after 110,000ks before I was up for injectors at $2000/injector. Busted my first CV at 14,000ks on the Tele Track and had to arrange a CV from Sydney (only 2 in Australia at the time) to be sent up to Cairns. Toyota didn't cover anything as I was running ARB suspension. I could write a book on the other issues I had with the Cruiser from ABS sensors, wiper bottle splitting, dust getting in the cabin, dust getting past the air filter, constant fuel filter issues etc. etc.
@@aussieoffroadnut1109 Our experiences differ with Toyota then. That's all I can say.
@@WrektSK Well I have! Mate's died on the Tanami Track. Cost a bundle for a tilt tray. His next one shit itself in the middle of the Simpson Desert in 2018 (computer died). Then the inlet manifold gunged up and it lost power. A fool and his money are easily parted! When is the public gunna wake up to itself - Toyotas are just as bad/good as all the other brands on the Australian market.
Hey guys...I don’t know where is it y’all at but from where am at the Landcruiser is a legendary truck for that patrol..no matter what trim level
Diesel here in the Philippines because diesel is almost half the cost of petrol here
In my country ,if we can afford these, we dont care about diesel petrol price.
Very 2 great beasts.
Nissan Patrol nice ! Great price !
i have seen more 50 videos of patrol and cruiser comparison video,in each video nissan patrol is the best in terms of power,stability,spacious,ground clearance,etc 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻thumbs up for PATROL(ARMADA)
Land Cruiser is the King of off road not even ford or other brands can come close..
I live in France and worked in an insurance cpy for 8 years, as a technical breakdown phone operator. I only had 1call for a LC200 breakdown, an ultra-rare vehicule here, but the guy had to replace the whole injector line, and the quote was 10k€ 😑.
I worked in extended warranty in the middle east where these vehicles are dime a dozen and the y62 Patrol engine was pretty complex and had a good number of warranty claims. There were fine nozzles to get oil within the cylinder which would not work well with the wrong kind of oil. Noise from engine requiring engine rebuilds also occured. This was 5 years back though
@@roshangomez Very interesting! Do you know whether the noisy ones had the wrong oil or would you consider it a different problem altogether?
@@jean-louishamid5285 we couldn't really ascertain if it was due to faulty oil as dealers never agreed to such accusations and as warranty provider we did not have the bandwidth to test the oil. Tiny metal particles were found in oil which showed internal failure.
@@roshangomez I guess using premium oil is a must no matter what with such a complex engine.
LC200 anyday everyday... Patrol is good but the LC is Legendary and one hell of a platform with insane aftermarket support... you get what you pay for
Yes and with the land cruiser you pay a lot for a shit box
my dad is a mechanic and the truth is, landcruisers are better all the way. patrols are known to break down very commonly and with the landcruiser there are a lot of choices. you've got the fj40, the 60 series, the 80 series, the 100 series and the 200. you've got the 79 series too. gq's are okay, but they rust easily. nissan had the same patrol shape for years and years. landcruisers are built to last. there are loads of 80 series landcruisers still on the road because they last.
Landcruiser always
I can't make decision, i love them both. If nissan patrol had diesel i would by him. I love overlanding on my toyota fortuner but this days I've got third son and my fortuner has become a little bit less roomy for my family. Help me deside what to take. I am also thinking about patrol with 4.0 engine.
In the long run probably better buying a petrol, it would be cheaper to replace the engine then it is to fix a diesel
The comment about the older dash setup and tech in the patrol warrants the comment; the vehicles offered overseas are up to date spec. The touch screen is larger and more modern and it is criminal that Nissan refuses to treat their Australian customers as they do their overseas clients. Your comment of dated dash followed by BUT is nothing more than a cop out. I sent an email to Nissan when the patrol was reintroduced into Australia, they rang me and kept implying that "they listen to their customers". I asked if that is the case, why does the Australian version have a dash set up and tech 5 years old and not the same as i.e. the UAE. She repeated that, they listen to their customers. When I repeated the question, she hung up. In 1979 when a manufacturer was testing a soon to be released large 4x4 here, I asked the techs and their managers why the same vehicle offered in North America and Europe was so much better finished and appointed than the one to be offered here? They told me, Australians don't question and will buy whatever we want to give them. Seems nothing has changed. We're still given the plastic, outdated dregs, while the rest if the world gets the cream. What a pity auto journalists aren't screaming from the rooftops about such things. Instead they lick boots in case their free rides are taken away.
Land Cruiser any day of the week. With Toyota you get reliability, a strong Diesel engine which is a lot better off-road and you know that it will get you home in one piece.
Toyota > Nissan.
Hey Mate, great comparison.. The LC200 also have a 5.7lt Petrol VX engine sold in middle east (no diesel engine sold there) .. As fitted Lx570. Thanks
The petrol engine is a carry over from 100 series with the same 5 speed auto and 230kw. The lx 570 has the six speed auto and 270kw, still lacking to the patrol and a much higher price.
Wow. I thought the snorkel was one of these pet boxes for cats
Almost bought the patrol. But last minute bought the Landcruiser and was the best choice. Especially with gvm upgrades and boat loading weights on the roof, if your loading up weight the 200 is easier to modify. Plus the diesel life span is much longer and will hold its value better here in Australia. Fuel and refuelling is safer. My investment was for over 10 years. If your buying a pavement princess go the patrol.
62 has 4.1 gvm upgrade available( 200 just lost its higher gvm ) 62 has more load rating, roof is rated to 200kgs (the 100 is a myth) just as many aftermarket accessories available for the 62, airbox seals in the 62 (doesn't let dust in) Petrol cheaper then diesel currently, petrol is available everywhere Diesel is, resale is actually favouring the Y62 in dollar per dollar...
but enjoy your 200, but please adjust your reasons for buying.
@@WheelingWebberthe Nissan website is saying 100kg well 90kg with the legs and 65kg with the platform style rack . Link me the spec sheet that says 200kg
@@WheelingWebber Also there is simply not the same amount equipment out there for the y62. that's nonsense. Look at bull bars. No where near the same companies making y62 gear over the 200. Like who does scrub bars? Yes aftermarket for the y62 has grown. But still not even close.
@@WheelingWebber Also onto fuel. All minesites and farms run diesel only, 9 out of 10 travelers, traveling remote will be a diesel 4x4. The chances of getting diesel over petrol from north wa to north QLD is far more likely. The same applies to parts.

Crawl control is good to unstuck yourself in sands or in muds. In short, do not need it unless it is really challenging road
Got to love the comments about the interior, one is for the city (Patrol), and the other is better for the bush (LC). The leather scratches and can be hard to clean etc. The cloth is a lot easier to get out the mud etc.
Then you have the Crawl mode, which you didn't give it any justice or even look at. Go use it, its not for driving normally, but when bogged in sand or mud, or when climbing gravel it is amazing as hell. Just an extra system to help.
While we are looking at the Prado (Toyota person here), I will say the Patrol's are, and always will be an equal weapon as the LC are.
In what world is cloth easier to get mud out compared to leather....... wipe vs full shampoo yea easy as lmao why did the base cruisers come out with vinyl seat apart from burning your legs through summer ease of maintenance and longevity

Patrol has a transfer case, if it's engaged then it's locked. This can be annoying when my toddler climbs through the car and puts it into 4H and I discover my steering sucks next time I leave the driveway. Landcruiser uses a Torsen centre diff so it mechanically locks whenever there is slip.
I'm 6'7" and I only fit in the patrol, cruiser is too small inside the cabin.
Why Australia still getting the old interior in the Nissan Y62 ?
I think they did it just to put price down a little bit more. To make people chose Patrol against LC200

Great reporting by CarAdvice experts. I would have to agree with them that the Nissan Patrol in a clear winner, both in terms of features and value. Welcome back Patrol.
I live in the US, and been in the 2020 Land Cruiser, the AU is not a good value. But, the US has a bigger screen, better safety systems, and is just better. Yet we do not get a diesel.
That claimed feul consumption in the cruiser is just stupid! What a lie!
I prefer petrol engine as it turn out at the long run petrol engine is more cheaper to maintain and the cost of the fuel in Diesel engine will be offset by the cost of maintaining the Diesel engine. I learn it the hard way before with ford rangers.
Toyota land cruiser hand up anytime.

Toyota buyers have lost their minds.
Not when they go to sell them. Check out what a 10 year old cruiser is worth. Then compare a Mercedes to a land cruiser after 10 years of resale

@@lockyrichardson7195 But Richie, here's the difference - I bought a new TD42 and went across MOST of Australia then came home and had enough left over to put an extension on the house! Toyota are good, but not $20k 'gooder'.
It should be noted that the LC 200 has six gears but only but 5 ever work because the sixth comes on at +110km/hr, It is as thirsty when towing often reaching well over 28l per 100km, the engine drinks oil as fast as diesel, with less equipment, $30+k more, drives like a boat, gutless, and in real terms not as reliable as thought because most of them are driven by old retirees at 80 km/hr and serviced and sold before they reach 150k. They break suspensions, diffs, cv's, injectors are suspect and actually bend their rails when driven hard. Toyota works hard to cover up this fact. The economy of the Nissan is far better than people think. Most owners drive the car hard which makes for poor numbers. But if you drive sensibly on the hwy it its 12l/100km or better. Towing 22l/100km ( 2.8T full caravan). Standard y62 did Cape York averaging 13.8l/100km. Also if you want the true consumption figures on the LC200 you need to ignore the car consumption readout because it lies. Above all when you drive the Nissan you simply love it.
I am buying a patrol simply because its the heaviest SUV around at almost 3 tonne. I checked out some others in the 2,000-2350kg range and they are just too light in their quest for fuel economy although a lot of them are bloody nice inside for a cheap price like the 2021 ssangyong rexton.
If you search 'vehicle weight crash' you can see what two 5 star rated cars hitting each other when one is 500kg heavier is like. Not pretty for the lighter vehicle. Also monash uni do real crash statistics to show which vehicles are safe and the correlation between weight and injuries/fatalities is very shocking.
So simply for the safety of a huge, high, long and heavy vehicle in protecting my family if we ever happen to be involved in an accident. Its worth it for me. Upgrading from a mitsubishi 380 sedan by the way.

If you do a test like this you have to talk about re-sale value.! The 200 Series has the best re-sale value of any vehicle I know of. When it comes to sell your vehicle you will get $80k with KM's under 100k. Also if you go off road the 200 series has far more range. Petrol Vehicles don't offer that. Off course it depends on what you are using the vehicle for.
You never think of a vehicle as resale, that’s like an investment, you buy a house if you want resale and not a car. For a car you buy the best value for money for your leisure and recreation not purchase what you don’t like because of resale.
That’s scruge mcduck mindset.
Land Cruiser for sure, V8 Diesel, reliable, resale value, 70% of Africa's 4x4 vehicle's is Land Cruiser

I'll stick with my GX460 😁
I ended up with a new Prado last year after going to the dealer intending to buy a LC200. Whole and solely because the price of entry for what you get inside a Landcruiser at the same spec and features as the Prado we got is BULLSHIT ridiculous for the money!!
And the current Prado is as big as an 80series anyway.
Prado makes more sense that a 200, pitty they dont want to fit a better suited engine to the prado, they feel a little underpowered.
I agree the GXL 200 interior looks like it's from 1988.
Own both, have spent a fortune on the 200 series, Our close to stock Y62 is still better offroad, better towing, and they use around the same amount of fuel,
Why am I finding this hard to believe.
Can you elaborate what fortune you spent on the LC200?
Love the comparisons. But both drivers should drive both cars.
Can someone tell me how spark ignition keeps working on the patrol when crossing a deep river?
