7th Gen Nissan Patrol

[Dr.Kamiya]

Full tank LX570



(taken a few years back, when gas prices were higher than they are now)

the savings between a big diesel suv and a big gas suv is probably only 100k a year for 20k kms

Not so relevant at that price range

Or you could save 200k+ a year and get an RX350h

Lets be honest, people who buy an RX350h are not in it for the fuel economy, but for a big and reliable no-coding SUV with a badge

Yes, those are quite obvious.

But in the local market, sometimes these buyers also have different reasons for buying them and looks like you forgot to mention one thing; resale value. Something largely relevant esp. amongst third-party oto dealer networks out there.

FWIW I think the most exciting thing about the new Patrol is the GTR derived V6TT engine if we get that variant. For sure there will be power tunes done for it.

honestly, I don't think someone buying a Nissan is thinking of "resale value"

correct. the same goes with those buying China cars or European cars.

Yes pero i only mentioned that kasi that's what separates the lc300 from its main rivals. The brand is already obvious but it's the only luxury full-size suv with a diesel. So it can hold its value well in the long run, unlike if it came with a huge petrol engine. Even 5-year old lc200s still fetch above the 3m mark.
