Never took off like it should because Australians are obsessed with diesel power in a 4wd
We have a 2017 y62 Ti purchase new. These are a very nicely engineered large body on frame 4wd with incredible value for money compared to its only real competitor - the Landcruiser 200 series. These have never taken off or sold in anywhere near the same numbers due to a lack of a diesel drivetrain. However, demand has exceeded supply for the last few years as the true capability and value of these vehicles becomes known. Australias are a fickle breed when it comes to their 4wds: "they must be diesel and have solid front and rear axles otherwis...Read more
e they are hopeless off road and use too much fuel" Pros. -Value for money - base model Ti on road about 20-25k less than Landcruiser VX (most similar in terms of equipment) -Japanese build quality -Incredibly refined and responsive 5.6l v8 engine with 90% max torque from 1600 rpm but power and torque from idle to 6000rpm -Massive space (bigger than Landcruiser) -Fully independent hydraulically linked suspension offers handling and cornering that defy the size of the vehicle -Very quiet at highway speed. No wind noise, very little tyre noise and engine only audible under load (but sounds great under acceleration) -Excellent unmodified off-road performance with standard rear LSD/diff lock. Many tests show more capable than the Landcruiser.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Outstanding vehicle and outstanding value
This is the best 4WD I’ve owned. Previous 4WD was a Y61, the Y62 is better in every way. The ride quality is extremely comfortable and it handles like a car. The vehicle is large but has ample room for 5 adults plus the 3rd would comfortably fit 3 kids.
The motor is outstanding, loads of power and fuel consumption combined of 14.5l/100 which is the same as my Y61. 10l/100 on the freeway at 110km/h.
Being $30,000 cheaper than the problem plagued 200 series Landcruiser is just the icing on the cake.

How much you can save from a Sahara $35k more paid
I have looking at this car for 3 years before I decided to keep one home. Performance is excellent when I find 200 is just far behind me when I slightly touch the accelerator.
Interior ...it is a joke 200 carries a few pieces of wood.
Running cost is a trick...
$35k cheaper than Sahara... How many km of petrol cost difference?
Stupid answer is 1,000,000 km. I think we dump the Patrol Y62 and the Sahara long time ago when we drove 500,000 km

Simply the best.
Good bye 200 hello to a whole new world of awesome.
So much better than the old 200 in every way.
Just drive one. Then decide.
It outperforms the very dated 200 design in every way.
The fuel consumption isn't what you're led to believe and it most instances so far is better than the 200 on fuel.

Best 4wd Nissan ever made, best 4wd on the market
Perfect 4wd. Sooooo much better than having to worry about dusted engines, blown turbos, failing fuel systems etc the list goes on. Don't know why people keep buying the landcruiser 200 they're just overpriced POS. Y62 suspension=better, fuel consumption=same, interior dimensions=better, engine=better everything is just better in the y62. Oh and it's about 20k cheaper. Handling is absolutely the best, reliability is the best, air con is made for the Middle East so very fast to cool down. Only downside is having every 200 owner try to justify their 200 purchase and why they didn't get the y62

Best 4WD
I love everything about this car, average 14.7L per 100km with a mix of city and country, powerful and the most comfortable ride, knew I would buy it after 10 seconds inside.
Value for money, couldn't get any better, those who complain about no diesel, take one for a drive!!

Best 4x4 ive had in 20 years.
Y62 easily outperforms the toyotas. Tows better, drives better, and has a lot more for the similar model cruiser. (and 25k cheaper). Reading some of these reviews ill bet most have no idea they are talking about the y62. some1 even mentioned it has 17" rims hahaha.. if you want to know about a vehicle talk to its owners. not silly places like this. There are a couple of awsome FB pages that give u all real world experiences.
Is it perfect? no.. but for the money there is nothing close.

Great car until you reach 100 000klms
I purchased my Y62 in August 2014 with 33 000klms on it, the vehicle has 97 000klms on the clock now and the Alternator has disintegrated! with a replacement value of over $2500. I approached Nissan for a goodwill gesture getting a very poor response.
A car of this level should last a lot longer and customer service should be fantastic.

Waste of Money, going to sell it and go back to the lc200 2016
Just got brand new 2016 Ti-L model, always been a Nissan fan from having s13, s15 and nav d22. So I decided I will stick to Nissan because all my mates has lc200 (Love them). Now I've done about 10k with it, and hate it. Off road is ok, HBMC helped but not as good as LC200 off road crawl control, leather is starting to lift not glued properly, GPS is hard to see around the early after noon. Steering control keeps on getting bump while driving. Power wise is ok but people rave how quick it is but I don't think so, It will bet the lc200 v8 twin t...Read more
urbo tho we are petrol. Over all I will only give it 1 star because only a few months old and leather is coming apart, and decide to sell it and get a lc200 gxl. Good points. leg room in the back. 3.5t standard provides steering angle, tyre pressure and compass Bad Points Drinks like no tomorrow, will not take out bush Off road didn't perform wellSimilar opinion?

Really it worth a look
It's smooth and powerful tows great fuel consumption is very acceptable for a car of its size and weight not a car for bush bashing but a highly capable tourer comfortable well built
Highly recommend. That if you are after a large 4wd for touring/towing it worth the time to look at one
