All versions of the Nissan Patrolare now $5000 more expensive than before, following a range-wide price increase from August 1.
As of this month, the entry-level Ti variant is priced at $95,600, the mid-range Ti-L at $107,100 and hardcore Warrior flagship at $110,660. All prices exclude on-road costs.
The price rise follows the release of an updated MY25 version in April, bringing the from the US-market Nissan Armada in exchange for price hikes of between $140 and $1340.

However, the Patrol still costs around the same as it did a decade ago in July 2015, before Nissan trimmed up to $27,500 from the price of the then-flagship Ti-L variant and reduced the base Ti price from $93,330 to just $69,990 plus on-roads.
And the long-running sixth-generation Patrol remains more affordable than its nearest rival, the V6 diesel-powered Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series priced between $97,990 and $146,910.
Nissan Australia has blamed a range of factors for hiking prices across the recently facelifted MY25 Patrol range, including the federal government’s new automotive emissions legislation known as the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard (NVES).
“There is a price increase across the Patrol range effective August 1st, 2025,” said Nissan in a statement today.
“A range of factors contribute to the pricing of a vehicle including cost of raw materials, logistics, foreign exchange rates, market dynamics and regulatory considerations such as NVES.”
From July 1, automakers began accruing financial penalties for exceeding fleet-wide CO2 limits, based on specific emissions targets for the light and heavy passenger vehicles sell.
Thanks to its 5.6-litre petrol V8, the Patrol is one of Australia’s highest-emitting new models, with an official CO2 output of 334 grams per kilometre – well over the 216g/km target for light commercial vehicles and large off-road SUVs for 2025.
Despite being launched way back in 2010 (2013 in Australia), the Y62 Patrol continues to sell at record levels, with more than 8000 sold in 2024.
If sales continue at that pace, the Patrol could attract almost $100 million worth of NVES penalties over the next 12 months – and even more in subsequent years – before accounting for credits earned by zero- and low-emissions models that undercut their CO2 targets.
The Y62 will also need to comply with the stricter Euro 6 emissions standard under a new Australian Design Rule that comes into effect for heavy vehicles from November 1, unless Nissan has it recategorised as a Euro 5-compliant light vehicle by reducing its gross vehicle mass (GVM) to under 3500kg via a payload reduction.
When the seventh-generation Y63 Patrol finally becomes available to Australians in 2027, potentially topped by a Nismo flagship, it will come with a downsized 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 that produces 317kW of power and 700Nm of torque, meaning it will offer more performance and lower emissions than the Y62’s 298kW/560Nm V8.
