Nissan reveals the all-new Nissan Patrol Y63, a refined but tough full-size SUV that’s about to take over streets and trails worldwide. With cutting-edge features, strong engines, and an updated design, this flagship SUV is the newest model of Nissan’s oldest-running nameplate — launched back in 1951!
