Comparison: height Nissan Patrol vs. competitors 2024

Grab a tape measure, a stepladder, and perhaps a small crane, because we're going to talk about the Nissan Patrol’s stately height, a figure that's more closely related to a tower than your run-of-the-mill garden fence. The current model of this Japanese monolith looms majestically, its height casting a shadow over many lesser vehicles. Yet, its vertical prowess is not just about bragging rights at the local truck meet; it's about commanding a view of the road that lesser cars can only dream of as they stare wistfully at your lofty bumper.

Nissan Patrol - How has the height changed over the generations?

If you delve into the history books or rather the history of SUV brochures, you'll see that the Nissan Patrol’s altitude hasn't stayed constant. From the Y60 circa 1988, standing proud at 1810 mm, to the Y61, which shot up by 30mm to 1840 mm, the Patrol clearly decided to stretch its legs as it matured, a growth spurt coinciding with an increased appetite for luggage, with the trunk size growing alongside the height. But it’s not just about size – with each extra millimetre, the Patrol’s presence on the road became all the more imposing.

The height compared to other Nissan models

Turn your gaze towards the Nissan family tree, and you'd notice that the Patrol's height is the crown amongst its siblings. Even the robust Nissan Primastar’s 1971 mm pales when placed next to the Patrol’s stateliness. The likes of the dinky Nissan Micra and even the capacious Nissan Townstar EV Kombi look upward, perhaps with a mix of admiration and envy. It’s the automotive equivalent of standing next to a professional basketball player – everyone else just looks a little, shall we say, compact.

How does the height of the Nissan Patrol compare to it's nearest competitors?

Now, compared to other brutes in the SUV savannah, the Patrol still stands tall. The Mitsubishi Pajero tries hard but falls short at 1845 mm, while the rugged Jeep Grand Cherokee stretches to 1805 mm, not bad, but not quite as nosebleed-inducing as the Patrol. Meanwhile, the Hyundai Terrano scurries around at 1830 mm, audacious, sure, but not quite king of the hill. It's clear; when it comes to height, others may come close, but the Nissan Patrol wears the crown among the 4-wheel giants, its weighty presence a testament to the philosophy that when it comes to cars, as in real estate, it's all about location, location, altitude.
