3.5
out of 5
Based on feedback from Sri Lankan owners, the 2013 Nissan Patrol is mainly appreciated for its combination of luxury-level comfort and serious off-road capability. Many buyers choose it for family travel because the spacious cabin remains comfortable even during long-distance journeys with multiple passengers. The strong V8 engine also provides effortless highway performance and smooth cruising ability. However, fuel costs and maintenance expenses remain significantly higher than smaller SUVs available in Sri Lanka. The Patrol mainly suits buyers prioritizing comfort, road presence, and power rather than economical daily driving.

Exterior Design
Local driver discussions suggest the Patrol still maintains strong visual presence on Sri Lankan roads. The large chrome grille, wide body structure, and tall stance help it look premium even compared to newer SUVs. Many owners also appreciate the balance between rugged SUV styling and luxury-focused exterior design elements. The large wheels and high ground clearance further enhance its commanding appearance. However, some buyers feel certain design elements now appear slightly dated beside recently updated luxury SUVs from Japanese and European competitors entering the Sri Lankan market.
