DubiCompare: Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Vs Nissan Patrol: Clash Of The Japanese SUV Titans!
On this week’s edition of DubiCompare, we are pitting the two most iconic Japanese SUVs against each other, the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 and the Nissan Patrol. This is a serious battle of titans of the SUV world and we are not messing around. This comparison article looks at the dimensions, design, features and mechanicals of the current-generation Land Cruiser and the Nissan Patrol. We will also look at some of the spin-off series that these two SUVs have spawned over the years.?
But what this article will not be is a trip down memory lane. For that, we have two detailed articles discussing the history of the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Nissan Patrol features under the DubiCars Car Spotlight. Here are the links:
Enjoy the walk down the history lane, it is worth it. Now back to the ultimate face-off.
In terms of dimension, the Nissan Patrol is a clear winner with a longer wheelbase, taller ground clearance and a larger fuel tank. This means the Patrol is more practical and can go over larger boulders. However, the boot space on the LC is a bit bigger.
Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Vs Nissan Patrol: Exterior Design
In terms of design, the Land Cruiser 300 and the Nissan Patrol are evenly matched. Both have subtle boxy styling. The straight-up stance provides an imposing road presence for both SUVs. However, Nissan and Toyota do offer a sporty version of both SUVs called the Patrol Nismo and Land Cruiser 300 GR-Sport.?
Out of the two sporty versions, the Nismo is a better pick compared to the GR-Sport as Nissan has given it more power, bigger wheels and some striking-looking bumpers. While the GR-Sport gets smaller 18-inch wheels catering to off-road credentials. Now let’s see some exterior feature comparison.
Toyota Land Cruiser 300 Vs Nissan Patrol: Interiors & Features?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it - the Japanese have taken this theory a bit too seriously. The LC and the Patrol have subtle interiors with a good amount of tech. But given the real estate on the inside, both SUVs could do with a couple of more features. However, the biggest advantage of the Nissan Patrol is its eight-seat configuration over the seven-seat layout of the LC 300. Also, as we saw earlier, it has more room on the inside because of a longer wheelbase.
