What is miles per pound?

Fuel economy

A more stringent standard for fuel economy (WLTP) was introduced from September 2017, and this model was not required to undergo that test. Its fuel economy measured under the previous test system was 25 - 26 mpg. However these figures are less likely to be achievable in real world driving and so should never be compared to another car's mpg which was measured under the newer, more realistic WLTP system.

Although it’s less expensive than a Mitsubishi Shogun or Land Cruiser, it’s still not cheap. Nissan dealer servicing tends to be good value, but parts can be expensive. The 3.0 Di is quite frugal for such a big car with an average of 26mpg but insurance is high at group 15 for the most models

The Patrol is a polluting model, with the 3.0-litre Di engine emitting 288g/km of CO2 and averaging 26mpg.

A favourite in danger zones, deserts and the tropics, the Patrol is tough, has an unblemished reliability record and is highly unlikely to let you down.
