MORE POWERFUL NISSAN PATROL GR FOR THE UK MARKET

A new, more powerful and refined version of the Patrol GR is to go on sale in the UK during May 2000.

Debuting at the Geneva Motor Show, Nissan’s flagship 4x4 gains a potent 3.0-litre direct injection engine and sophisticated new automatic transmission which, combined with Nissan’s 4WD engineering excellence, provide effortless performance in any terrain.

The all-new 3.0-litre direct-injection turbo-diesel engine - the second to be introduced to Europe with Nissan’s M-Fire combustion technology - offers substantial increases in torque and power, as well as efficiency. Linked to either a manual or new automatic transmission, this innovative engine is set to strengthen the Patrol’s reputation as a highly capable towing vehicle and serious off-roader.

Gaining new safety and security equipment, the Patrol GR’s well-appointed interior has been upgraded and is now matched perfectly to the imposing exterior design.

The introduction of a new, more powerful Nissan Patrol GR will build on Nissan’s record 1999 4x4 sales, which reached over 53,000 in Europe.
