Nissan Safari Cars
The Nissan Safari, also known as the Nissan Patrol, is a well-known and respected SUV that has been around for over 60 years. It's been designed to tackle even the most challenging of terrains and driving conditions while offering exceptional comfort and performance.
One of the main advantages of the Nissan Safari is its impressive off-road capabilities. Its high ground clearance, four-wheel drive system with limited-slip differential, and robust suspension make it ideal for handling New Zealand's varied landscapes, from rocky beaches to steep hills and mountains. It can tow up to 3.5 tonnes making it perfect for towing boats, horse trailers or caravans on holiday weekends.
The Safari comes in two different engine options; the standard 4.8L petrol engine which is great for drivers who love to hear an engine roar or tow big loads or heavy trailers and a smaller but equally capable 3.0L diesel engine which is efficient enough for daily commuting or road trips with low running cost per KM. The larger petrol engine delivers impressive power output that enables it to tow big loads without compromising performance while its diesel counterpart has higher torque which offers better fuel efficiency across New Zealand's diverse landscape.
The spacious interior of the Safari comfortably accommodates up to seven passengers plus their luggage. There's ample headroom and legroom thanks to its generous proportions, so tall adults won't feel cramped during long journeys across rural NZ terrain.
Nissan has taken safety seriously in the design of this model, incorporating advanced safety features such as hill-start assist control, hill-descent control as well as stability control to give drivers greater confidence on tricky surfaces. The high driving position provides excellent visibility allowing for a clear view of what lies ahead reducing any blind spots associated with smaller cars.
In summary, the Nissan Safari/Patrol makes a great option for buyers looking for a reliable, comfortable and safe SUV suitable for family camping trips all around NZ providing exceptional off-road performance while still maintaining day-to-day drivability requirements from town runabouts, business use or city commuting demands.
