The Armada has been based on the Patrol since the Y62 model in 2016, but you have to look all the way back to 1969 to find the last time Nissan sold something with a Patrol badge in the US. That is until now, with Nissan’s US division launching the Armada Patrol Pro-4X, having decided to rename the existing off-road Pro-4X grade. Bringing the Patrol name back to its US showrooms for the first time in 58 years, the Armada Patrol Pro-4X will celebrate 75 years of the Patrol globally, with production to begin later this year ahead of arriving in 2027. ![Nissan Armada Patrol Pro-4X in the US](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/b3/a9b3e204-3117-4792-9a32-46184029df44/content/images/2026/11/2027-nissan-armada-patrol-pro-4x-us-1.jpg) 2027 Nissan Armada Patrol Pro-4X Ironically, that means the US-bound Armada Patrol may arrive in customer’s driveways before the new Y63 Patrol does so in Australia. [Last month](https://torquecafe.com/2027-nissan-patrol-one-step-closer-to-australia/), Nissan confirmed the first right-hand drive examples of the Patrol were being built in Japan ahead of its 2027 local arrival, slated between January and March. The Y63 Patrol has already been on sale in left-hand drive markets such as the Middle East and North America (as the Armada) for close to two years, but the first right-hand drive versions will be sold Down Under. On the US Armada Patrol Pro-4X, the name change has come alongside a change in equipment for the large SUV, which now gets Nismo rock sliders and a roof rack as standard. It can also be optioned with Nismo Axis wheels and BFGoodrich all-terrain tyres. ![2027 Nissan Armada Patrol Pro-4X](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/b3/a9b3e204-3117-4792-9a32-46184029df44/content/images/2026/11/2027-nissan-armada-patrol-pro-4x-us-2-1.jpg) 2027 Nissan Armada Patrol Pro-4X Despite the US potentially getting a Y63 Patrol before Australia, there is a piece of Australia in every Y63 sold globally, as the rear differential housing is made at the Nissan Casting Australia Plant (NCAP) in Dandenong South, just 40km south-east of the Melbourne CBD. Australia is also set to get the Pro-4X grade for the first time with the new Patrol, becoming one of six variants available locally (Ti, Ti+, Ti-L, Ti-L+, Pro-4X and Ti-L Reserve). With all Ti-badged Patrols focused on on-road luxury, it’ll be the place of the Pro-4X to act as the spiritual successor to the outgoing Y62 Patrol Warrior, featuring off-road focused upgrades such as adaptive air suspension, a unique front bumper, flared wheel-arches, 20-inch black wheels, and all-terrain tyres. When [*Torquecafe* recently asked](https://torquecafe.com/car-news-2027-nissan-patrol-pro4x-australia-warrior/) whether the Patrol Pro-4X negates the need for a new Patrol Warrior, Nissan Oceania corporate communications senior manager Angus Thompson said we’d “have to wait and see what’s going to come”, while managing director Steve Milette added “it’d be a logical choice”. [2027 Nissan Patrol right-hand drive production beginsThe first right-hand drive examples of the upcoming 2027 Nissan Patrol have started rolling off the production line, with Australia the first market to receive them.![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/b3/a9b3e204-3117-4792-9a32-46184029df44/content/images/icon/cropped-favicon-70b54dac-401a-45c9-bedc-829b9c1e5eaf.png)TorquecafeJordan Mulach![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/b3/a9b3e204-3117-4792-9a32-46184029df44/content/images/thumbnail/2027-nissan-patrol-y63-right-hand-drive-4-1-1ea6e164-d49b-483d-ae65-3d70e2c9f9f3.jpg)](https://torquecafe.com/2027-nissan-patrol-one-step-closer-to-australia/) “For now, it's great for us to launch with the range we’ve announced already and the price points which are very competitive relative to market players,” Thompson added. Milette added that 50 per cent of Nissan customers ordering the new Patrol have put their hand up for the Pro-4X, despite it being one of six variants and the second-dearest, with prices starting from $137,590 before on-roads. “When we had the \[order\] window open for registrations of interest, there were 2500 customers that gave us their info,” Milette said. “The orders that have been converted so far, half of them are Pro-4X. So it shows you the power of the Pro-4X model itself.”
