Next Nissan Patrol previewed via Infiniti QX Monograph (PHOTO & VIDEO)

Posh new SUV concept looks more like a case of evolution rather than revolution.

The world has just got its first official - but indirect - preview of the next-generation Y63 Nissan Patrol via the freshly revealed Infiniti QX Monograph concept, and looks like the big new off-road SUV has hit the gym.

Previewing the next Infiniti QX80 - the Nissan Patrol and Armada’s upmarket sister model - the QX Monograph made its world debut overnight during Monterey Car Week and it’s awash with svelte curves and soft edges contrasted by sharp lighting features.

However, the Monograph concept’s proportions will be familiar to existing QX80 and Patrol owners, making it more a case of evolution than revolution compared to the aging current model - albeit with an extra injection of modernity and opulence.

Before the new Patrol is revealed next year and released Down Under in 2025, Nissan Australia will release a fitting swansong for the Y62 in the shape of the first homegrown Patrol Warrior.
