Safety Rundown

ANCAP's published record does not give the Nissan Patrol a rating. With no pair of ratings to compare, the active-safety features in the spec table above are the fairer comparison.

Feature Showdown

The Nissan Patrol features a 12.3-inch touchscreen paired with a 7-inch digital dash, while the Toyota C-HR gets a 12.3-inch display and 7-inch instruments. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across both.

The Nissan Patrol stands out with wireless charging, panoramic roof, heated front seats, ventilated seats, power tailgate and Bose audio — features our data doesn't list for the Toyota C-HR. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.

Interior trim differs: the Nissan Patrol gets leather upholstery while the Toyota C-HR offers cloth. Climate control is 3-zone in the Nissan Patrol and 2-zone in the Toyota C-HR.

Drivetrain

The Nissan Patrol uses a Petrol producing 298kW and 560Nm of torque, sent through a automatic to a 4WD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 6.6 seconds.

The Toyota C-HR responds with a Petrol making 103kW and 142Nm, paired to a automatic driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 10.2 seconds.

The Nissan Patrol has the clear power advantage at 298kW vs 103kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Nissan Patrol is 3.6s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.

Space & Comfort

The Nissan Patrol measures 5,175mm long on a 3,075mm wheelbase, 813mm longer than the Toyota C-HR at 4,362mm (2,640mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Nissan Patrol generally means more rear legroom.

Boot space is 620L in the Nissan Patrol and 388L in the Toyota C-HR, giving the Nissan Patrol a 232L advantage. The Nissan Patrol seats 7 vs 5.

For towing, the Nissan Patrol leads with a 3,500kg braked capacity vs 725kg. That 2,775kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.

Neither U-turns in one sweep on a 7 m local street (both need a three-point turn); the Toyota C-HR's turning circle is 2.1 m tighter, 10.4 m against 12.5 m kerb to kerb. The street estimate is indicative, worked from the published turning circles.

At 15,000 km a year, fuel for the Nissan Patrol costs about $4,104 a year (14.4 L/100km) and fuel for the Toyota C-HR about $1,140 a year (4 L/100km), at $1.90 a litre and 32c a kWh. That is $2,964 a year less for the Toyota C-HR.
