Platform
With the Y62 concept for the sixth generation, Nissan introduced the F-Alpha platform. This architecture is specific in many ways. It still keeps Patrol SUV as one of the modern crossovers with stylish appearance and drive. It is used for SUVs and trucks. This is another reason to suspect in Defender as a pickup model. Independent suspension is a highlight of this platform. However, the F-Alpha can offer a solid axle arrangement of suspension, and that makes it so special. Furthermore, the platform supports various sizes of engines, as well as the VVT setup.
