A Vehicle Designed for Adventure
The new Nissan Patrol features a luxurious design that enhances its road presence and highlights an "unbreakable" identity, reflecting its outstanding capabilities. The exterior design accentuates its distinctive silhouette with a new, wider V-motion grille integrated into the body and enhanced C-shaped headlights with ADB technology to ensure optimal visibility.
The 22-inch aluminum wheels add stability and provide high ground clearance for superior off-road performance. The new Patrol is available in seven striking exterior colors, including four two-tone options, allowing drivers to personalize the vehicle to suit their style.
The Patrol is also equipped with Puddle Lamps that automatically illuminate when the driver approaches the vehicle. These lamps project the Patrol's silhouette along with the text "Since 1951," symbolizing the SUV's production history. This feature embodies the Japanese principle of hospitality, ensuring that every interaction with the Patrol is special and memorable.
Power, Performance, and Precision
The seventh-generation Nissan Patrol is the most powerful in the vehicle's history, offering an impressive blend of responsiveness, comfort, and efficiency. It features a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo engine that produces 425 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, representing a 7% increase in power and a 25% increase in torque compared to the previous V8 engine, along with improved fuel efficiency.
Power is transferred to the wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission, enhancing the driving experience whether on city streets or rugged terrains. The dynamic suspension utilizes e-damper technology, which automatically adjusts the damper settings according to driving conditions, providing a more comfortable and stable ride.
The new Nissan Patrol comes with an adaptive air suspension system that allows for easy adjustment of the vehicle's height, facilitating effortless off-road driving, easy entry and exit, and convenient loading and unloading of cargo.
Drivers can choose from six distinct driving modes, including standard, sand, rock, mud, eco, and sport. A new 4WD transfer mode has also been introduced, allowing drivers to seamlessly switch between these modes to tackle off-road challenges.
Unmatched Comfort and Luxurious Interior Design
The interior of the new Nissan Patrol has been meticulously designed to offer supreme comfort and advanced technology. The cabin features quilted leather seats with details inspired by traditional Japanese "Kumiko" craftsmanship. Some trims come with seats that offer massage functionality and eight-way adjustment to achieve the perfect balance between support and comfort.
The new Nissan Patrol is equipped with a sophisticated infotainment system featuring a large 28.6-inch display, as well as dual 12.8-inch rear screens for entertainment on the go.
Intelligent Safety and Next-Generation Connectivity
The new Nissan Patrol includes NissanConnect 2.0 powered by Google, which integrates navigation, security, and entertainment into a single platform. It also features ProPILOT technology to assist drivers with adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance.
The new Nissan Patrol will be available through Nissan's partner network across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the Middle East starting in late October 2024.
