In a dazzling symphony of tradition and innovation, Nissan has officially launched the all-new Nissan Patrol, writing an exciting new chapter for this legendary nameplate. The seventh-generation Patrol made its much-anticipated global debut at a glamorous event in Abu Dhabi, headlined by none other than Makoto Uchida, president and CEO of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. The atmosphere was electric, with royals, VIPs, global industry players, and dedicated fans coming together to celebrate the SUV that has become synonymous with adventure and excellence in the Middle East.
A Powerful New Chapter
As the lights dimmed and the crowd’s excitement amplified, Uchida took the stage, sharing, “The all-new Patrol is a prime example of the exciting and empowering models we are delivering under our global business plan, The Arc.” He emphasized that this vibrant new generation brings together the thrill of performance, cutting-edge technology, and an imposing presence, redefining the SUV’s potential. With over 70 years of rich history, the Patrol truly encapsulates Nissan’s mission of “Driving innovation to enrich people’s lives.”
Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President for the Middle East, echoed Uchida’s sentiments, stating, “The Nissan Patrol is more than just a vehicle in the Middle East; it is a symbol of adventure, pride, and resilience.” The event reflected a legacy built on shared experiences and unforgettable journeys, reminding everyone present of the deep connections that have been made across the diverse terrains of the region.
A Design That Commands Attention
Get ready to turn heads! The All-New Nissan Patrol boasts an awe-inspiring design that perfectly balances its heritage with a futuristic look. It’s not just an SUV; it’s a work of art. The bold and sculpted body is intentionally designed to present an ‘unbreakable’ aura that showcases its rugged capabilities and adventurous spirit. With a wider V-motion grille, enhanced Double C-shaped headlights featuring Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) technology, and a rear façade that introduces a full-width light bar, this SUV is unmistakably a Patrol. Finish it off with stunning 22-inch alloy wheels, and you have a vehicle that commands attention whether on the highway or off the beaten path.
Striking Colors and Illumination
Express yourself with one of seven vibrant exterior colors, including four dazzling two-tone options! For those who love the details, the Patrol features a unique Puddle Lamp that lights up with a special throwback motif, showcasing the iconic Patrol silhouette in the desert alongside the motto “Since 1951.” This nod to the Japanese principle of omotenashi, or thoughtful hospitality, ensures that every interaction feels special.
Alfonso Albaisa, Senior VP of global design, remarked, “The all-new Nissan Patrol projects strength, poise, and confidence.” This vehicle embodies six generations of unmatched all-wheel drive capability, making it the ideal companion for any off-road adventure.
Power Meets Performance
Hold onto your hats – the seventh-generation Nissan Patrol is the mightiest yet. Under the hood, it houses a new 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo engine firing off an exhilarating 425 horsepower and 700Nm of torque. Not only does this mean a 7% increase in power from the outgoing V8, but it also boasts a jaw-dropping 24% boost in fuel efficiency. For those who prefer a more classic feel, there’s also a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine option delivering 316HP and 386Nm of torque.
Equipped with a new 9-speed automatic transmission and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, the Patrol ensures your ride is nothing short of thrilling. Plus, the introduction of an adaptive air suspension system means you can adjust the ride height to conquer any terrain, all while maintaining smooth on-road cruising.
Drive Modes for Every Adventure
Take your pick with six distinct drive modes – standard, sand, rock, mud, eco, and sport – letting you tailor the driving experience to your exact needs. And if you’re wondering how to manage those tricky terrains, fear not! The All-New Patrol introduces a 4WD transfer mode interlock system, giving you the confidence to tackle anything the road throws your way.
Comfort Like Never Before
Step inside, and you’ll find that the All-New Nissan Patrol isn’t just about strength; it’s also a haven of luxury and comfort. The premium interior features exquisitely quilted leather seats inspired by the Japanese wood craft, Kumiko, complete with massage functionality and eight-way adjustments. You’ll find yourself settling into a space that feels less like a vehicle and more like a first-class lounge.
State-of-the-Art Technology
The interior is anchored by a stunning 28.6-inch horizontal Monolith display, showcasing twin 14.3-inch screens that provide insights into navigation, entertainment, and vehicle status. In the back, dual 12.8-inch screens keep passengers entertained with streaming content and games. And yes, all this tech adapts seamlessly into the luxurious cabin.
Speaking of luxury, the Klipsch Premium Audio system delivers an immersive sound experience that feels like you’re front row at a concert. With innovative features like Biometric Cooling, which adapts to the temperature of each passenger, every journey becomes more enjoyable.
Advanced Safety and Connectivity
With NissanConnect 2.0, the All-New Patrol is equipped with next-gen technology that integrates navigation, security, and entertainment seamlessly. Boasting Google built-in, drivers can access their favorite locations, use voice commands for hands-free operation, and enjoy real-time traffic updates.
The Patrol raises the bar in safety with stunning features like Panorama View that provides a 170-degree Ultra-Wide View and an Invisible Hood View that projects real-time images on the center display. Add in the industry-first knee airbags, a comprehensive airbag package, and other cutting-edge safety systems, and you have a family SUV that doesn’t compromise on safety.
