Nissan’s iconic Patrol SUV has entered its seventh generation, showcasing an evolved design and cutting-edge features that highlight its versatility and power. The highly anticipated model was unveiled in Saudi Arabia, offering an impressive blend of luxury and performance tailored for diverse terrains. With a rich history since its inception in 1951, the Patrol continues to stand as a symbol of durability and innovation.
This latest iteration introduces a bold design, featuring Nissan’s signature V-motion grille integrated seamlessly with its body and flanked by advanced Double C-shaped headlights. Adaptive Driving Beam technology ensures optimal visibility in challenging environments. At the rear, a full-width light bar mirrors the striking front, while the 22-inch alloy wheels enhance both ground clearance and aesthetic appeal. Customers can choose from seven dynamic exterior colors, including four two-tone options, providing a personalized touch.
Performance upgrades include two new engine options: a 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo engine delivering 425 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, and a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine producing 316 horsepower. These powertrains replace the outgoing V8, offering a 7% increase in power and 25% improvement in torque, along with enhanced fuel efficiency. A newly integrated nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters ensures smooth gear transitions, catering to both city and off-road driving.
The Patrol’s off-road capabilities are further boosted by a standard adaptive air suspension system, adjustable ride heights, and six drive modes, including sand, rock, and mud. Additionally, a 4WD transfer mode interlock system offers intuitive handling across various terrains, supported by advanced chassis and electronic aids like Vehicle Dynamic Control and Traction Control.
