Nissan has launched the all-new Nissan Patrol, marking a new chapter for the iconic nameplate. The seventh-generation model was unveiled by Makoto Uchida, president and CEO of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., at an exclusive event in Abu Dhabi that saw royals, VIPs, global Nissan executives, dealers, partners, media, customers and employees in attendance.
The all-new Patrol introduces several groundbreaking advancements – including a striking new design, a powerful V6 twin-turbo engine, a 9-speed automatic transmission and adaptive air suspension for enhanced all-terrain capability. Equipped with intuitive technologies including NissanConnect 2.0 powered by Google built-in, ProPILOT Assist, and Klipsch Premium Audio System, it delivers a superior driving experience, complemented by exceptional comfort.
On the exterior, Nissan’s signature V-motion grille takes center stage, now wider and more integrated into the body, and flanked by enhanced Double C-shaped headlights featuring Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) technology to ensure optimal visibility. Complementing this is the Patrol’s rear façade, which echoes the front grille with a full-width light bar.
The Patrol’s formidable stance is accentuated by available 22-inch alloy wheels, which not only enhance its road presence, but also provide high ground clearance for superior off-road performance.
The All-New Nissan Patrol is available in seven striking exterior colors, each developed to enhance its dynamic appearance. The addition of four vibrant two-tone options to the exterior color palette supports increased personalization, enabling drivers to express their unique style.
Nissan’s commitment to thoughtful design is evident with the introduction of a Puddle Lamp, which auto-activates individual lighting elements as the occupants approach the vehicle with the key fob or unlock the doors.
The lamp illuminates a motif featuring the iconic Nissan Patrol silhouette and the text “Since 1951” signifying the SUV’s production history. This feature is a nod to the Japanese principle of omotenashi, or thoughtful hospitality, ensuring that every interaction with the Patrol feels special and welcoming.
The seventh-generation Nissan Patrol is Nissan’s most powerful Patrol to date – setting new standards in performance with an exhilarating blend of response, refinement and efficiency.
A new 3.5-liter V6 twin turbo engine has been introduced, delivering an impressive 425HP and 700Nm of torque. This marks a momentous shift from the Patrol’s outgoing V8 engine – achieving a 7% increase in power and a 25% boost in torque, along with enhanced fuel efficiency.
The new V6 twin turbo engine features a high heat-resistant turbocharger and scavenge oil pump ensuring consistent lubrication on slopes and inclines, delivering reliable performance across all terrains. Available also is a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine option, producing 316HP and 386Nm of torque.
Power is transferred to the road via a 9-speed automatic transmission further elevating the driving experience, whether navigating city streets or conquering rugged terrains.
Dynamic suspension leverages e-damper technology that automatically adjusts the damper settings according to the driving conditions, for a more controlled and comfortable on-board experience.
The All-New Patrol features adaptive air suspension system available as standard – allowing for adjustable ride height, effortless on-road cruising and off-road performance. In addition to improved aerodynamic efficiency, it also facilitates easy passenger entry and exit, as well as convenient loading and unloading of gear.
Drivers can select six distinct drive modes– standard, sand, rock, mud/rut, eco and sport. The All-New Patrol also introduces a 4WD transfer mode interlock system, a first for Nissan, allowing drivers to seamlessly switch between modes and tackle challenging landscapes with ease.
As for the interior, the new Patrol features exquisitely quilted leather seats that offer a new level of indulgence, with detailing inspired by the traditional Japanese wood craft, Kumiko. On selected trims the seats feature massage functionality and eight-way adjustment, striking a perfect balance of cushioning and ergonomic support to deliver exceptional comfort. There is also a standard panoramic sunroof.
Also part of the package is an advanced infotainment system, anchored by a striking 28.6-inch horizontal Monolith display, features twin 14.3-inch displays that provide a comprehensive view of navigation, entertainment, and vehicle information. Rear-seat passengers are also catered for with optional dual 12.8-inch screens, supporting entertainment on the go, via Miracast, HDMI or USB inputs.
Complementing the visual experience is a 64-color ambient lighting system with customizable live backgrounds to match any mood, enhancing the cabin’s ambiance.
