Nissan took the wraps off the highly anticipated, seventh generation Patrol SUV. The flagship SUV was unveiled at an event in Abu Dhabi that saw royals, VIPs, global Nissan executives, dealers, partners, media, customers and employees in attendance.
All-new look
The all-new Patrol introduces several groundbreaking advancements chief of which is its striking new design. It is powered by a V6 twin-turbo engine, connected to a nine-speed automatic transmission, and kept aloft by adaptive air suspension for enhanced all-terrain capability. It also comes equipped with intuitive technologies including NissanConnect 2.0 powered by Google built-in, ProPILOT Assist, and a Klipsch Premium Audio System. The flagship SUV promises to deliver a superior driving experience, complemented by exceptional comfort.
Built for adventure
The all-new Patrol was designed to have unmissable road presence. Its exterior styling enhances its distinctive silhouette to reflect its rugged capability. Its new look features Nissan’s signature V-motion grille, now wider and more integrated into the body. It is flanked by enhanced Double C-shaped headlights featuring Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) technology. Complementing this is the Patrol’s rear façade, which echoes the front grille with a full-width light bar. Towards the side, its formidable stance is accentuated by available 22-inch alloy wheels.
Power with precision
Powering the Patrol is a new 3.5-liter V6 twin turbo engine has been introduced, delivering 425-HP and 700-Nm 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. 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 nine-speed automatic transmission further elevating the driving experience.
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 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 from six drive modes: standard, sand, rock, mud/rut, eco and sport. The 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.
Premium comfort
Its meticulously crafted interior harmonizes premium comfort with cutting-edge technology. The refreshed interior features exquisitely quilted leather seats, with detailing inspired by the traditional Japanese wood craft, Kumiko. On selected trims the seats feature massage functionality and eight-way adjustment. Its cabin comes with a standard panoramic sunroof that invites natural light when desired.
An advanced infotainment system stretches across the dashboard to create a 28.6-inch wide display. The driver gets a 14.3-inch display that provide a comprehensive view of navigation and instruments. A second 14.3-inch display provides 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.
Entertainment is provided by a 12-speaker Klipsch Premium Audio system. DynamicAudioReveal technology ensures consistent clarity and depth by adjusting audio equalization based on environmental conditions, while DJX 3D Surround envelops occupants in a rich, concert-like sound experience.
Complementing the visual experience is a 64-color ambient lighting system with customizable live backgrounds to match any mood, enhancing the cabin's ambiance.
For the in-car climate control, there’s Biometric Cooling technology. When activated, a built-in infrared sensor detects the body temperature of front passenger seat and second row occupants, and automatically adjusts air flow settings to provide an intuitive cooling experience.
The cabin comes with innovative EZ flex seats that facilitate easier access to the third row without removing a child seat. The third-row power fold and return function offers flexible storage solutions with a touch on the Monolith screen to adapt seamlessly to varying needs.
Intelligent safety
The Patrol introduces NissanConnect 2.0 with Google Built-In, an advanced technology suite that seamlessly integrates navigation, security, and entertainment into a unified platform. This is the first Nissan vehicle in the region to feature Google Built-In, which makes a near-seamless interaction between a customer's digital life and their vehicle.
Nissan’s ProPILOT technology supports drivers with a blend of adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance. The system leverages navigation data to adjust vehicle speed for curves and interchanges.
The Patrol transforms situational awareness with Panorama View, featuring ‘Ultra-Wide View’ and ‘Invisible Hood View’, with Invisible-to-Visible technology projecting real-time images of obstacles and navigation cues onto the infotainment display. The Ultra-Wide View expands the field of vision to 170 degrees, while the innovative Invisible Hood provides a clear view of the area directly beneath the vehicle for safer driving both off-road and in narrow spaces.
The Patrol is also equipped with a 3D Around View Monitor which offers a comprehensive 360-degree view of the vehicle’s surroundings, further enhancing driver awareness. Additional driver assistance features include an Intelligent Rear View Mirror and Rear Zoom View that enhance rear visibility, as well as Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking, which alert drivers to potential collisions and apply brakes when needed to mitigate impact. All-round safety is also assured with a comprehensive safety package featuring seven airbags and knee airbags.
Finally, the Patrol is available in 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.
With the all-new Patrol’s global launch in the UAE, the rest of the world can expect to see the vehicle coming to their region very soon. Some options may be different or unavailable in the vehicle offered locally.
