All-new Nissan Patrol makes global debut in Abu Dhabi

Nissan have launched the all-new Patrol, with the seventh-generation model marking a new chapter for the iconic nameplate. The all-new Patrol introduces several groundbreaking advancements, including a striking new design, a powerful V6 twin turbo engine, a nine-speed automatic transmission and adaptive air suspension for enhanced all-terrain capability. 

The interior is equipped with intuitive technologies including NissanConnect 2.0 powered by Google built-in, ProPilot Assist and a Klipsch Premium Audio System, to deliver a superior driving experience, complemented by exceptional comfort.

All-new premium design

The new Nissan Patrol embodies a premium design aesthetic that elevates its unmissable road presence while delivering a captivating visual impact that bridges the brands heritage with a forward-thinking vision. Nissan’s signature V-motion grille takes centre stage and is now wider and better integrated. This is flanked by enhanced double C-shaped headlights featuring adaptive driving beam technology. The rear echoes the design theme with a full-width light bar.

The Patrols formidable stance is accentuated by 22-inch wheels, which enhance the vehicles on road presence but also ensure enhanced ground clearance for off-road driving.

Power and performance

The new Patrol is the most powerful iteration to date as it sets new standards while blending response, refinement and efficiency.

A new 3.5-litre V6 twin turbocharged engine does duty under the bonnet and delivers 316kW and 386Nm. Power is transferred to the road via a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Dynamic suspension leverages e-damper technology which automatically adjusts damper settings according to driving conditions, resulting in a more controlled and comfortable driving experience. The Patrol also features adaptive air suspension as standard, which facilitates adjustable ride height, resulting in effortless on-road cruising and off-road performance.

Drivers are able to select from three different driving modes including standard, sand, rock, mud/rut, eco and sport. The all-new Patrol also introduces a 4WD transfer mode interlock system, which allows drivers to seamlessly switch between modes.

Expertly crafted interior

The new Nissan Patrol elevates the driving experience with a meticulously crafted interior that blends premium comfort with cutting-edge technology.

Exquisitely quilted leather seats offer a new level of indulgence, with detailing inspired by the traditional Japanese wood craft, Kumiko.

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. The Patrol introduces an exceptional audio experience with its 12-speaker Klipsch audio system.

Complementing this sensory sophistication, the all-new Patrol offers available biometric cooling technology, which when activated utilises a built-in infrared sensor that detects the body temperature of front and second row occupants and automatically adjusts air flow settings to provide an intuitive cooling experience.

Interior roominess is class-leading, particularly in the second and third rows. Innovative EZ flex seats facilitate easier access to the third row without removing a child seat, while the third-row power fold and return function offers flexible storage solutions that can be controlled via the Monolith screen.

The new Nissan Patrol introduces NissanConnect 2.0 with Google Built-In, an advanced technology suite that seamlessly integrates navigation, security and entertainment into a unified platform.

Intelligent safety

Nissan’s ProPilot technology makes its debut in the new Nissan Patrol, supporting drivers with a blend of adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance. 

The Patrol transforms situational awareness with Panorama View, featuring Ultra-Wide View and Invisible Hood View, with Invisible-to Visible technology which projects 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 in tight spaces.

The new Nissan Patrol is also equipped with a 3D Around View Monitor which offers a comprehensive 360-degree view of the vehicle’s surroundings. Additional driver assistance features include an Intelligent Rear View Mirror and Rear Zoom View that enhances rear visibility as well as Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking. All round safety is assured with a comprehensive safety package featuring seven airbags which includes knee airbags.
