Nissan Patrol

Nissan is back with a banger—or is it? Nissan introduced the 2025 Nissan Patrol on 3 September 2024 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre. But will it live up to its popularity in the Middle East? Let’s find out as we explore the 2025 Nissan Patrol. Before that, let’s shed some light on Nissan’s history.

Nissan

Nissan, a globally renowned automobile manufacturer headquartered in Yokohama, Japan, was established in 1933. The brand is celebrated for innovation and cutting-edge design. Nissan’s diverse lineup includes sedans, SUVs, trucks, and electric vehicles, with the Nissan Leaf pioneering the EV market. 

Known for models like the Nissan Patrol, Altima, and GT-R, the company blends performance with technology. Nissan’s Intelligent Mobility initiative showcases advancements in autonomous driving and connectivity. 

Operating in over 160 countries, Nissan delivers vehicles tailored to varied markets. Its emphasis on sustainability and customer satisfaction makes it a leader in the automotive industry worldwide.

  2. Nissan Patrol SE T2 priced at AED 258,900
  3. Nissan Patrol SE Titanium priced at AED 289,900

  4. Nissan Patrol LE Titanium+ priced at AED 349,900
  5. Nissan Patrol SE Platinum City priced at AED 379,900

Interior Design

Interior-wise, the Nissan Patrol has improved quite a lot. You get premium leather heated and ventilated seats with 8-way adjustment, massage functions, and lumbar support. This kind of feature is usually expected from Infiniti and Lexus, but here we are.

It also comes with powered third-row seats, a leather steering wheel, and a twin 14.3” Monolith display. Like its counterpart, the 2025 Infiniti QX80, it gets a 12-speaker Premium Klipsch audio system. In case you’re wondering, it has a panoramic sunroof. With its premium air suspension and Intelligent Individual AC control, you won’t have to compromise your comfort at all.

Other notable features include an electronically adjustable steering wheel, an air filter, an ionizer, and a cooling box. And how can we forget the ambient lighting? Sure, the interior is quite impressive. Also, there is a wireless charger so you can charge your phone on the go. 

Let’s dive into its exterior and performance. 

Sophisticated Appearance

Unlike buying a Lexus, here you can choose whether you want city bumpers or off-roading bumpers for your convenience. At the front, we have a sophisticated front grille accompanied by Signature double c-shape headlights and DRLs. 

The premium air suspension mentioned above is mounted on 22-inch alloy wheels, which add to Nissan Patrol’s elegance and road presence. You also get a rear power liftgate and roof rails to make sure it looks like a proper go-anywhere vehicle. A Jeep can also take you anywhere, but in that case, comfort and reliability won’t be in the equation.
