In a defining moment for performance enthusiasts across the Middle East, Nissan has unveiled the all-new Patrol NISMO — the most powerful iteration of its iconic SUV to date.

With a bold fusion of aggressive design, motorsport pedigree, and region-exclusive performance enhancements, the Patrol NISMO exemplifies Nissan’s renewed commitment to delivering vehicles engineered specifically for Middle Eastern driving sensibilities.

Developed with Regional Insights

Unveiled in the Middle East and tailored explicitly to its customers, the all-new Patrol NISMO is a product of Nissan’s Re:Nissan strategy.

Drawing from decades of motorsport excellence, the NISMO badge — short for Nissan Motorsports — symbolizes the pinnacle of Nissan’s engineering and performance capabilities.

A specialized team of high-performance engineers worked exclusively to unleash this latest Patrol’s full potential, with development centered around customer feedback from the region.

Power Unleashed: A New Benchmark

At its heart lies the VR35DDTT twin-turbocharged V6 engine, delivering a best-in-class 495 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque in Sport Mode — the highest-ever output for this powerplant globally.

Precision-assembled at Nissan’s renowned Iwaki Plant in Japan, the engine features a NISMO-red engine cover and commemorative metal plate, symbolizing exceptional craftsmanship.

This potent unit is mated to a recalibrated 9-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters, delivering an unfiltered driving experience that feels just as thrilling on city roads as it does on mountain passes.

Motorsport-Derived Engineering

Performance goes beyond numbers. A newly designed front bumper channels air directly to the brakes, cutting disc temperatures by 6% during intense driving.

Rear air diffusers, layered splitters, and extended spoilers offer high-speed stability and downforce.

Paired with 22-inch forged aluminum alloy wheels — co-developed with racing stalwart RAYS — these components reduce unsprung weight by 23% and improve lateral stiffness and brake cooling.

NISMO-tuned E-Dampers and recalibrated suspension optimize responsiveness and ride comfort in real-time, while electronic power steering ensures city maneuverability without sacrificing highway composure.

The thrilling drive is further amplified by the NISMO-tuned exhaust system and Active Sound Enhancement (ASE), which together deliver an intoxicating aural experience.

Distinctive Design Language

The new Patrol NISMO commands presence with a reimagined V-Motion grille featuring vertical and horizontal strokes and 3D honeycomb mesh for improved airflow.

Aerodynamic air curtains and side splitters optimize downforce, and NISMO-red accents add visual drama. The rear fascia continues this high-performance aesthetic with layered diffusers and a Formula E-inspired rear fog lamp.

Customers can select from five exterior colours — White Pearl, Gray Metallic, Blue Metallic, Black Pearl, and NISMO-exclusive Stealth Gray — available in monotone or dual-tone with a contrasting black roof, creating six configurations in total.

Cockpit Crafted for Enthusiasts

Inside, the Patrol NISMO maintains the high-performance theme with a black-and-red cabin. Contrast stitching, suede and leather materials, carbon-fiber-like trims, and metallic accents offer a rich, tactile experience.

Signature NISMO logos on headrests, red seat belts, a red start/stop button, and aluminum pedals round off the racing-inspired interior. The seats offer strong lateral support, finished in a honeycomb quilt pattern to mirror the exterior grille.

Looking Ahead

With the launch of the all-new Patrol NISMO, Nissan’s regional SUV lineup now includes the flagship Patrol, the adventure-focused Patrol PRO-4X, and the performance-oriented Patrol NISMO.

Available across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the wider Middle East from July 2025, the Patrol NISMO stands as an unrivalled blend of engineering excellence, regional focus, and motorsport DNA — truly an icon reborn.
