Latest News World Premiere: The All-New Nissan Patrol NISMO roars into the Middle East

Born from decades of motorsport excellence, NISMO (short for Nissan Motorsports) represents the pinnacle of Nissan performance, engineering, and innovation. Every NISMO model is designed to offer an adrenaline-packed driving experience, and the all-new Nissan Patrol NISMO blends the robustness of an SUV with the precision of track-inspired engineering.

A dedicated team of specialized engineers, handpicked for their expertise in high-performance development, worked exclusively on the all-new Patrol NISMO to unleash the most potent Patrol ever, uniquely tailored to Middle Eastern customers.

With a specially tuned twin-turbo V6 delivering region-exclusive performance, optimized aerodynamics, and bold new styling cues, the all-new Patrol NISMO introduces substantial advancements in both performance and design. A retuned suspension, steering system, and a more pronounced exhaust note heighten the driving experience, while signature NISMO details reinforce its unmistakable motorsport pedigree.

Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President & President – Middle East, KSA, CIS – Nissan & INFINITI, said: "Since the introduction of the first Patrol NISMO in 2015, our customers have continually valued its mix of performance, exclusivity, and craftsmanship. This all-new model was developed from the ground up utilizing customer insights from across the Middle East. It has been rigorously tested in the region’s most challenging environments, underlining the significance of this market to Nissan. With its race-inspired styling and powerful 495 hp engine, the all-new Patrol NISMO offers the thrilling sensation of a sports car while maintaining the commanding presence of an SUV, an ultimate icon with unmatched edge and authenticity."

Feel Powerful

Exclusive to the Middle East, the all-new Nissan Patrol NISMO boasts 495 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque in Sport Mode — the highest output for the VR35DDTT engine anywhere globally. This tuning is a direct result of extensive customer feedback, reinforcing Nissan’s commitment to regional performance expectations.

The VR35DDTT twin-turbo V6 engine, assembled at Nissan’s Iwaki Plant in Japan, features a distinctive NISMO-red engine cover and commemorative plate. Each unit undergoes a manual tuning process, including precise valve clearance adjustments. Paired with a recalibrated 9-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters, the Patrol NISMO delivers an unfiltered connection to the road.

Performance enhancements include a new bumper design that channels cool air to the brakes, reducing disc temperatures by 6%, and layered rear diffusers that optimize aerodynamics for improved stability and handling.

Feel Iconic

The front features a dramatic V-Motion grille with optimized airflow, a sculpted front spoiler acting as an air splitter, and grille-side air curtains that improve downforce and handling. At the rear, an extended spoiler, side air splitters, and layered diffusers enhance grip and stability.

Distinctive NISMO red accents highlight the “Layered Double Wing” design, complemented by a Formula E-inspired rear fog lamp. Five exterior colors are available — White Pearl, Gray Metallic, Blue Metallic, Black Pearl, and exclusive Stealth Gray — with monotone and dual-tone options.

The cabin embodies “Functional Beauty” with a black-and-red color scheme, contrast stitching, metallic accents, leather and suede-touch materials, honeycomb-quilted seats, NISMO logos, red seat belts, carbon fiber-style finishes, and aluminum pedals.

Feel Elevated

The recalibrated suspension system with NISMO-tuned E-Dampers automatically adjusts damping in real-time, while electronic power steering offers both city maneuverability and highway confidence. The NISMO-tuned exhaust system delivers a deep, resonant note, enhanced by Active Sound Enhancement inside the cabin.

22-inch forged aluminum alloy wheels, co-developed with RAYS, reduce weight by 23% compared to the base model, improving lateral stiffness and brake cooling. Paired with high-performance tires, these wheels unlock the Patrol NISMO’s full cornering potential.

Availability

The all-new Nissan Patrol NISMO joins the Patrol lineup alongside the Patrol and Patrol PRO-4X, available across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the wider Middle East from July 2025.
