As the sands shift in the Middle East’s SUV market, the 2025 Nissan Patrol enters a new era—updated engine choices, cutting-edge technology, lush interiors, and a bolder look, but always with an unwavering commitment to off-road performance and family adventure. Saudi, Emirati, and Gulf buyers expect a lot from their “patron saint of the dunes.” Does the latest Patrol set a new benchmark, or just polish a legend? This in-depth feature answers that with expert analysis and storytelling flair.

Striking New Design and Tech-Infused Cabin

  • Redesigned exterior: larger grille, signature C-shaped DRLs, aggressive body lines, new 20” or 22” alloy wheels, and a rear profile that’s as imposing as its heritage.​

  • Advanced LED headlights, adaptive air suspension, and “Invisible Hood View” camera tech give both city-class and desert-ready confidence.

  • Luxurious interior with dual 14.3” digital displays, NissanConnect 2.0 (Google Built-in), full wireless Apple CarPlay / Android Auto, ventilated premium leather seats, and triple-zone climate for all passengers.

Power, Efficiency, and Engineering Upgrades

  • All-new 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6: 496 hp, 700 Nm in Sport mode, outperforming both the old V8 and current Land Cruiser rivals.​

  • V8 Legacy: 5.6L naturally aspirated—400 hp, 560 Nm—still offered in select trims for traditionalists craving that signature roar and reliability.​

  • 9-speed automatic transmission for both engines, ensuring smoother power delivery, improved highway efficiency, and refined off-road crawling.

  • Reinforced chassis, upgraded cooling, and sand-optimized drive modes for relentless GCC heat and terrain.

Advanced Safety and Smart Utility

  • ProPILOT tech: adaptive cruise, lane tracing, 360° “Ultra-Wide” camera, emergency braking, and driver attention monitoring.​

  • Airbag suite, rear cross-traffic alert, “Invisible Hood” mode, and advanced trailer assist for easier desert recreation.

  • Active suspension adapts height/firmness for dunes, city streets, or deep wadis at the push of a button.
