6 Ways the All-New Nissan Patrol NISMO Feels Right at Home in the UAE

Driving in the UAE is an experience of its own. A short detour off Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road, and you’ll find yourself on the edge of the open desert. Few vehicles have earned as much trust here as the Patrol. Over generations, it has gained a reputation for reliability and presence across the Emirates. Now, the new Patrol NISMO, introduced by Arabian Automobiles, takes that legacy further, setting a new benchmark with the distinct NISMO signature.

It is more than an SUV. It’s a powerhouse engineered for those who want to defy the ordinary. Every element—engine response, aerodynamic design, and handling—has been calibrated for the demands of UAE roads and tested in real-world conditions. The Patrol NISMO answers to those who push boundaries.

Here’s what sets the new Patrol NISMO apart.

• Unmatched power

The Patrol NISMO’s 3.5L twin-turbo V6 was developed specifically for this market, delivering 495 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque in Sport Mode. It’s the most powerful Patrol yet, made for drivers who expect serious performance every time they get behind the wheel.

• Motorsport DNA, inside and out

NISMO is Nissan’s motorsport heart, built on decades of racing and engineering expertise. The Patrol NISMO reflects that heritage, combining the strength of an SUV with the sharp response and thrill you’d expect from a sports car. Behind the scenes, a select group of engineers, each with a background in high-powered vehicles, focused on every detail, from how it handles to how it sounds.

• Handcrafted perfection

Each Patrol NISMO engine is assembled with precision at Nissan’s Iwaki Plant in Japan, where master technicians oversee each detail. That signature red engine cover and the metal plate under the hood reflect the level of skill and pride that goes into every car. Before leaving the factory, all units go through a careful manual tuning process to make sure they run at their best.

• Bold, aerodynamic design

The Patrol NISMO commands attention from the start. Its iconic V-Motion grille has been reimagined with a bold, three-dimensional honeycomb mesh, highlighted by precise vertical and horizontal strokes that exude power and purpose in motion. Red accents and extended spoilers amplify its presence, while functional features, such as air splitters and a rear diffuser, generate genuine downforce for greater stability at higher speeds.

• A cockpit built for the drive

Step inside and you’re immediately surrounded by the unmistakable spirit of racing. The cabin features a black-and-red palette inspired by the track. Seats with honeycomb stitching, carbon-fiber touches, and a red start button all place the driver at the centre of the action. Even the red seat belts nod to its motorsport pedigree. Leather, suede, and metallic finishes round out the interior, creating a space that is as comfortable as it is striking.

• Exclusive colors, distinctive design

You get a choice of five standout colors: White Pearl, Gray Metallic, Blue Metallic, Black Pearl, and a NISMO-exclusive Stealth Gray. There’s also the option for a contrasting black roof if you want an added layer of style. The 22-inch forged RAYS wheels aren’t just for show. They’re lighter than standard and designed to boost both style and driving dynamics.

The all-new Patrol NISMO starts at AED 449,900. Visit your nearest Nissan of Arabian Automobiles showroom in Dubai, Sharjah, or the Northern Emirates to ‘Feel NISMO.’
