The Pinnacle of Nissan Performance
Born from Nissan’s motorsport legacy, NISMO (Nissan Motorsports) represents the brand’s highest standard of engineering and innovation. The Patrol NISMO combines rugged SUV capability with race-inspired precision, delivering an adrenaline-fueled driving experience.
A select team of NISMO engineers dedicated their expertise to refining every aspect of the Patrol NISMO, resulting in unprecedented power and agility. With a tuned twin-turbo V6, enhanced aerodynamics, and bold styling, this model pushes boundaries in both performance and design. A retuned suspension and sportier exhaust note heighten the thrill, while signature NISMO details highlight its racing DNA.
A Strategic Boost for Nissan in the Middle East
The launch aligns with Nissan’s Re:Nissan strategy, reinforcing its stronghold in the large SUV segment while elevating brand appeal in the Middle East. The Patrol NISMO strengthens Nissan’s flagship SUV lineup, offering unmatched power and prestige.
Thierry Sabbagh, Divisional Vice President & President – Middle East, KSA, CIS – Nissan & INFINITI, stated:
*"Since the debut of the first Patrol NISMO in 2015, our customers have cherished its blend of performance and exclusivity. This all-new model was developed from the ground up, incorporating regional feedback and rigorously tested in the Middle East’s toughest conditions. With its 495 HP engine and race-inspired design, the Patrol NISMO delivers sports-car excitement while maintaining the commanding presence of an SUV—truly an icon without compromise."*
Unmatched Power & Precision
Exclusive to the Middle East, the Patrol NISMO generates a staggering 495 HP and 700 Nm of torque in Sport Mode—the highest output ever for Nissan’s VR35DDTT engine. This region-specific tuning reflects Nissan’s commitment to meeting the performance expectations of Middle Eastern drivers.
Under the hood lies the twin-turbo V6 VR35DDTT, meticulously assembled at Nissan’s Iwaki Plant in Japan. The NISMO-red engine cover and commemorative metal plate signify its high-performance pedigree. Paired with a recalibrated 9-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters, the Patrol NISMO delivers razor-sharp responsiveness on highways and mountain roads alike.

Enhanced Cooling: A redesigned front bumper directs airflow to the brakes, reducing disc temperatures by 6% during intense driving.
Optimized Aerodynamics: Rear diffusers and an extended spoiler improve stability and grip at high speeds.
Race-Ready Handling: Lightweight 22-inch forged alloy wheels (co-developed with RAYS) enhance cornering and braking efficiency.
Bold, Race-Inspired Design
The Patrol NISMO makes a striking statement with:
A dramatic V-Motion grille with a 3D honeycomb mesh for improved airflow.
Air curtains on the front bumper to reduce lift and enhance downforce.
NISMO-exclusive Stealth Gray among five dynamic color options, with dual-tone black roof variants available.
Inside, the cabin blends luxury and sportiness:
Black-and-red upholstery with contrast stitching.
Honeycomb-patterned seats for enhanced support.
Carbon fiber accents, red seat belts, and aluminum pedals for a motorsport feel.
Thrilling, Refined Driving Dynamics
The Patrol NISMO’s NISMO-tuned E-Dampers automatically adjust suspension stiffness for optimal handling, whether on tight corners or open highways. The tuned exhaust system delivers a deep, resonant growl, while Active Sound Enhancement (ASE) enriches the cabin experience.
