Bold design, race-proven engineering and advanced aerodynamics set the high-performance, premium SUV apart
Building on its heritage as a motorsports brand and catering to the region’s desire for high-performance vehicles, Nissan has rolled out 2023 model of its most powerful SUV, the Patrol NISMO, in the Middle East. Designed exclusively for customers in the Gulf region, the 2023 Patrol NISMO combines the refinement of a luxury SUV with the thrill of a sports car and is admired by automotive and driving enthusiasts across the region.
Launched for the first time in 2015, the Patrol NISMO reinforces the build of the Patrol V8 model and is aligned with Nissan's design philosophy of being bold, energizing, human and alive. Exuding a sense of thrill and excitement, the 2023 Patrol NISMO features a carefully tuned engine by Nissan’s Takumi master craftsmen, as well as NISMO-branded side fender vents, and red accents on the interior and exterior denoting its sporting pedigree.
Thierry Sabbagh, President, Nissan Saudi Arabia, INFINITI Middle East and Managing Director, Nissan Middle East, said: “The 2023 Nissan Patrol NISMO builds on the success of its predecessors and continues to be the ultimate mark of performance, luxury, and respect. As a tangible symbol of our continuous innovation and thrilling driving experiences, the Patrol NISMO defies ordinary and accelerates the Patrol experience to an entirely new level.”
Mr. Nassim Mourani, General Manager – Automotive Group, Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Co., Qatar, said: “Offering relentless power and performance, the 2023 Nissan Patrol NISMO is a legendary vehicle created by elite engineers – the car you’ve dreamt of driving. The NISMO has proved its position as one of the most reliable vehicles, and with this special edition that is designed for the Gulf Region, we are confident that it will exceed the customers’ expectations.”
The distinctive design of the Patrol NISMO exudes sportiness with aerodynamic inserts and a variety of NISMO badges, heighted by the signature NISMO red line wrap around the SUV’s base. The honeycomb three-dimensional mesh emphasizes the signature V-motion grille, flanked by LED headlights to create an imposing presence on the road. In the back, dark chrome inserts and wraparound taillights make a striking impression, while the LED rear fog light - inspired by Formula One - emits the same brightness as the car's brake lights in adverse conditions.
The interiors of the 2023 Patrol NISMO dial up luxurious comfort while underlining NISMO’s racing heritage. Premium quality seats with crafted quilting, together with a black Alcantara steering wheel and red center stripe, allow drivers to feel the thrill while cruising the streets. Red stitching and carbon fiber inserts run along the center console and sit fittingly in the Patrol NISMO for a sporty and dynamic feel. Made of the highest strength and resistance, it is the optimal material for the ultimate car.
This striking center console, features a 12.3-inch infotainment screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, as well as an ergonomically designed Intelligent Driving dial. Adding to the overall experience is a 13-speaker Bose Premium Sound System with perfectly placed speakers to offer a premium audio experience for all onboard. Improved noise reduction also enables drivers to have a more luxurious experience inside the Patrol NISMO.
Under the hood, the Patrol NISMO’s V8 engine is tuned by Nissan’s Takumi craftsmen, a group of five master engine builders who hand-build Nissan GT-R engines – resulting in a concentrated 428hp and peak torque of 560Nm. Bilstein-tuned suspension and shock absorbers, which come in a prominent yellow color, allow for better handling while a side duct in the front bumper, roof spoiler, and lighter 22-inch two-tone aluminum wheels refine aerodynamics to achieve zero lift force.
The 2023 Nissan Patrol NISMO features the latest Nissan Intelligent Mobility (NIM) technologies. This includes Intelligent Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Smart Rear View Mirror, and High Beam Assist.
The 2023 Nissan Patrol NISMO is now available at Nissan’s partner in Qatar, Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Co., in its showrooms at Salwa Road, Al Sadd, Bin Omran, and Al Khor. For more information you can visit one of the showrooms or call 800 0505.
