The Nissan Patrol is an SUV that needs no introduction. In the UAE, it is a local favourite, and the most elite garages in the country are all sure to feature at least one Nissan Patrol. A few years ago, Nissan launched the NISMO edition of the Patrol. The Nissan Patrol NISMO stands as the pinnacle of sportiness and high performance within the Patrol lineup.
NISMO stands for Nissan Motorsports International, which is the racing division of Nissan. As a result, the Nissan Patrol NISMO features more power, style, and cutting-edge technology than any other version of the Patrol. Here are the top things you need to know about the Nissan Patrol NISMO.
High-Performance Version Of The Nissan Patrol
The Nissan Patrol NISMO is the sportier, more aggressive sibling of the renowned Nissan Patrol SUV. It embodies the spirit of motorsport and high-performance driving while maintaining the robustness and reliability that the Patrol is known for. This is an SUV with a capable off-road drivetrain that dominates the road and can even take on the racetrack.
Its World Premiere Took Place In Dubai In 2015
Dubai, a city known for its opulence and love for luxury vehicles, was the stage for the world premiere of the Nissan Patrol NISMO back in 2015. As aforementioned, the Nissan Patrol is a local favourite and has been so since the Fourth Generation (Y60) of the SUV. Read all about the history and generations of the Nissan Patrol here.

Nissan Patrol NISMO Facelift Revealed In 2021
The sixth-generation Nissan Patrol was launched in 2010 and received a minor facelift in 2015. However, it underwent a more significant redesign in 2019. However, the NISMO edition still used the older design until 2021 when the NISMO facelift was revealed.
Sporty Styling & Aerodynamic Body Kit
The new Nissan Patrol NISMO features an ever so slightly more aerodynamic design while retaining its aggressive stance and sporty demeanor. The updated model boasts enhanced features and design elements, ensuring it remains at the forefront of performance SUVs. From its sleek lines to its aggressive front grille, the Nissan Patrol NISMO showcases athleticism and power.
The aerodynamic body kit not only enhances its visual appeal but also improves performance by reducing drag and increasing stability at high speeds. At the rear, the massive spoiler and sporty diffuser further add to the styling. The stop lamp in the diffuser was inspired by the ones on F1 cars.
Premium & Sporty Interior
Inside the Nissan Patrol NISMO, you’re greeted by a premium and sporty interior that reflects its high-performance capabilities. Luxurious materials, such as leather and carbon fiber accents, adorn the cabin, while NISMO branding and red stitching add a touch of flair.
The seats are crafted in leather and alcantara — elements that one would usually find in the cockpit of a supercar. Comfort, convenience, and cutting-edge technology come together seamlessly to create an unparalleled driving experience.
Engine Tuned By Takumi Master Craftsmen
In Japan, the word ‘Takumi’ describes a master craftsman who has perfected his art over years of work and dedication in the same discipline. Nissan’s Takumi are the skilled engineers who assemble the twin-turbo V6 engine of the Nissan GT-R at the brand’s plant in Yokohama. Read all about the history & generations of the Nissan GT-R here.
The same Takumi engineers were involved in tuning the 5.6-litre V8 engine of the Nissan Patrol NISMO. As a result, it produces 428hp and 560Nm. Back when it was launched, this figure was 28hp and 39Nm higher than the standard Nissan Patrol 5.6. The NISMO version’s engine produced this figure while still being as reliable and robust.
NISMO-tuned Suspension & Bilstein Shocks
The Nissan Patrol NISMO isn’t just another SUV with a more aggressive engine tune. The engineers worked on delivering a car that offers more performance all around. To harness the power of its engine and provide precise handling, the Nissan Patrol NISMO features a NISMO-tuned suspension system with Bilstein shocks.
