Remember the Nissan Patrol NISMO from 2021? Yes, that SUV that identifies as a sports car, packing 428 horses and a chassis-twisting 560 Nm of peak torque? There’s a new one now. And as with its predecessor, this beast is again reserved exclusively for the Middle East — because apparently, that’s the only place where people ask their family SUV to moonlight as a track weapon.
Unveiled with all the subtlety of a fireworks show, the all-new Patrol NISMO is now the most powerful Patrol ever, pushing out a region-exclusive 495 horsepower (369 kW) and an even breathtaking 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque from its 3.5-liter V6 twin-turbo motor. That’s nearly 70 more horses than the old model and enough to keep sand dunes — and slow traffic — firmly in the rear-view.
It also gets the proper NISMO treatment: track-inspired suspension, lightweight 22-inch forged alloys co-developed with RAYS, aerodynamic tweaks everywhere, and a recalibrated exhaust delivering the kind of growl you wouldn’t expect from a vehicle that seats eight.
Dimension-wise, it’s bigger and meaner than the standard Patrol. The new Patrol NISMO stretches 5,295 mm long (208.5 inches), 2,070 mm wide (81.5 inches), and stands 1,945 mm tall (76.6 inches), riding on a 3,075 mm wheelbase (121.1 inches). Ground clearance is 195 mm (7.7 inches), with approach, ramp, and departure angles of 23°, 26°, and 25.5°, respectively. Curb weight tips the scales at 2,817 kg (6,211 lbs).
Meanwhile, on the inside… it is black and red everywhere, and features carbon-fibre accents, red seatbelts, and a quilt pattern so aggressive it probably adds horsepower. Just kidding. It does not. Available across the Middle East from July 2025. You can learn more about this beautiful beast HERE. Before that, steal a few more looks after the break.
