Exploring the features of 2025 Nissan Patrol

ABU DHABI: Nissan launched the much-awaited successor to the Y62 Patrol in the form of the all-new 2025 Patrol on September 4, 2024. The Nissan Patrol is an absolute money-maker for the Japanese automaker in the UAE – 2023 alone witnessed a 9-percent increase in Patrol sales. The 2025 Nissan Patrol will continue to be an aspirational car for many – like its predecessor.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How much does the 2025 Nissan Patrol cost? 

    The all-new 2025 Nissan Patrol costs between AED 239,900 and AED 379,900 in the UAE.
  • What are the key highlights of the 2025 Nissan Patrol?

    The 2025 Nissan Patrol stands out for its brutishly massive size, powerful engine, advanced safety features, luxurious interior, and enhanced off-road capabilities.
  • The 2025 Nissan Patrol in the UAE is available in nine variants, costing between AED 239,900 and AED 379,900. Even though the pricier & all-new Nissan Patrol Nismo avatar hasn’t been launched, prices have gone up. For example, the entry-level variant of the older Patrol started from AED 210,000 – its replacement is 30,000 dirhams dearer.

    Does the all-new Patrol deserve its steep asking price when compared to its predecessor? Moreover, does it have what it takes to hold its ground against segment rivals? These are exactly what we will find out today, discovering if the 2025 Nissan Patrol’s features make their presence felt.

    Top 10 features of the Nissan Patrol

    1. Brutishly massive

    It would be remiss of us if we didn’t mention the physical aspect of the 2025 Nissan Patrol as one of its main features. It spans 5,350 mm from nose to tail, measures up to 2,350 mm from mirror to mirror, and stands up to 1,955 mm tall from the ground up.

    This means that the all-new Patrol is bigger than its closest rival, the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser. Not just that, with a wheelbase of 3,075 mm, the distance between the Patrol’s front & rear axles over the LC is longer by 225 mm.

    The 22-inch machine-cut alloy rims of the 2025 Nissan Patrol are just as impressive and 2 inches larger than what’s available with the Land Cruiser. While this is irrelevant when going off-road, the larger rims add to the Patrol’s charms when meandering through city streets.

    1. Spacious and comfortable cabin

    The cabin of the 2025 Nissan Patrol will spoil you with its creature comforts. There is no lack of space – even the third-row seats are actually usable. While seating three abreast back there may not be the best idea, it is doable (in a pinch). The ‘Zero Gravity’ seats have finally made it to the Patrol, and they are nice.

    The width of the Patrol means that there is enough wriggle room across the three rows with few compromises. The high seating position means that you can lord over smaller vehicles with impunity – something that isn’t uncommon in the region. Jokes aside, the cabin of the all-new Patrol can be a place of calm ambiance and relaxation.

    In fact, the seats integrate massaging functions along with heating & cooling features as well. While most of these are reserved for the front occupants, they will lead to a better experience – no matter the distance.

    1. Fantastic quality mixed with usable practicality

    There’s acres of space inside the 2025 Nissan Patrol, we already know that. However, the quality of materials used here can easily stand up to the likes of high-end VWs or GM SUVs. The new Patrol is truly punching its weight when it comes to the feel of its cabin.

    While there is a blend of different colours and materials, they all come together rather well. The fact that there was so much space to play with, Nissan has really made every inch count without making the cabin feel cramped and overdone. The roominess also means that storage spaces are abundant.

    The extra-wide centre console up front is a haven for those who can’t have enough storage. The sliding front part reveals cupholders, while the centre cubby acts as a cool box – so useful during UAE’s sweltering summer. Furthering the Patrol’s practicality are things like rear cargo nets, a luggage shelf for smaller items, and electrically-operable rear seats.

    1. MyNissan App & NissanConnect Services

    The all-new Patrol becomes more user-friendly thanks to the MyNissan App. Owners can gain access to this useful smartphone app by creating a NissanConnect ID. Once that is done, you can quite literally keep track of almost everything that’s important about your SUV.

    Three user profiles are associated with this app: Owner, Standard, and Lite. The latter two presumably restrict access to certain features of the car as determined by the owner. Then there are the remote accessibility features offered by the MyNissan App.

    Using this app, owners can find your Patrol and even when details regarding its ignition status and associated location. Those with admin access can control aspects like the door locks, engine ignition, climate control, vehicle horn, exterior lights, etc. It also allows users to track other aspects (like vehicle malfunctions or pre-set breaches of curfew or speed) and call emergency services.

    1. Off-road prowess

    The Patrol was always respected for its off-roading abilities few could match. With the all-new Patrol, Nissan has tried to level up these well-known strengths. It starts off with the independent double-wishbone front suspension and steel coil springs with revised shock absorbers even on base variants.

    Higher variants of the 2025 Nissan Patrol have the same front setup but with electric rear shock absorbers with or without height-adjustable air bladders. The latter not only improves ride quality on paved roads but also boosts the Patrol’s capability on challenging terrain. Of course, the off-road-specific variants get fortified underbody reinforcements for protection.

    Nissan has equipped the all-new Patrol with at least three off-road modes – there’s Sand, Mud, and Rock. Given how good the old Patrol was in tackling desert dunes, the new one will not be a letdown. A rear diff-lock is standard, while features like off-road bumpers, ‘Invisible Hood View,’ and electronic dampers can be had as well.

    1. On-road manners

    Despite its massive size and weight, the 2025 Nissan Patrol will not be an unwieldy ship on the road. This is partly down to its finely-tuned suspension systems (especially the ones with the electric shock absorbers & air suspension). There will be body lean, but it won’t be scary or unpredictable – this is a Patrol forte.

    The steering is fairly predictable and well-weighted for a big SUV, with the powertrain easily being up to the task. You will feel the mass if you push the Patrol into winding corners, but the response of the chassis and the suspension is quite subdued. It also drives well over tarmac, with the top-end variants feeling relaxed enough (mainly due to the adaptive suspension).

    1. Loads of modern conveniences

    As expected, the all-new Nissan Patrol comes rocking a lengthy list of noteworthy features. The 2025 Patrol gets powered & auto-folding ORVMs with built-in puddle lamps, a smart key with auto door unlock/lock, and tri-zone climate control. These are followed by a cool box, paddle shifters, and an electrically adjustable steering wheel with rake & reach adjustment.

    Of course, that is not all. The Patrol adds wireless charging, a remote engine start, a hands-free tailgate, a panoramic sunroof, a 12-speaker Klipsch premium sound system, and dual 12.3-inch ‘Monolith’ screens. This includes an infotainment system that gets Google Maps (plus other Google-supported apps), plus Android Auto & Apple CarPlay.

    The new Patrol sports rear-seat entertainment with twin 12.8-inch screens, 64-colour LED mood lighting, multiple USB & 12-volt sockets, along with quilted leather upholstery and a frameless IRVM with digital rear view.

    1. No shortage of safety tech

    Some of the safety tech that the 2025 Nissan Patrol boasts includes automatic headlights & wipers, all-around parking sensors with surround-view 3D cameras, and rear-seat occupant alert. Then there are the adaptive LED headlights, a head-up display, seven airbags, electronic stability & traction control, and adaptive cruise control.

    The Nissan ProPilot suite further adds predictive forward-collision warning with auto-emergency braking, rear auto-emergency braking, plus lane-departure prevention & assist. These are followed up by niceties like blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and high-beam assist with adaptive technology.

    1. Updated and powerful engines

    The base 2025 Nissan Patrol is now powered by a 3.8-litre naturally-aspirated V6 producing 316 hp and 386 Nm. For perspective, the former 4.0-litre unit developed around 275 horsepower. The top-end 2025 Nissan Patrol sources its power from a 3.5-liter twin-turbocharged V6 cranking out 425 hp and 700 Nm. Compared to the old N/A V8, this unit develops 25 more horses.

    Mated to both these V6 engines is a new 9-speed automatic transmission, backed by three drive modes – Standard, Eco, and Sport. The base V6 motor is rated at 9.7 kmpl (10.3 L/100 km), with the performance-oriented twin-turbo six-cylinder rated at 10.1 kmpl (9.9 L/100 km). This means that the 2025 Nissan Patrol wields more power and is more economical than the equivalent Land Cruiser.

    1. Less expensive than the Toyota Land Cruiser

    While this may not be a feature as such according to some, we think the price of the 2025 Nissan Patrol is a feature of its own. Compared to the all-new Toyota Land Cruiser, the all-new Nissan Patrol is less expensive – especially when it comes to the top-end variants. The cost difference is over 30,000 dirhams!

    1. Good performance

    While Nissan has yet to reveal the true performance figures of the 2025 Patrol, it is bound to be impressive. Of course, considering that it is a nearly three-ton off-roader vaguely disguised as a city-friendly car. From the old to the new, curb weight hasn’t gone up significantly. However, the new engines and transmission will change the performance.

    In this case, for the better. The 9-speed gearbox will not only impact fuel economy but also acceleration and top speeds. Playing a big role in this will be the 2025 Patrol’s revised steering, improved suspension, and expectedly better handling.

    Conclusion

    The 2025 Nissan Patrol sticks to the tried & tested formula perfected by its predecessor but with marked real-world improvements. Not only will the new features make the Patrol a far more competent SUV in the premium 4x4 space, but its more modern mechanical bits will be felt both on- and off-road.

    When pitted against the Toyota Land Cruiser (LC 300), the all-new Nissan Patrol (Y63) will be a better all-rounder. Of course, it is better to experience all the features mentioned here at a Nissan UAE showroom near you.
