Latest Nissan Patrol Pricing in the UAE — Variants, Use Cases and Buyer Advice

Abu Dhabi: The Nissan Patrol, the full-size, three-row SUV, needs no introduction in the UAE, as it’s on every family’s radar when looking for a seven‑seater. One of the top category leaders, Patrol has everything you need in the UAE’s driving conditions, earning trust over decades through its reliable performance. Whether for long highway drives, family duties, or weekend desert escapes, the Nissan Patrol serves every purpose remarkably; this reliability is why buyers keep returning, often upgrading from one Patrol to the next without hesitation.

The 2026 Nissan Patrol available in the market is the seventh generation, and it received a significant facelift in 2025, making it even more appealing to buyers. To appeal to a wider buyer segment, Nissan offers this SUV in 10 different variants, as the base one focuses on durability and value, while higher ones promise comfort, cutting-edge technology, and superior driving dynamics. Anyone considering buying should know each variant to select the most suitable one and avoid paying for features you may never use or missing out on essentials that suit your lifestyle better. Read everything you need to know about the variants.

From XE to Platinum: Patrol's Variant  Value Guide

Nissan offers ten variants across the two engine options, which makes selecting the right one slightly more involved. The base 3.8L V6 engine (316 hp) is available in the XE, SE T2, SE Titanium, and SE Platinum City. The more powerful 3.5L V6TT (425 hp/700 Nm) is fitted to the LE T1, LE T2, LE Titanium, LE Titanium Plus, LE Platinum City, and PRO‑4X. All variants are 4WD with the 9‑speed automatic.

Here's the pricing breakdown:

Variant	Price (AED)	Engine	Power	Key Features
XE	239,900	3.8L V6	316 HP	Basic cloth seats, 18-inch wheels, manual climate
SE T2	264,900	3.8L V6	316 HP	Leatherette, roof rails, wireless charging
SE Titanium	293,900	3.8L V6	316 HP	ProPILOT, 14.3-inch screens, Klipsch audio
SE Platinum City	322,900	3.8L V6	316 HP	Massage seats, HUD, 3D monitor
LE T1	297,900	3.5L V6TT	425 HP	Turbo power, basic interior
LE T2	321,900	3.5L V6TT	425 HP	Leatherette, panoramic roof
LE Titanium	347,900	3.5L V6TT	425 HP	Premium leatherette, e-damper suspension
PRO-4X	362,900	3.5L V6TT	425 HP	Off-road setup, adaptive air suspension
LE Titanium Plus	359,900	3.5L V6TT	425 HP	Quilted leather, ventilated seats
LE Platinum City	389,900	3.5L V6TT	425 HP	Top spec, adaptive air, 22-inch wheels

The table clearly shows the key variants, but the prices alone don’t explain why someone might choose the SE Titanium instead of stretching for the LE Titanium, or why the PRO‑4X exists when the LE Platinum City is only AED 27,000 more.

Patrol Powertrain Guide

It’s often observed that most buyers focus only on the power difference: 316 hp vs 425 hp. That’s not the best way to look at it; the real difference lies in torque and where it’s used.

The 3.8L V6 makes 386 Nm, which is sufficient. It’s fine for highway driving, adequate for city driving, and acceptable for light sand work. But it’s noticeably weaker at altitude, struggles when fully loaded with family and luggage, and lacks the punch for steep dune climbs.

The 3.5L V6 twin‑turbo produces 700 Nm. That’s not just a bit more; it’s a different driving experience. The engine provides strong low‑end grunt, instant throttle response, and easy overtaking from highway speeds. In the desert, this makes a significant difference between carefully planning your line and simply pointing where you want to go.

Fuel economy? The turbo model is slightly more efficient, around 10.1 km/L versus 9.7 km/L for the V6 under similar conditions . The fuel savings alone don’t justify the roughly AED 58,000–63,000 price gap from the SE Titanium to the LE T1 or higher with other Available Fuel-Efficient SUVs. You buy the twin‑turbo because you need the torque or because resale markets show that buyers consistently prefer it.

Which Patrol Makes Sense in the UAE

XE: AED 239,900
The base model is best avoided for private buyers, for a few reasons. It has basic cloth seats, manual climate control, and minimal features. You’re not buying a Patrol to save money at this level. The only realistic buyers are fleets or operators who need the Patrol badge and body for bulk orders. For personal use, it’s a poor choice that will feel under-equipped; it exists mainly to make the starting price look lower.

SE T2 : AED 264,900
This is a step up from the XE but still a compromise. You get leatherette, roof rails, and wireless charging, but you still miss the twin 14.3‑inch screens that define the modern Patrol experience. If possible, skip this too unless AED 29,000 is genuinely the difference between buying and not buying.

SE Titanium: AED 293,900
This is the point where the Patrol really starts to make sense for most families: twin 14.3‑inch Monolith Displays, ProPILOT, Klipsch 12‑speaker audio, and a panoramic roof. It also has a strong safety package: lane‑keep assist, blind‑spot intervention, intelligent cruise control, and more. For a family SUV handling school runs and weekend desert trips, this hits a sweet spot. The V6 engine is adequate for most UAE driving, so at this price, it’s a sensible choice.

SE Platinum City: AED 322,900
Adds massage seats, a head‑up display, a 3D around‑view monitor, and biometric cooling. It’s about AED 29,000 more than the SE Titanium. The main issue? For roughly AED 24,000 less, you can get the LE T2 with the stronger 3.5L V6 twin‑turbo. Unless you very specifically want a V6 engine combined with all the luxury features (and it’s hard to find a strong practical reason for that), this variant is hard to justify.

LE T1: AED 297,900
The most affordable way into the twin‑turbo powertrain. You get the 425 hp/700 Nm engine, but very little in comfort and tech: cloth seats, basic screens, and mostly manual controls. It’s the opposite of the over‑specced SE Platinum City. If you can afford AED 297,900, you can probably stretch another AED 24,000 for the LE T2. This variant makes sense only if you want the turbo engine and plan to upgrade the interior later, or if you genuinely don’t care about luxury.

LE T2: AED 321,900
Now you’re in a much more compelling position. Twin‑turbo power, leatherette, panoramic roof, rear power liftgate, and more. This is the logical entry point for buyers who prioritise performance over luxury. It’s less equipped than the SE Titanium (no ProPILOT, smaller screens) but has the far better engine. Your choice here depends on whether you value the latest driver aids or prefer the outright power and torque.

LE Titanium: AED 347,900
The best‑balanced variant in the range, combining the twin‑turbo engine with premium leatherette upholstery, a full ADAS safety suite, Klipsch audio, e‑damper suspension, and 20‑inch wheels. It has everything most buyers actually need, without adding niche features that increase cost without much benefit. Importantly, it holds strong value in the resale market because it includes the tech, safety, and suspension that make the Patrol comfortable on long drives. Paying AED 26,000 more than the LE T2 is justified for the added comfort and advanced features in daily use.

PRO‑4X: AED 362,900
Built for a specific buyer: the serious off‑roader who actually uses the Patrol in the desert. It comes with adaptive air suspension, all‑terrain tyres, front skid plates, underbody protection, and off‑road styling accents. It loses some luxury features (no ProPILOT, which is irrelevant off‑road anyway) in comparison to other High-End Luxury SUVs but gains real dune capability. The air suspension and ground clearance make it far more capable on technical dunes. If you dune‑bash regularly, this is the variant to choose. If you don’t, it’s overkill, and the money is better spent elsewhere.

LE Titanium Plus: AED 359,900
Adds quilted leather, ventilated seats, a massage function, and biometric cooling on top of the LE Titanium. It’s about AED 12,000 more than the LE Titanium, mainly for additional interior comfort. For most buyers, opting for the LE Titanium is a wiser decision, as you can either save the difference or use it for accessories. Only consider this variant if you spend a lot of time in the car and value ultimate comfort over value.

LE Platinum City: AED 389,900
Here you get almost everything: adaptive air suspension, 22‑inch wheels, full leather, all the latest tech, a 3D around‑view monitor, and an adaptive driving beam. By paying about AED 30,000 more than the LE Titanium Plus, you’re getting a flagship, near‑bespoke package. This variant is for buyers who want the ultimate Patrol, but for most users, the LE Titanium is the smarter, more practical choice.

What Should You Do?

Buy the LE Titanium unless you have a very specific reason not to. It balances power, features, and long‑term value better than any other variant in the range. The SE Titanium makes sense only if the budget is genuinely tight and you prioritise safety tech and screens over turbo power. The PRO‑4X is ideal if you do serious off‑roading; if not, skip it and save the money. Avoid the lowest trims (XE, SE T2, LE T1) unless you’re buying for a fleet that doesn’t care about comfort. The LE Platinum City is hard to justify for most buyers; the AED 30,000 premium over the LE Titanium Plus is better kept or used elsewhere.

Always avoid financing more than you can comfortably afford just because “resale will cover it.” The market shifts, and what holds strong value today may not do so in three years when the next generation arrives.

And one last thing: the Patrol is still very much worth buying in 2026 if you understand what you’re getting. It’s not a Land Cruiser, but it’s a solid alternative with strong local support, proven off‑road ability, and genuine presence on UAE roads. Just don’t buy the wrong variant trying to save money you’ll lose anyway, or overspend on features you’ll never use.

Use Case	Recommended Variant	Key Reasons
School Run Family	SE Titanium	Safety tech, screens, ProPILOT, V6 adequate, saves AED 54k vs LE Titanium
Weekend Desert Driver	LE Titanium / PRO-4X	Track capability/technical terrain, avoid under-equipped base Variants
Highway Cruiser	LE T2 minimum	Torque for overtaking, high-speed power over luxury
Status Buyer	LE Platinum City	/technicalTop features, AED 96k premium over SE Titanium

Pricing

Nissan has priced the Patrol to compete with the Toyota Land Cruiser, which in the UAE starts around AED 239,900 and goes up to about AED 412,900. On paper, the Patrol undercuts the Land Cruiser at most comparable variant levels. In reality, Land Cruiser resale is still 5–10% stronger, largely because of Toyota’s long‑standing reputation for reliability, justified or not.

The Patrol’s biggest weakness is not the SUV itself; it’s that many buyers treat it as a default when the Land Cruiser isn’t available or when the waitlist is too long.

If you genuinely prefer the Patrol, there are strong reasons: better infotainment integration, more advanced tech in the SE Titanium and LE Titanium, and the availability of a more powerful turbo V6. But if you’re buying it only because you can’t get a Land Cruiser, understand that decision will cost you on resale.

Conclusion

The Nissan Patrol’s pricing in the UAE, from AED 239,900 to AED 389,900, reflects significant differences in capability and features, not just a feature list. The LE Titanium at AED 347,900 offers the best combination of power, technology, and long‑term value for most buyers. When you visit the showroom, it’s unlikely that the salesperson will tell you that both the cheapest and the most expensive variants are poor choices for different reasons: one is too basic, and the other charges a big premium for marginal gains. It's always smarter to decide whether to buy Nissan Patrol or not based on actual use, not just aspiration, and you’ll be perfectly fine.
