Nissan Patrol Nismo 2022: First Look & Photos

The Nissan Patrol is ancient history in France because the model has disappeared for several years here. But in certain regions of the globe where States are less careful in terms of polluting emissions, the famous all-terrain vehicle continues its journey, in a more modern form today. It even offers itself the luxury of a new sports version Nismo, which has just been presented in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

It’s no secret that the people of the United Arab Emirates and the big local landowners, fuel for the petrodollars, are fans of luxury and sports cars. Sensitive to the expectations of these somewhat particular customers, Nissan has developed a Nismo version of its 2021 vintage Patrol, a massive vehicle powered by a powerful V8, which is added to the selection of sports models of the brand, including in particular the 370Z Nismo and the GT-R Nismo. Launched in 2016 in the United Arab Emirates, the sports branch of the Japanese manufacturer has met with some success with customers in the Middle East. Nissan’s off-roaders have been very popular for a long time now, in these arid lands where large desert areas are never very far away. The new Nissan Patrol Nismo thus combines several characteristics that make the success of the Japanese firm’s models locally. It had its world premiere at a virtual event held as part of Expo 2020 Dubai.
