Nissan Patrol

The Patrol is one of Nissan’s most iconic vehicles, especially here in the Gulf. It doesn’t compete with luxury SUVs in terms of refinement, but its power and bold design make it truly stand out. It comes with a 5.6L V8 engine delivering 400 horsepower and 560 Nm of torque, paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. It’s a heavy vehicle (around 2.7 tons), so don’t expect explosive acceleration from a standstill—but once you hit 80 km/h, the torque delivery becomes very enjoyable and the acceleration feels smooth and strong. In terms of comfort and stability, it uses a body-on-frame chassis, which gives it serious off-road capability. The suspension is independent front and rear, and it handles bumps and rough terrain impressively well. However, in city driving, the vehicle’s weight makes it feel a bit sluggish during quick maneuvers or lane changes. Newer models are getting more expensive and are not as widely available, but with its specs and a price around AED 300,000, the Patrol still offers excellent value for money—especially if you’re looking for a big, powerful SUV without the need for luxury bells and whistles.
