Unveiling of the Powerful 2026 Nissan Patrol Nismo Model
New Nissan Patrol Nismo Unveiled, Exclusively for the Middle East
After a decade since the debut of the Y62 Patrol Nismo, Nissan has revealed the new Y63 Patrol Nismo, specifically designed for the Middle East. This high-performance SUV is set to make its mark with a host of upgrades and enhancements.
The Nissan Patrol Nismo boasts a striking appearance, with a contrast black roof and Nismo red accents, depending on the colour chosen from the five available options: White Pearl, Gray Metallic, Blue Metallic, Black Pearl, and Stealth Gray.
The exterior of the Nissan Patrol Nismo has been redesigned to optimise performance. Air splitters, layered air diffusers, and air outlets collectively generate downforce and improve grip at the rear. The front bumper incorporates a front spoiler that generates downforce and enhances front-end grip and high-speed stability.
Under the hood, the Nissan Patrol Nismo is equipped with a 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine, which is the most powerful version of the VR35DDTT engine offered globally. Power output has been increased to 369kW (up from 317kW).
The suspension system has been recalibrated and features Nismo-tuned "E-Dampers" that can adjust damping levels in real-time. The Nissan Patrol Nismo is paired with a recalibrated nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
The Nissan Patrol Nismo is also lighter, thanks to 22-inch forged alloy wheels co-developed by RAYS, which are 23% lighter than the wheels on the standard Y63 Patrol.
Inside, the Nissan Patrol Nismo features a black-and-red colourway with a vast array of genuine leather and suede finishes. Other interior highlights include Nismo logos embroidered onto the headrests, red seat belts, a red engine start-stop button, carbon fibre accents, and aluminium pedals.
Orders for the new Y63 Patrol are set to open in Australia in late 2026, with first examples potentially arriving in early 2027. However, it's worth noting that the Y63-generation Nissan Patrol Nismo has never been offered in Australia and New Zealand.
Nissan continues to offer the V8-powered Y62 Patrol in Australia and New Zealand, which recently received an update that brought a vast array of interior technology improvements.
Each engine undergoes special manual tuning by experts at Nissan's Iwaki production plant in Japan. The new Nissan Patrol Nismo is a testament to Nissan's commitment to performance and design, promising an exhilarating driving experience for those who appreciate high-performance vehicles.
