The long-awaited new Nissan Patrol 2025 was presented (5 photos)
The new Nissan Patrol of the seventh generation was presented in Abu Dhabi. The large SUV has changed significantly. Focus writes about it.
Like its predecessor (which was produced for 14 years), the Nissan Patrol remains a more affordable sibling of the Infiniti QX80, and the model will continue to be sold under the name Nissan Armada in the North American market.
Nissan Patrol 2025 design
The new Nissan Patrol is similar in profile to the 2025 Infiniti QX80. It has a classic two-volume silhouette with a high hood and thick triangular rear roof pillars. However, its wide grille is different, the door handles are conventional (rather than retractable), and the headlights and taillights are mounted vertically.
The new platform increased body stiffness by 25%. Also, in some countries, an off-road version with beveled bumpers, additional bottom protection and high-profile rubber will be offered.
Interior and configuration of Nissan Patrol 2025
The interior of the Nissan Patrol 2025 has been significantly improved. Two 14.3-inch displays were installed on the front panel - a virtual instrument panel and a touchscreen multimedia display. A separate 9-inch touchscreen has replaced the climate control switches, and there is also a projection on the windshield.
The SUV was released in versions for 7 and 8 seats. The front seats can now be equipped not only with an electric drive, heating and ventilation, but also with massage. Other options include monitors for rear passengers, acoustics with 12 speakers, all-round cameras with off-road mode and the ProPilot semi-autonomous driving system.

The 5.6-liter V8 was replaced by a more economical 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 that develops 425 hp. and 700 N∙m. Also available is a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated 316 hp. A new 9-speed automatic gearbox works in tandem with the motors. The SUV can tow a 3.8-ton trailer.
