2026 NISSAN PATROL LE PLATINUM 3.5L V6 TWIN TURBO — GCC SPECIFICATION

ENGINE AND DRIVETRAIN

The Patrol LE Platinum City is powered by the Nissan VR35 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged petrol V6, which Nissan Middle East rates at 425 hp and 700 Nm for the GCC market. Drive reaches all four wheels through a 9-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system. Six drive modes are selectable on the move: Rock, Mud and Sand for loose and uneven ground, and Sport, Standard and Eco for sealed roads, each altering throttle response, shift pattern and traction calibration. This is the standard twin-turbo tune. The separate Patrol NISMO grade runs a further-developed version of the same engine at a higher output and is a different vehicle; none of its figures apply here.

CHASSIS, STEERING AND BRAKES

The Patrol runs adaptive air suspension with selectable ride height, which raises the body for off-road work and settles it at speed. This grade is fitted with 22-inch machine-cut alloy wheels, the largest offered on the Patrol range alongside the NISMO's forged equivalent. Braking is by four-wheel discs with Brake Assist and anti-lock braking, backed by electronic stability control, traction control and a tyre pressure monitoring system. The vehicle is left-hand drive, built to GCC specification for regional fuel grades and high ambient temperatures.

DIMENSIONS AND CAPACITIES

Nissan Middle East publishes the following figures for the LE Platinum City grade: overall length 5,350 mm, overall width 2,030 mm, overall height 1,945 mm, minimum ground clearance 244 mm and kerb weight 2,813 kg. Wheelbase, fuel tank capacity, gross vehicle weight, towing rating and cargo volume are not published on the GCC grade sheet consulted for this document and are therefore omitted rather than estimated. Note that the GCC Patrol is dimensionally distinct from the Australian-market Y63 and from the North American Nissan Armada; figures published for those markets do not describe this vehicle.

EXTERIOR

The body is finished in black with the dual-tone exterior treatment and carries the V-motion grille, the signature Double C-Shape LED headlights that wrap around the front corners, LED daytime running lights, and the Patrol's puddle lamps that project a heritage motif on approach or unlock. A panoramic sunroof is fitted. Also present are power-folding side mirrors, rain-sensing wipers and the 22-inch machine-cut alloy wheels specific to this grade.

INTERIOR AND SEATING

INFOTAINMENT AND CONNECTIVITY

This grade carries twin 14.3-inch Monolith displays, presented by Nissan as a combined 28.6-inch screen surface spanning the instrument cluster and central touchscreen. The system runs Google built-in, bringing Google Maps navigation and Google Assistant into the vehicle natively, and also supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Bluetooth and USB connectivity are fitted. MyNISSAN connected services add remote door lock and unlock, remote engine start, remote climate control, My Car Finder, vehicle health status reporting, malfunction indicator alerts, emergency eCall and curfew and geo-fence alerts.

DRIVER ASSISTANCE AND SAFETY

ProPILOT manages steering, braking and acceleration and keeps the vehicle centred in its lane, working alongside adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning. Predictive Forward Collision Warning uses a laser range finder to read the road beyond the vehicle ahead, and Rear Automatic Emergency Braking watches for moving objects while reversing and applies the brakes if required. Also fitted are a 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors with parking assist, rear cross-traffic alert, Brake Assist, tyre pressure monitoring, traction and stability control, anti-theft protection, and side and side curtain airbags. No NHTSA or Euro NCAP crash rating is published for this model in the GCC market.

OFF-ROAD AND TOWING

Four-wheel drive, 244 mm of ground clearance and the adaptive air suspension's raised ride height setting underpin the Patrol's off-road capability, with the Rock, Mud and Sand terrain modes recalibrating throttle, traction control and shift behaviour for rocky ground, soft mud and dune sand respectively. Nissan Middle East does not publish a towing capacity or a gross vehicle weight rating for this grade in the GCC grade data consulted, so neither figure is stated here; both should be confirmed with the manufacturer or a regional dealer where a specific towing requirement exists.
