The Nissan Patrol Desert Edition made its global debut at the 13th annual Dubai Motor Show, affirming Nissan's customer-centric commitment to delivering tailored models for regional consumers.
"The new Nissan Patrol Desert Edition is priced at $69,430 in the UAE and it's available immediately in the market," managing director of Nissan Middle East Samir Cherfan told Khlaeej Times at the show.
"We are not making money on this model," Cherfan informed.
The Nissan Patrol has been made even more capable off-road as it's a new model conceptualised and developed in collaboration with the Middle East's most famous and influential motorsports personality, Dr Mohammed Ben Sulayem, specifically for this region.
Cherfan said: "The development of the Nissan Patrol Desert Edition followed a research study that we conducted in the GCC, which outlined that our consumers wanted an ultimate off-roading version of the Patrol tailored to the region. ..we believed it was fitting for us to offer a special Desert Edition for its fans here."
Visually identifiable with special 'Desert Edition' and 'MBS' badges, this new model is based on the Nissan Patrol LE, powered by Nissan's powerful 5.6L V8 engine that generates a formidable 400hp and 560Nm of torque. It is mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission that incorporates manual mode and synchronised rev control - a set-up that guarantees unmatched driving enjoyment, whatever the terrain.
Its suspension has been specially tuned after extensive and punishing sessions of desert testing. Having spent so much of his time competing in some of the harshest conditions on earth, Dr Ben Sulayem went further still and specified special equipment to ensure the Desert Edition won't ever be caught short.
Special skid plates for underbody protection are an obvious enhancement. In addition it has an on-board tyre inflator for getting the car's tyres back to normal pressure for driving home, as well as 'Bead-lock' wheels that enable those tyres to be used at extremely low pressures, without the risk of the tyres coming off. Both of these technical additions make the Nissan Patrol Desert Edition unique in the market.
The Desert Edition is supplied with a state-of-the-art navigation system as part of its infotainment package, complete with forward facing and reversing cameras alongside a Bluetooth hands-free system.
