Nissan Patrol Desert Edition
The Nissan Patrol Desert Edition made
its global debut at the 13th Dubai International Motor Show. Conceptualised and
developed in collaboration with the Middle East’s most influential motorsports
personality, Dr Mohammed Ben Sulayem, the Patrol Desert Edition is a region
specific offering.
Visually identifiable with special
badges, beadlock wheels, and prominent bash plates, the Desert Edition is based
on the Nissan Patrol LE, powered by a powerful 5.6L V8 engine that generates
400 hp and 560 Nm of torque. With Dr Ben Sulayem’s personal involvement, the
Nissan Patrol is now even more capable. Its suspension has been specially tuned
after extensive testing in the harshest of desert conditions.
Managing Director of Nissan Middle East,
Samir 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-road version of the Patrol tailored to the
region.”
Special skid plates for underbody
protection, an on-board tyre inflator and beadlock wheels that enable drivers
to deflate to extremely low pressures for extra ease are all present. To
further assist off-road adventures, 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.
The Nissan Patrol Desert Edition is
priced at US$ 69,430 USD in the UAE. Prices per market will vary from region to
region.
