The forthcoming 2022 Nissan Patrol Nismo has been spied in the middle of a photoshoot in the United Arab Emirates. The current Nissan Patrol, also sold as the Armada in the United States, was unveiled in late 2019 and the Japanese automaker clearly hasn’t wasted any time in creating a high-performance version. While it is unclear which markets will receive the new Patrol Nismo, the Middle East will likely prove to be its most popular market.
Like the original Nissan Patrol Nismo that
was introduced in 2015, as well as other Nismo models, the vehicle featured in
this video sports a host of red accents to differentiate it from the regular
Patrol. More specifically, we can see bespoke front and rear bumpers that give
the 4×4 some added road presence.
In addition, we can see that the 4×4
sports a spoiler stretching off from the roof, black pillars, a black front
grille, and unique side skirts. It is also rolling on black and silver wheels
that appear identical to the 22-inch Rays wheels of the 2015 model. Engine
details won’t be known until Nissan officially launches the vehicle but as the
standard 2021 Patrol is available with the same 5.6-liter V8 as the
pre-facelift model, there’s a good chance the updated Nismo variant will
feature the same tuned version of this V8 as the older model. That could mean
approximately 428 hp, more than enough to make the flagship Patrol feel quite
brisk despite its size.
