Doha: Nissan yesterday announced the launch of its new ‘2017 Patrol V6’ which makes its global debut in the Middle East next month in complement to the current Patrol V8 lineup while offering the same levels of prestige to a broader customer base in the market. “The new Patrol V6 complements the legendary Patrol V8 which is considered one of the most powerful, spacious and popular SUVs in the Middle East,” said Samir Cherfan, Managing Director of Nissan Middle East.
“Our Nissan Patrol business has expanded close to four times from FY11 to FY15, and with the introduction of the Patrol V6 we aim to grow by 20 percent over the next two years,” Samir added. “Specifically designed and built for the demands of the region while taking into account increasing consumer appeal for more fuel efficient, practical, full-sized SUVs, the Patrol V6 still retains the high levels of power and prestige that the legendary Patrol is famous for and has earned it the title ‘hero of all terrains in life.”
The new Patrol 4L V6 was designed for and tested in the region to meet all types of terrain and temperature conditions while delivering the same legendary off-road and on-road capability. It delivers best in class power in the V6 category. With 275 horse power and 394 Nm, the Patrol V6 offers 12 percent more torque in the driving range than the competition while retaining the same towing capacity as the Patrol V8. The Patrol V6 weighs less and enjoys lower ownership costs, making it the ideal choice as a practical, everyday family vehicle while retaining its go-anywhere readiness for any kind of adventure.
Available exclusively in the Middle East in September, the Patrol V6 is identical in design to the Patrol V8 and will be available in both XE and SE grades, each with many optional extras available. Both models have enhanced grade walks and will benefit of new standard specifications such as powered third row seats. Equipped with the Nissan Smart Car Application, the MY17 Patrol is the most connected car in its segment.
Its increased fuel economy makes the Patrol V6 an appealing proposition to a wider customer base, while offering better ride quality and a quieter cabin than its competitors.
