Nissan celebrated the 70th anniversary of the legendary Patrol with a commemorative model exclusive to the Gulf, at an event that also saw the regional debut of the all-new 2022 Pathfinder at Al Wasl Plaza, the heart of Expo 2020 Dubai.
The highlight of the open-to-public event, inaugurated by Nissan Motor Company's chief operating officer Ashwani Gupta, was a visual journey through time with a display that fused tradition with modernity, commemorating Patrol’s heritage in the region and worldwide.
The 2022 Patrol 70th Anniversary model channels the SUV’s rich heritage with a commemorative badge and enhanced design and technology elements.
The all-new 2022 Pathfinder has been redesigned from the ground up, offering a long heritage of rugged capability and an innovative take on practicality, safety, advanced connectivity, and purpose.
Speaking at the event, Gupta said: “For drivers across generations, the Nissan Patrol has been more than just a vehicle; it offers its customers reliability, power and luxury while taking on any terrain in absolute comfort.”
“Today marks a historic moment for our company as we celebrate Nissan’s longest-running nameplate,” he said. “This is an important milestone for us – as we look back at the success of the last 70 years, we are firmly focused on the future.”
“Combining the tried and trusted with the new, Nissan is moving to the next chapter of its legacy, redefining possibilities and shaping the future, today,” Gupta added.
Since its entry to the region in 1956, the Patrol has formed an endearing bond with the people of the Middle East, proving its capability to conquer the harshest of terrains in sheer luxury and comfort.
Nissan Middle East managing director Thierry Sabbagh said: “For decades, Nissan’s extensive SUV line-up has deepened our connection to the region, each model expertly catering to the evolving needs of our customers and enriching their lives."
More luxurious and connected than ever before, the GCC-exclusive 2022 Patrol 70th Anniversary model sports a host of design and technological upgrades, and carries a distinctive badge on the fender, marking this achievement.
A new V-Motion grille, redesigned bumpers, and new 20” machine cut alloy wheels differentiate the exclusive Patrol from its predecessors, as do the new burgundy interiors and redesigned centre console.
An all-new 12.3” infotainment display along with upgraded wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity elevates the experience.
Paying homage to the original 1987 Pathfinder, the fifth-generation, all-new 2022 model emphasises its bold design through an aggressively styled and muscular exterior, while offering drivers and passengers a safer and more connected experience onboard.
For the first time ever, the 2022 Pathfinder offers a dual-tone exterior and builds on the brand’s Nissan Intelligent Mobility suite of technologies with the introduction of ProPILOT, a hands-on, driver-assist technology that reduces the hassle of stop-and-go highway driving.
The all-new Pathfinder also welcomes a 12.3” digital dashboard and a 10.8” Head-up Display on certain grades, while an all-new 9-speed automatic transmission offers improved acceleration and performance.
