Powertrain & Performance
The 2026 Nissan Patrol Nismo retains the renowned 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6 (VR35DDTT) engine, now meticulously retuned to crank out an astonishing 488 BHP at 5,600 rpm and 700 Nm of torque at 3,600 rpm. This marks a 70 BHP increase over the standard Patrol, ensuring improved power delivery and sharper throttle response.
A recalibrated 9-speed automatic transmission handles the increased muscle, aided by sporty paddle shifters for a more dynamic driving feel. To elevate the aural experience, the Active Sound Enhancement (ASE) system intensifies the engine note within the cabin.

Bold Design & Body Kit
The new Patrol Nismo turns heads with a striking Stealth Grey paint, exclusive to the Nismo lineup. The front fascia flaunts a reworked V-Motion grille with honeycomb mesh, optimizing airflow to the radiator, while the rear gets an extended spoiler that shifts the air separation point—crucial for better aerodynamic stability.
It rides on unique 22-inch forged aluminum alloy wheels wrapped in Bridgestone Alenza Sport A/S Enliten tires. Red-painted brake calipers and NISMO badging complete the striking appearance. The NISMO edition introduces exclusive colorways such as NISMO Stealth Gray and Black Diamond Pearl, both of which can be paired with a contrasting black roof. Only available in a seven-seat configuration.
