Recently, Nissan released the Patrol 75th Anniversary Edition. This is a commemorative model launched to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the birth of the Patrol lineup. It is based on the Platinum V6TT version of the current seventh-generation Patrol (Y63) and is limited to 1,951 units! This also neatly echoes the birth of the first-generation Patrol in 1951! It is mainly aimed at the Middle East Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) market! Unfortunately, there is still no allocation for the domestic market!
In terms of the overall exterior design, the vehicle's outline remains consistent with the regular version of the all-new Patrol, still possessing the imposing, rugged body of a full-size SUV. The body dimensions are 5,205 × 2,030 × 1,945 mm, with a wheelbase of 3,075 mm, and the total length can reach 5,350 mm with the rear tow hook, giving it a commanding presence. The biggest difference is the full set of exclusive gold-copper-colored trim. The horizontal grille slats, front bumper, fender trim pieces, and body side skirts all feature gold-copper accents, creating a strong contrast with the black body. The side of the vehicle has exclusive anniversary decals, and the fenders and tailgate both carry 75th Anniversary commemorative badges. When the door welcome lights illuminate, they project "Patrol since 1951" and a dune pattern onto the ground, maxing out the sense of ceremony. The headlights are an all-new split LED setup, while the taillights run horizontally across the rear, preserving the steady feel of a rugged SUV.
The overall interior layout remains unchanged, with the focus on adding a large number of exclusive 75th Anniversary custom details. The seat headrests feature commemorative embroidery, and a dedicated plaque is inlaid on the dashboard in front of the passenger side; the door sills, floor mats, trunk mat, and key cover are all customized with the anniversary theme. The steering wheel gains gold-copper stitching accents, echoing the exterior color scheme. The cabin comes standard with a 28.6-inch integrated dual-screen setup (two 14.3-inch screens), and the rear row is equipped with dual 12.8-inch entertainment screens. The seats use quilted genuine leather, with NASA-inspired bionic spinal support, and the front seats offer heating/ventilation/massage. The interior retains the classic onboard refrigerator, three-zone independent climate control, and adopts a 2+3+3 eight-seat layout, fully sufficient for long-distance overland travel with multiple passengers.
In terms of power, it is equipped with a 3.5T twin-turbo V6 engine derived from GT-R-related technology, with a maximum power of 425 horsepower and peak torque of 700 N·m, matched to a 9AT transmission and paired with Nissan's all-terrain four-wheel-drive system. Compared with the old V8 version, the power is stronger, torque is increased by 25%, and fuel economy is improved by about 24%. This engine features a dedicated oil pump, ensuring stable lubrication even under large-angle off-road tilt conditions, making it more reliable in deserts and on long-distance expeditions. However, without the 5.7L big V8, it always feels like something is missing! The chassis remains body-on-frame, and torsional rigidity is increased by 40% compared with the old model, so the off-road foundation has not been watered down. The suspension uses front and rear double-wishbone independent suspension, with standard adaptive air suspension + intelligent dynamic damping, balancing urban comfort and off-road travel.
