The next-generation Nissan Patrol is teased for the first time

Nissan has launched a teaser campaign for the next-generation Patrol, targeting its major market in the Middle East. Although the teaser website didn't specify the model, phrases like "Iconic model" and a 360-degree view suggest it’s the full-size SUV known as the Nissan Armada in the US. 

The teaser shows the next-gen Patrol retaining its muscular hood and boxy body with a slightly sloping roofline. The launch is set for September 4, and more details will be revealed weekly. The first teaser highlights the V-Motion grille, featuring a meshed design and twin horizontal chrome strips.

The new Patrol/Armada is expected to drop the V8 engine in favor of a twin-turbo V6, similar to the engine in the Nissan GT-R. This update will likely include a size increase and an interior redesign to enhance user-friendliness. 

Nissan aims to make the new Patrol/Armada more "Range Rover-like," suggesting a more upscale appearance and a luxurious cabin to compete in the full-size SUV market. Despite these upgrades, it is hoped that the Armada will remain as affordable and rugged as the outgoing model, maintaining its heritage and appeal.
