Spied: 2025 Nissan Patrol Nismo spotted ahead of official debut

Photos of the all-new 2025 Nissan Patrol Nismo edition have surfaced on social media, giving us the first look at the high-performance variant of the Y63 Patrol. The images, apparently snapped at a cargo-loading facility, reveal key Nismo styling cues that set it apart from the standard versions.

As expected, the new Patrol Nismo retains familiar elements from its predecessor, including the signature red accents on the front and rear bumpers. However, this time around, it also features a contrasting black-painted roof and side mirrors, hinting at a possible standard colour theme for the Nismo lineup.

While no interior photos have emerged yet, Nissan is likely to give the cabin a sporty treatment similar to the previous model, featuring red stitching, carbon fibre trim, and special badging. The wheels, although not clearly shown, will almost certainly be a unique design exclusive to the Nismo trim, different from what’s offered on the SE and LE variants.

Under the hood, speculation continues about the engine setup. The regular 2025 Nissan Patrol LE trim already uses a new 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6, producing 425 hp and 700 Nm of torque. While some enthusiasts hope for a significant bump in performance, possibly from a more aggressive tune or even a larger turbo setup, we believe Nissan is likely to take a more conservative route. A power output in the region of 450 hp seems plausible, maintaining a balance between performance and long-term reliability.

The official launch of the 2025 Nissan Patrol Nismo is expected sometime in late Q3 or early Q4 of this year. With the top-spec Patrol LE Platinum currently priced at AED 388,900, expect the new Nismo edition to comfortably exceed AED 400,000 when it arrives in UAE, KSA and GCC showrooms.
