2025 Nissan Patrol Y63 Is Here: GCC Prices & Key Facts

The wait is over. The 2025 Nissan Patrol Y63 has officially arrived in GCC showrooms as of November 2024, marking the most significant generational leap for the Patrol nameplate in over a decade. Orders are open now, deliveries have commenced, and — most controversially — the legendary V8 engine is gone.

Here's everything you need to know about pricing, specs, and what's changed.

The Biggest News: No More V8 Engine

Let's address the elephant in the room. Nissan has dropped the iconic 5.6-litre V8 from the 2025 Nissan Patrol lineup, replacing it with a 3.5-litre twin-turbocharged V6. Before you close this tab, hear the numbers out.

The new twin-turbo V6 produces 425 hp and 700 Nm of torque — that's 7% more power and a massive 25% more torque than the outgoing V8 it replaces. And it does all of that while being significantly more fuel-efficient.

Here's the thing: on paper, this engine is objectively superior. The torque figure alone tells the story — 700 Nm is the kind of number you'd expect from a diesel pickup truck, not a family SUV.

2025 Nissan Patrol Y63 Engine Options

The Y63 Patrol arrives in the GCC with two powertrain choices:

• 3.5-litre V6 Twin-Turbo — 425 hp / 700 Nm of torque (replaces the 5.6L V8)
• 3.8-litre V6 Naturally Aspirated — 316 hp / 386 Nm of torque (replaces the 4.0L V6)

Both engines are paired with a brand-new 9-speed automatic gearbox, a significant upgrade over the outgoing 7-speed unit. Expect smoother highway cruising and better response in the city — something GCC drivers navigating daily stop-and-go traffic will appreciate.

How Much Does the 2025 Nissan Patrol Cost in the GCC?

Pricing for the 2025 Nissan Patrol Y63 in the UAE starts at AED 239,900 for the entry-level XE trim, climbing all the way to AED 394,900 for the range-topping LE Platinum City.

In Saudi Arabia, the Patrol Y63 starts at SAR 266,999 (inclusive of VAT).

Here's a quick breakdown of UAE pricing by trim:

• XE — From AED 239,900
• LE Platinum City (top spec) — AED 394,900

Technology: A 28.6-Inch Monolith Display

But that's not all. The interior of the Y63 is a complete reinvention. The headline feature is the 28.6-inch dual Monolith display — a sweeping curved screen setup that dominates the dashboard and integrates both the driver's instrument cluster and the infotainment system.

The infotainment runs Google Built-in, meaning native Google Maps, Google Assistant, and access to the Play Store are all standard. This is a feature GCC buyers have been requesting for years.

Other standout interior tech includes:

• Biometric Cooling technology — the seat fans and air conditioning adapt based on occupant body temperature
• Adaptive Air Suspension — available on higher trims for a smoother ride over varying surfaces
• Redesigned three-row cabin with premium materials throughout

Off-Road Capability of the 2025 Patrol Y63

The Patrol's legendary desert credentials haven't been sacrificed in the pursuit of tech and power. The Y63 features a new 4WD transfer case and 6 selectable drive modes, covering everything from sand dunes to rocky terrain.

This is still a full-body-on-frame SUV built for the GCC landscape. Whether you're heading to the Rub' al Khali or just want the confidence of serious off-road hardware, the Patrol Y63 delivers. And if you want the ultimate off-road variant, keep an eye on the 2026 Nissan Patrol PRO-4X which is expected to follow.

Where to Buy the 2025 Nissan Patrol in the UAE and KSA?

The 2025 Nissan Patrol Y63 is available now through the following authorised Nissan dealers across the region:

• Al Masaood — Abu Dhabi, UAE
• Arabian Automobiles — Dubai & Northern Emirates, UAE
• Petromin Nissan — Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Deliveries commenced in November 2024. Given the enormous anticipation for this model, early order slots are expected to fill quickly.

What About the Nismo Version?

Nissan hasn't confirmed full details yet, but enthusiasts will want to watch this space — the high-performance 2026 Nissan Patrol Nismo is also on the horizon, likely packing an even hotter tune of that twin-turbo V6. If the standard 425 hp isn't enough, the Nismo could be a very interesting proposition.

The Verdict: A New Era for the GCC's Favourite SUV

The 2025 Nissan Patrol Y63 is a bold, confident reinvention of an icon. Ditching the V8 was a risk, but the numbers back up the decision — more power, more torque, and better efficiency. Combine that with a genuinely impressive technology suite and a starting price of AED 239,900 in the UAE, and Nissan has made a strong case that the Patrol's reign at the top of the GCC SUV market is far from over.

Orders are open. The showrooms are ready. The Y63 era begins now.
