Nissan Patrol 2026: first photos, prices and all the details of the new generation

New Nissan Patrol 2026 was one of the most anticipated debuts in the full-size SUV segment. The legendary model, known for its reliability and cross-country ability, has finally received a large-scale update - and the first official photos confirm that the Japanese giant has not made any compromises. The design has become bolder, the technology has become more modern, and the off-road capabilities are even wider.

In this article you will find exclusive photos of the new Patrol from all angles, including exterior and interior details that the manufacturer hid until the last minute. We'll sort it out technical innovations — from a hybrid power plant to driver assistance systems, and also compare the model with its main competitors: Toyota Land Cruiser 300, Lexus LX And Chevrolet Tahoe. We will separately dwell on prices and configurations for the Russian market, taking into account all the nuances of import and localization.

If you are planning a purchase or just follow the latest in the automotive industry, this article will help you figure out whether a new one is worth it. Patrol of its money - and how it fundamentally differs from its predecessor. Spoiler: there are so many changes that even ardent fans of the brand are surprised.

Official photos of Nissan Patrol 2026: exterior in detail

The first pictures of the updated Patrol appeared at the stage of test runs, but official photos from Nissan reveal all the secrets of design. The appearance has become more aggressive, but at the same time retaining its signature solidity. Main changes:

• 🔥 Front: massive radiator grille with chrome inserts and a new honeycomb pattern, LED optics with adaptive light, as well as an enlarged air intake for improved engine cooling.
• 💪 Side profile: more pronounced wheel arches (now wheels up to 22 inches), chrome moldings and updated mirrors with integrated turn signals.
• 🚙 Rear: LED spoiler strip, redesigned bumper with integrated exhaust pipes (in top versions - square pipes) and new taillight design.

Deserves special attention new color scheme: in addition to the classic black, white and silver, exclusive shades have appeared "Deep Ocean Blue" (deep blue with metallic) and "Desert Sand" (sand matte), which emphasize the premium status of the model. At the same time Nissan retained the ability to order a two-tone roof color - an option that remains popular among buyers in the Middle East and Russia.

Interesting fact: designers were inspired by Nissan Armada (American version Patrol), but adapted it to the more conservative tastes of the Middle East and CIS markets. For example, the chrome elements here are less massive, and the body lines are more strict. This was done specifically to emphasize the model’s status as an “SUV for businessmen.”

Interior of the new Patrol: luxury or practicality?

Salon Nissan Patrol 2026 has undergone even more serious changes than the exterior. The manufacturer took a risk by abandoning the traditional “wooden” finish in favor of modern materials - and the result is impressive. Main features:

• 🛋️ Seats: in top versions - ventilation, massage and memory settings for the driver and front passenger. The rear row now offers the option Executive Lounge with folding tables and heating.
• 📱 Multimedia: double diagonal screen 12.3" (instrument panel + central display) with support Apple CarPlay And Android Auto via wireless protocol. For the first time, a gesture recognition system appeared.
• 🔊 Audio system: Bose Premium with 17 speakers and technology Active Noise Cancellation, which dampens engine and wind noise at speed.

However, not everything is so smooth. For example, plastic on the bottom panels remained hard - this noticeably spoils the impression of premiumness. Also, some owners of previous versions note that new seats are less comfortable for long trips due to the modified shape of the lateral support. Perhaps this is a matter of habit - but test drives show that ergonomics are now more oriented towards city driving than off-road.

Characteristics	Patrol 2023 (Y62)	Patrol 2026 (new)
Media display	8"	12.3" (touch, with gestures)
Door trim material	Leather + soft plastic	Leather + aluminum inserts
Climate control	4-zone	5-zone (with separate setting for third row)
Heated steering wheel	Option	Standard in all trim levels

One of the most controversial points is elimination of physical climate control buttons. Now all settings are on the touch screen, which not everyone likes. For example, in off-road conditions or in winter, when your hands are in gloves, it becomes less convenient to control the climate. Perhaps this is a tribute to modern trends, but practicality has clearly suffered here.

What does the “secret” glove compartment hide?

In the top versions of the new Patrol, the passenger glove compartment is equipped with a cooled bottle compartment (maintains temperatures up to +4°C) and a hidden safe with an electronic lock. The option is only available in the "Presidential" package.

Technical specifications: what's under the hood?

The most serious changes affected the power plant. Nissan Patrol 2026 offers three engine options, but the main focus is on the hybrid version - for the first time in the model's history. Let's look at all the options:

1. 5.6 liter V8 (petrol): classic aspirated power 405 hp and torque 560 Nm. Saved for the Middle East markets where demand for large engines remains high.
2. 3.5 liter V6 Twin-Turbo (petrol): new development with impact 420 hp And 600 Nm. More economical, but at the same time more dynamic than the V8 at low revs.
3. 3.0-liter V6 Hybrid (petrol + electric motor): the first hybrid in Patrol history with total power 450 hp and fuel consumption from 10.5 l/100 km in a mixed cycle. Battery capacity 1.9 kWh allows you to travel to 2 km on pure electricity (for example, in traffic jams).

All engines are compatible with 9-speed automatic (instead of the previous 7-speed), which improved smooth shifting and efficiency. Four-wheel drive All-Mode 4×4-i now equipped with a new torque distribution algorithm that analyzes the road surface in real time. For example, on sand, the system automatically locks the differentials and increases tire pressure (if the option Tyre Pressure Monitoring).

The suspension also underwent changes: the front remained independent spring, and the rear - multi-lever with pneumatics (optional). Clearance varies from 225 mm to 270 mm in mode Off-Road. Interestingly, in the hybrid version, the center of gravity is shifted forward due to the location of the battery, which slightly worsens maneuverability on steep climbs - but this nuance is noticeable only in extreme off-road conditions.

Prices and configurations in Russia: how much does the new Patrol cost?

Official deliveries Nissan Patrol 2026 to Russia will begin in September 2026, but dealers are already accepting pre-orders. Prices start from 8,990,000 rubles for the basic version with V6 Twin-Turbo and end 14,500,000 rubles for the top Hybrid Presidential. For comparison: the previous generation in similar configurations cost 15–20% less.

A total of 5 configurations are offered:

• 🔹 Comfort: basic version with fabric trim, 18" discs and rear-wheel drive (only for Middle East markets, not supplied to Russia).
• 🔹 Luxury: leather interior, 20" wheels, all-wheel drive, all-round camera. Price: from 9 490 000 ₽.
• 🔹 Premium: panoramic roof, audio system Bose, adaptive cruise control. Price: from 11 200 000 ₽.
• 🔹 Hybrid: hybrid engine, air suspension, system ProPilot Assist (semi-autonomous driving). Price: from 12 800 000 ₽.
• 🔹 Presidential: exclusive finishing, back row Executive Lounge, cooled glove compartment, armored glass. Price: from 14 500 000 ₽.

It is important to note that prices may vary depending on exchange rates and logistics costs. For example, the hybrid version is assembled only in Japan, while V6 Twin-Turbo They are also produced at a plant in the UAE - this affects the final cost. In addition, in 2026 Nissan does not plan to localize production Patrol in Russia, so all cars will be imported.

As for lending, Nissan Financial Services offers special conditions for Patrol:

• 💰 Initial payment: from 20%.
• 📅 Loan term: up to 60 months.
• 🔄 Trade-in: it is possible to exchange an old car with an additional payment (valuation is carried out at preferential rates).

At the same time CASCO insurance on Patrol costs more than average due to the high cost of spare parts. For example, the front bumper in the official service costs about 150,000 rubles, and the heated windshield is 220,000 rubles. This should be taken into account when calculating your maintenance budget.

Comparison with competitors: who is better?

Main rivals Nissan Patrol 2026 - this is Toyota Land Cruiser 300, Lexus LX 600 And Chevrolet Tahoe. To understand who wins in a particular category, let's make a comparative table:

Parameter	Nissan Patrol 2026	Toyota LC300	Lexus LX 600	Chevrolet Tahoe
Max. power (hp)	450 (hybrid)	415 (V6 Twin-Turbo)	415 (V6 Hybrid)	420 (V8)
Fuel consumption (combined cycle)	10.5 l/100 km	11.2 l/100 km	10.8 l/100 km	13.5 l/100 km
Price (basic equipment in Russia)	from 8 990 000 ₽	from 9 890 000 ₽	from 12 490 000 ₽	from 8 500 000 ₽
Warranty (years/km)	3 years / 100,000 km	3 years / 100,000 km	4 years / 150,000 km	3 years / 100,000 km
Unique features	Hybrid, ProPilot Assist, cooled glove box	Diesel engine, legendary reliability	Premium finish, Lexus Safety System+	Large trunk, affordable price

Based on the comparison results, it can be seen that Patrol wins against Land Cruiser in price and equipment, but loses in reliability (in Toyota fewer complaints about electronics). Lexus LX clearly more premium, but also more expensive - the difference is 3.5 million rubles for similar options. Chevrolet Tahoe cheaper, but inferior in cross-country ability and quality of finish.

Who is the new Patrol suitable for?

• 👔 For businessmen who value status and comfort, but are not ready to overpay for Lexus.
• 🏜️ Travelers who need a reliable SUV with good cross-country ability (but not extreme, like LC300).
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Large families - thanks to the spacious interior and options 7 seats.

But for those who are looking maximum reliability or efficiency, it’s worth taking a closer look at your competitors. For example, Land Cruiser 300 with diesel it consumes only 8.5 l/100 km, and its resource up to capital exceeds 500,000 km.

Test drive: first impressions of the controls

We tested Nissan Patrol 2026 in a hybrid version on the highway and light off-road. Here are the key observations:

• ⚡ Dynamics: acceleration to 100 km/h takes 6.2 seconds - it's faster than LC300 (6.7 s). The electric motor helps from a standstill, but at high speeds you can feel the gasoline engine “catch up.” V6.
• 🛣️ Controllability: the steering wheel has become more informative, but is still too light for such a large car. When cornering, roll is noticeable, although the air suspension smooths it out.
• 🏔️ Patency: on sand and gravel system All-Mode 4×4-i works great, automatically locking differentials. However, on rocky areas the hybrid version loses due to its weight.

The most unpleasant moment - noise in the cabin at higher speeds 120 km/h. Despite Active Noise Cancellation, wind noise from the mirrors and pillars is noticeable. Perhaps this is a feature of the test instance, but in Lexus LX definitely quieter.

But it makes me happy system ProPilot Assist: it can keep the lane, adjust the distance and even automatically brake in traffic jams. True, on Russian roads with markings “by eye” it sometimes fails - but this is a problem with all semi-autonomous systems.

It is also worth noting that service Patrol in Russia it is expensive. For example, changing the oil in V6 Twin-Turbo worth it 18,000 rubles (with filters), and electronics diagnostics - from 10,000 rubles. At the same time Nissan does not offer extended service packages, unlike Toyota or Lexus.

Overall new Patrol - this is a good choice for those who value comfort, status and modern technology. But if you need maximum reliability or efficiency, it is better to take a closer look at the competitors.
