Have a sneak peek at the 2020 Nissan Patrol

MANILA: The Nissan Patrol has been one SUV that has ruled the roads around the globe ever since its inception. So much so that the Japanese SUV still doesn't possess any significant blemishes or outdated elements. Hence, the SUV is racking up as many sales as it was a decade ago. Anyway, acknowledging the evolution of the industry and other SUVs that rival the Patrol, Nissan has finally come up with the Patrol in a refreshed avatar.

Much before its official unveiling and global debut, the images of the 2020 Nissan Patrol have started doing rounds over the internet. And guess what? The SUV was spotted nowhere else but in the Middle East, which one of the top-grossing markets for the Patrol. Now let us shift our attention to the leaked images.

The front fascia of the updated Patrol features newly designed C-shaped headlamps instead of the square-ish units on the outgoing model. Moreover, the new headlights flank a larger than ever grille. Other updates on the front include a revamped bumper that incorporates faux air intakes and elements with a brushed chrome impression.

As soon as we look at the image of the rear end, we find that the 2020 Nissan Patrol sports a new pair of wraparound taillights along with a revisited tailgate. Also, the new tailgate now features much more pronounced character lines. Similar to the front end, the bumper at the rear has also experienced the hit of a mallet.

The last thing that we comprehend from the leaked images are the all-new alloys. While there are not any images of the interior of the 2020 Nissan Patrol, we expect the SUV to come with a brand new infotainment system. There should also be a new dashboard and better support for Nissan Intelligent Mobility.

On the mechanical front, the current-generation Nissan Patrol gets its power from a 5.6-litre V8 that makes 400 PS of maximum power and a peak torque of 560 Nm. The same engine is expected to power the 2020 Nissan Patrol as well. It is yet to be seen whether Nissan equips the newest iteration of the SUV with a diesel mill or not. The earliest that we could see the 2020 Nissan Patrol in the flesh could be at the upcoming Dubai International Motor Show, later this year.
