Nissan is relaunching the 3-door version of the Patrol Super Safari — also known as the hard top version — in response to the demands of the Gulf’s 4WD-loving motorists.
This follows the success of the relaunched Patrol Super Safari 5-door earlier this year.
“When we relaunched the Patrol Super Safari station wagon in March it was as a response to the demands of our customers who had both a deep sense of nostalgia for the vehicle and a genuine appetite to see its return,” said Fadi Ghosn, chief marketing officer of Nissan Middle East. “We quickly realized after the relaunch, however, that there was an equal appetite to see the return of the 3-door variant.
As a company, we pride ourselves on our track record of listening and responding to our customers’ feedback. The relaunch of the 3-door Patrol Super Safari is yet another example of that customer focus.”
Nissan said the 3-door Patrol Super Safari is packed with features designed with comfort, practicality, style, and desert performance in mind.
The vehicle features a machine cut, black (43.2cm) wheels framed by grey overfenders and red Super Safari graphics which adorn the vehicle’s flanks. There are two color choices for the body, two-tone combinations of either grey and white or grey and gold, while inside a tan interior is the sole option.
In engine terms, again there is only one choice in the form of Nissan’s proven 4.8L inline six-cylinder DOHC unit, which produces 280 HP and 451 Nm of torque.
The engine is mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) to enhance safety while driving on the highway over long distances at higher speeds.
New driver aids include a navigation system as well as front and rear parking sensors with rear view camera, Bluetooth, USB, CD, auxiliary input socket and FM/AM radio to complete the in-car entertainment offering. The vehicle comes equipped with automatic climate control and a built-in, refrigerated cool box.
