\nMakoto Uchida said: \u201cThe Patrol is the longest uninterrupted product line in Nissan\u2019s history. Thanks to the passion and effort of our teams at Nissan over many decades, it has consistently maintained its off-road heritage while integrating refinement and innovation. The Middle East has always been a market where the Nissan Patrol has a deep emotional connection, and so it is only fitting that we chose this region for the global debut of the seventh-generation model.
