Nissan Patrol Super Safari review: the best of both worlds

Off-road or on the motorway, the 2022 model of the region’s legendary suv is here to conquer everything in its path.

The 2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari costs from Dh153,000. All photos: Nissan

Since its resurrection in 2017, the Nissan Patrol Super Safari has continued to dominate as the region’s favourite off-road vehicle. The Japanese manufacturer bowed to popular demand and brought the wilder Nissan Patrol back into production, and tweaked and tuned every new version for the better.

The 2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari follows the trend. For starters, it sits slightly higher than its predecessors. This not only gives you a better view of what’s ahead, but also creates more clearance underneath the car to comfortably deal with extremely uneven terrain. Or an extra-large speed bump.

Engine: 6-cylinder, 4.8-litre Transmission: 5-speed automatic and manual Power: 280 brake horsepower Torque: 451Nm Price: from Dh153,00 On sale: now

Nissan has also introduced cruise control, anti-lock brakes, smart tyre-pressure monitoring and a number of other driving aids that make for a more comfortable ride. It’s now available in either a 5-speed manual or automatic gearbox. The result is that the 2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari feels more at home than ever when you’re driving it on asphalt. We were fairly surprised just how smooth the drive was and the silence in the cabin as the 4.8-litre, 280bhp V6 engine roared away was impressive.

Now, if you just read that paragraph above and are worried that the Super Safari has been declawed, fear not — it’s equally as fun off the road as it is on it. There’s not much (if anything) that the robust suspension and new telescopic shock absorbers can’t handle. You feel more in control than ever thanks to the intelligent system that manages engine speed when under or oversteering. When we took it for a gentle spin off-road it instantly felt safely at home. The temptation to plant our foot and bounce over every hill in sight was palpable. This one lives for rough terrain.

Nissan has been very clever with its 2022 Patrol Super Safari. While improving the driving experience for thrill-seekers it has introduced the safety and comfort features found in the more luxurious Nissan Patrol, which will appeal to drivers. You can choose between cloth, leather or PVC upholstery for inside the cavernous cabin, with each seat providing comfy and ample space. And we love the straightforward nature of the Bluetooth connection that hooks your phone up to the in-car entertainment system easily.

Yes, it’s more of an everyday SUV now. You can use it for doing the school run, transporting friends and family or nipping out to do the grocery shopping. But it’s also ready to be loaded up with camping equipment, shovels and recovery sand boards at a moment’s notice for an off-road adventure.

Nissan’s evolution of the Super Safari has so far been well balanced. And this 2022 version delivers its most complete version yet. There’s no need to rip up the rule book when it comes to improvements, and by focusing on functionality and interior comfort upgrades, the Super Safari will live on for a long time.

Auto Review: 2024 Nissan Patrol Super Safari Al Ostoura Edition

• Share on Facebook
• Tweet on Twitter

First off, Nissan have gotten the looks right by adhering to the saying,“If ain't broke, don't fix it”. This is a high–riding SUV with a two-box profile with softened edges – a true recall of the vehicles of 00s. It looks like it belongs in the desert, as all SUVs should, and even after decades, its proportions have remained graceful. And thanks to some tasteful mods, an even sportier outlook has been rendered. Some of those modifications include the dual-tone paintjob (with the contrasting roof and fenders), body stripes, 17-inch alloys and a neat rear spoiler. The Patrol SS is what I'd call a museum piece that is road legal...and I love it for that.

The cabin has also been mostly untouched, looking decidedly near-vintage with large plastic parts and trims that aren't necessarily congruous with the overall design, which is a sign of the times in which it was conceived. It has an old-school four-spoke steering wheel with a printed wood finish and a retrofitted eight-inch infotainment system that sticks out like a sore thumb. It's even got that physical handbrake and analogue instrumentation one would desire. And finally, the tan leather seats add great visual appeal besides being comfy. Overall, the insides have aged, but it's charming. Spatially, it satisfies comfort requirements with a good seating posture for all occupants and a usable third row making it a fully functional family vehicle.

The old school ride runs on old-school power. It still comes powered by the famed 4.8-litre inline 6-cylinder engine featuring Valve Timing Control (where it gets the VTC name from). Peak output is rated at a seemingly healthy 280 horsepower, and 451 Nm of torque, which is then multiplied by the 5-speed automatic.

When it comes to propulsion, the harsh truth is that this Patrol is among the slowest vehicles we have ever tested, with the ticker just hitting 100 km/h in about 11 seconds. There is some power higher up the revs, but that even that is short-lived. Then there is the electronic power steering that feels like you're steering a ship. It feels disconnected and cumbersome to operate. Trust me, you don't want to do three-point turns in this one. On the flip side, this body-on-frame SUV has got a decent ride, and the ventilated disc brakes are strong enough to shred a decent amount of speed in decent time.

Even with these handicaps, the asthmatic power delivery and vague steering, there is something about the way it moves that makes you feel like it won't stop for anything. Plonk it off road and it will continue to plough through that sand till it gets you out and“Why wouldn't it?”. The ground clearance is good. The approach and departure angles commendable at 37 and 31 degrees, front and back, and then there's that reliable 4x4 system that comes with low ratio gearing and a rear differential lock. Any doubts? Ask the many who have purchased the Super Safari and live their lives on the dunes. That lack of emphatic power though has me doubting its capabilities of climbing extreme inclines like Big Red. But with a little help from tuner friends the Patrol SS promises to take you places that are Instagram worthy. An electric-powered winch is also present for those not-so IG worthy moments and a rear pintle hook for towing disabled vehicles.

Keep in mind that being a large vehicle with ageing mechanicals (without a sixth gear), this is a gas guzzler by default. On average it returned a dismal 16l/100km. The five-door variant does have a sub tank adding another 40 litres to the 95-litre capacity to help with range though.

Nissan have retrofitted some features, so that you don't feel like you're riding Fred Flintstone's car. A wireless charger is present, but my tablet-sized Samsung S23 Ultra wouldn't fit and hence, I couldn't get it charged. There aren't any USB ports either, but it does come with Apple CarPlay. They've also equipped it with a rear camera, but the view is small and washed-out. I'd rather turn my head around and rely on the parking sensors instead. It also comes with other necessities like cruise control, a tire pressure monitoring system, dual airbags, etc. Thankfully, being a Nissan, the cooling from the automatic climate control is good and you'd be more appreciative of it as the summer sun peaks.

At the end of the day, when you have it parked in your garage and you walk away, you're sure to turn back and have a look at the Patrol Super Safari. It has that undeniable novelty factor that one simply cannot ignore. It looks proper old school, all raw and rugged, and is ready to go places out of reach otherwise. It also has a usable third row, and a comfortable ride which makes for a practical family vehicle. But I also see it as a lost opportunity. Nissan hasn't done enough. If they could just fix the basics i.e. the power steering, the engine and the rear camera, to begin with, I reckon it can easily outsell many of the contemporary crossover SUVs for the next decade or so. Sadly, this is the last year of production before the Y61 Super Safari is eternally vanquished.

Good: Charming and rugged old-school looks, off-road ability; family functionality; street cred

Bad: Underpowered; cumbersome steering; dismal fuel economy; low-quality rear camera view

Bachir Gemayel, Sales and Marketing Director, Al Masaood Automobiles argues that the 2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari is a step ahead of other SUVs

The exceptional design, impressive technologies and vibrant performance of the 2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari are a perfect blend that works in sync to deliver a pleasurable overall driving experience to its owners. This drives the popularity of the Nissan Super Safari model further upwards, consistently winning the hearts of many car enthusiasts in the UAE who are in search of new off-roading adventures.

As a reflection of its growing popularity, Al Masaood Automobiles, the official distributor of Nissan in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and the Western Region, witnessed a 30 per cent sales increase in the Patrol Super Safari during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021. A large 90 per cent of its buyers were male customers whilst 10 per cent were female as reported by the company.

The 2022 Nissan Patrol Safari continues the rich heritage of the Nissan brand in the region and showcases the Patrol’s undisputed standing in the UAE’s automotive culture. It comes as no surprise that a growing number of women drivers are gravitating towards this model, as they, like their male counterparts, invest more in and value its class-leading power.

The 2022 Nissan Patrol Safari picks up where the previous models had left off. It builds on the SUV’s immense popularity amongst car owners in the UAE and the region who are after powerful vehicle performance designed for off-roading adventures.

The Nissan Patrol Super Safari 2022 offers enhanced performance supported by a 4.8-litre in-line six-cylinder engine, which can produce 280 horsepower and 451 Nm of torque. Equipped with VTC and NICS, the Patrol Super Safari, which is available in a 5-speed automatic or manual transmission, delivers exceptional off-road performance and impressive top speed on the highway.

Equipped with many capabilities and aesthetic features, it boasts a unique exterior and interior design for a memorable driving experience. Staying true to the Nissan identity, it incorporates features that combine strength, stability, control and robust performance even on rough terrains.

The Nissan Patrol Super Safari 2022 is available across Al Masaood Automobiles showrooms in Abu Dhabi in colours black, white and gold, with a unique choice of grey or gold accents across the roof, bumpers, wheel arches and spare tyre cover. In addition, the striking `Super Safari’ decal can be seen along the side of the car, complemented by a set of 17-inch diamond cut alloy wheels.

Customers mainly gravitated towards the black and twilight grey colour combination in 2021– accounting for 49 per cent of the Nissan Patrol Super Safari sales during the period. However, the radiance of the white hue proved to be a great driver of customer demand in 2022. During the first quarter of this year, the white Patrol Super Safari units constituted 52 per cent of the total sales.

As for its interior, the new model sports luxurious leather seats with a special Super Safari emboss that adds a unique touch to the model’s overall appeal. It also includes a display audio system with smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and a wireless charger for added comfort and convenience. Its advanced technologies are amongst the highlights of the Patrol Super Safari, reflecting Nissan’s commitment to building vehicles with outstanding features that can level up the overall experience of its customers whilst on the road.

The Super Safari 2022 offers a host of Nissan safety features, including cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring system, ABS, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) system that prevents understeer when entering or exiting a corner, and dual-front SRS airbags that reflect Nissan’s attention to the smallest details of security and safety in its models.

Providing the right features and technologies to instill confidence and guarantee reliability and stability at various road conditions, the 2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari is without a doubt a step ahead of other SUVs in its segment.

Like a blast from the past, from a time when sport utility vehicles (SUVs) were the most valuable players (MVPs) and the market wasn’t crowded with crossovers, comes the Nissan Patrol Super Safari. The Super Safari, often referred to as the "VTC", is based on the 5th generation Y61 Nissan Patrol produced from 1997 to 2010. The enduring customer demand in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries brought about its revival in 2016 and it has been in production ever since. We got the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the ‘Al Ostoura’ edition, which translates to ‘The Legend’ in Arabic, a GCC-exclusive variant that pays homage to this legendary vehicle and here are our thoughts…

First off, Nissan have gotten the looks right by adhering to the saying, “If ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. This is a high–riding SUV with a two-box profile with softened edges – a true recall of the vehicles of 00s. It looks like it belongs in the desert, as all SUVs should, and even after decades, its proportions have remained graceful. And thanks to some tasteful mods, an even sportier outlook has been rendered. Some of those modifications include the dual-tone paintjob (with the contrasting roof and fenders), body stripes, 17-inch alloys and a neat rear spoiler. The Patrol SS is what I’d call a museum piece that is road legal…and I love it for that.

Old-school vibe

The cabin has also been mostly untouched, looking decidedly near-vintage with large plastic parts and trims that aren’t necessarily congruous with the overall design, which is a sign of the times in which it was conceived. It has an old-school four-spoke steering wheel with a printed wood finish and a retrofitted eight-inch infotainment system that sticks out like a sore thumb. It’s even got that physical handbrake and analogue instrumentation one would desire. And finally, the tan leather seats add great visual appeal besides being comfy. Overall, the insides have aged, but it’s charming. Spatially, it satisfies comfort requirements with a good seating posture for all occupants and a usable third row making it a fully functional family vehicle.

The old school ride runs on old-school power. It still comes powered by the famed 4.8-litre inline 6-cylinder engine featuring Valve Timing Control (where it gets the VTC name from). Peak output is rated at a seemingly healthy 280 horsepower, and 451 Nm of torque, which is then multiplied by the 5-speed automatic.

Slow starter

When it comes to propulsion, the harsh truth is that this Patrol is among the slowest vehicles we have ever tested, with the ticker just hitting 100 km/h in about 11 seconds. There is some power higher up the revs, but that even that is short-lived. Then there is the electronic power steering that feels like you’re steering a ship. It feels disconnected and cumbersome to operate. Trust me, you don’t want to do three-point turns in this one. On the flip side, this body-on-frame SUV has got a decent ride, and the ventilated disc brakes are strong enough to shred a decent amount of speed in decent time.

Even with these handicaps, the asthmatic power delivery and vague steering, there is something about the way it moves that makes you feel like it won’t stop for anything. Plonk it off road and it will continue to plough through that sand till it gets you out and “Why wouldn’t it?”. The ground clearance is good. The approach and departure angles commendable at 37 and 31 degrees, front and back, and then there’s that reliable 4x4 system that comes with low ratio gearing and a rear differential lock. Any doubts? Ask the many who have purchased the Super Safari and live their lives on the dunes. That lack of emphatic power though has me doubting its capabilities of climbing extreme inclines like Big Red. But with a little help from tuner friends the Patrol SS promises to take you places that are Instagram worthy. An electric-powered winch is also present for those not-so IG worthy moments and a rear pintle hook for towing disabled vehicles.

Keep in mind that being a large vehicle with ageing mechanicals (without a sixth gear), this is a gas guzzler by default. On average it returned a dismal 16l/100km. The five-door variant does have a sub tank adding another 40 litres to the 95-litre capacity to help with range though.

The summer test

Nissan have retrofitted some features, so that you don’t feel like you’re riding Fred Flintstone’s car. A wireless charger is present, but my tablet-sized Samsung S23 Ultra wouldn’t fit and hence, I couldn’t get it charged. There aren’t any USB ports either, but it does come with Apple CarPlay. They’ve also equipped it with a rear camera, but the view is small and washed-out. I’d rather turn my head around and rely on the parking sensors instead. It also comes with other necessities like cruise control, a tire pressure monitoring system, dual airbags, etc. Thankfully, being a Nissan, the cooling from the automatic climate control is good and you’d be more appreciative of it as the summer sun peaks.

At the end of the day, when you have it parked in your garage and you walk away, you’re sure to turn back and have a look at the Patrol Super Safari. It has that undeniable novelty factor that one simply cannot ignore. It looks proper old school, all raw and rugged, and is ready to go places out of reach otherwise. It also has a usable third row, and a comfortable ride which makes for a practical family vehicle. But I also see it as a lost opportunity. Nissan hasn’t done enough. If they could just fix the basics i.e. the power steering, the engine and the rear camera, to begin with, I reckon it can easily outsell many of the contemporary crossover SUVs for the next decade or so. Sadly, this is the last year of production before the Y61 Super Safari is eternally vanquished.

Good: Charming and rugged old-school looks, off-road ability; family functionality; street cred

Bad: Underpowered; cumbersome steering; dismal fuel economy; low-quality rear camera view
