    2020 Nissan Patrol Debuts in the Middle East

      ...Not in the US for 2020, but soon...

    Nissan has debuted the 2020 Nissan Patrol for the Middle East. We had gotten a preview when the Nissan Patrol leaked out on Facebook a few weeks ago. 

    The Nissan Patrol is known as the Nissan Armada in the U.S., however we will not get this update until at least the 2021 model year as the 2020 Armadas are already on dealer lots. 

    Overall, the Patrol's formula remains the same, a chiseled, upright SUV with a posh interior and real off-road chops.  It takes on the company's V-Motion grille with a broad flat bottom.  It's flanked by C-shaped LED running lamps.  At the rear, there are fewer changes, though Nissan did install new tail-lamps with  sequential turn signals.  The interior has moved even more upscale with available diamond-stitched quilted leather seats. The infotainment system has been upgraded with support for Android Auto and Apple Car Play.  Nissan says that the interior will also be noticeably quieter.

    In the Middle East, the standard engine is a 4.0 liter V6 producing 275 horsepower and 291 lb.-ft of torque or customers can upgrade to the 5.6 liter V8 with 400 horsepower and 413 lb.-ft of torque.  In the US, only the 5.6 liter V8 is available with 390 horsepower and 394 lb.-ft of torque. Customers who chose the V8 will also get to choose Nissan's Hydraulic Body Motion Control adaptive suspension system.

    No official word on when the Patrol updates will make it to the Armada in the U.S., but we expect to see something for 2021. Middle East buyers can pick one up by the end of this month.

    ? Soooooooooooooooooo

    Wonder why the US gets less HP / Torque? Emissions?

    Wonder how hard it would be to get the tune for the middle east or now thinking on this probably could get a better tune from a 3rd party chip company.

    I agree with @Potluck This is much better looking than the current version.

    @Drew Dowdell Was there not a very dark tease image of the next Titan that looks like this?

    Probably because the related Infiniti QX80 gets the 400hp V8.   Keep a little exclusivity for the premium brand..

    Makes sense, so then if the charge is not crazy, a Nissan Armada owner could buy the updated flash and bring their Armada to a QX80 level of performance. I like that, sleeper level.

    I can't imagine there being anyone actually caring enough to do that..it's just a lease appliance. And 10 hp/19 ft-lbs isn't that much of a difference.

    I've driven these. I can't imagine anyone is going to miss the 10 horsepower.

    • The market for all coupes is stale. But this has outsold the Miata some months 
    • So as I mentioned in my Has it really been 25 years? post, I have an app I've been building.  It's called Apartmatic.  It is occupant first property management software.  What does that mean? Most property management software is geared to landlords and property managers that manage several to many units.  This software can do that of course, but what it also does is lets occupants manage their home maintenance, warranties for things they've purchased, keep receipts and other important documentation, keep track of repairs, and more.  You can scan the serial number barcode of your fridge into the software and it will look up the make and model for you AND look up parts like water filters, seals, shelves, handles and more.  It will give you the default manufacturer's recommended service interval for maintenance parts like filters, cleanouts, and more.  It will remind you when it's time to order parts and send you links to shopping sites that have them in stock.   You can use it to maintain ANYTHING in your home.  Have a slate roof? Those need service every so many years. Enter your favorite roofer's information in and it will give you a reminder and ask when you want to send the e-mail to schedule the service.  You can enter all your service vendors in.  Same goes for insurance. Track your insurance plans, extended warranties, keep an inventory of major purchases, have scans of the receipts, all stored in the app in case something happens. If you're a property manager, even more things become automatic. It can use prediction to warn you of when an appliance is nearing end of life.  It can automatically route issues to preferred vendors.  You can put jobs out to multiple vendors for bid and so much more. There is an entire listing to leasing to move-in workflow. Full payment and financial system, tax reporting, P&L reporting, unit turnover automation, and more. I've been building this thing from scratch, out of spite and frustration. No investors, just me being stubborn. If you want to help me out, sign up for the beta at https://www.apartmatic.com/beta and I'll send you the invite link as soon as it's open. It's free and always will be at the Home level. I don't need "looks great!", I need "this is confusing" and "why can't I do X" and "I clicked this and it broke."
