Nissan Patrol 2019

2019

The 2019 Nissan Patrol Base refers, in the Middle Eastern range, to the entry-level XE version of the Y62 full-size SUV. It combines a 4.0-liter petrol V6 with a seven-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. With three rows of seating and a separate chassis, the Patrol emphasizes cabin space, durability and off-road ability rather than compact dimensions or fuel economy. The 2019 model belongs to a generation introduced in 2010 and updated several times during its life cycle. Its role in the range is distinctive: the base model retains the Patrol’s imposing proportions and core capability while omitting much of the comfort and technology equipment associated with higher trims. Exact equipment could vary by Gulf-market distributor and specification year.

History

The Patrol traces its origins to the Nissan 4W60, introduced in Japan in 1951 as a utility-focused four-wheel-drive vehicle. Nissan’s second-generation 60 Series later helped establish the nameplate’s international reputation. The model reached the Middle East in 1957 and arrived in Australia in 1961 as the Datsun Patrol G60. The Y62 generation, introduced in 2010, represented a major shift in character. It retained a separate chassis and genuine off-road intent, but added a much more luxurious cabin and a stronger emphasis on long-distance road use. By 2019, the Patrol was still a sixth-generation model, sold across Gulf markets with several trim levels and two principal petrol engines. The Base designation used here corresponds to the entry-level XE version of the 4.0-liter range. Market equipment and trim names were not necessarily identical across every Middle Eastern distributor.

Anecdotes

Nissan links the Patrol name with several early off-road achievements. The company says a Patrol was the first vehicle to climb Mount Fuji, while Nissan Australia records that a Datsun Patrol G60 crossed Australia’s Simpson Desert in 1962. These stories belong to earlier generations rather than directly to the 2019 Y62, but they help explain why the Patrol name remains closely associated with endurance, desert travel and remote terrain.

Production

No reliable global production figure specifically covering the 2019 Nissan Patrol Base has been identified in the consulted sources. Nissan does document Japanese production of the Y62 Patrol and states that 2020-model production began in July 2019 at the Nissan Shatai plant, ahead of the Middle Eastern launch on September 25, 2019. This confirms manufacturing continuity between model years, but it does not establish how many XE vehicles were built during 2019. Production totals by trim, country or engine are therefore omitted. Published UAE launch pricing indicates the XE’s market position only; it should not be interpreted as evidence of production volume. Registration year, model year and build date may also differ for individual vehicles sold across Gulf markets.

Press reception

Press coverage of the Y62 Patrol commonly highlighted its spacious cabin, comfortable seating and ability to carry large families, while also pointing to its substantial size and comparatively traditional interior. Top Gear characterized it as a genuine separate-chassis off-roader that was comfortable on the road but heavier and more old-fashioned to drive than newer unibody SUVs. A UAE article published in late 2018 about the 2019 model likewise emphasized the Patrol’s roomy interior and desert capability while acknowledging the conventional dashboard design. These comments describe the broader Y62 family rather than every individual XE vehicle. Equipment, tires and driving impressions could vary according to trim, market specification and optional equipment.

Evolution

The 2019 model year was not a new Patrol generation. It was an evolution of the established Y62, with the Gulf-market range organized around XE, SE and LE grades. Nissan Middle East announced two new exterior colors for the 2019 model year, Hermosa Blue and Forged Copper Brown. Automotive-market coverage also identified additional body accessories and roof-rail changes depending on trim. A more substantial visual and equipment update followed for the 2020 model year: Nissan stated that production began in July 2019, ahead of the Middle Eastern launch in September. This distinction matters when identifying vehicles built or registered around the same period. A Patrol described as a 2019 model should not automatically be treated as the facelifted 2020 version.

Variants

In the Gulf-market range, the Base model corresponds to the Patrol XE fitted with the 4.0-liter petrol V6. Some SE grades also use this engine but add progressively more comfort, styling and driver-assistance equipment. LE versions are paired with the 5.6-liter petrol V8 and sit above the V6 models in the range. Middle Eastern Nissan documentation lists grades including XE, SE T1, SE T2, SE Platinum, LE T2, LE Titanium and LE Platinum, although availability could differ by country. The XE is the simpler configuration: the catalog consulted lists cloth upholstery, 18-inch alloy wheels and fewer convenience features than the higher grades. Trim names and equipment should therefore be checked against the original distributor specification. A vehicle imported from another Gulf market may not match the equipment of a locally delivered XE.
