Apart from having bulletproof glass all around, it also has heavy duty hinges with door stoppers, overlaps around doors and protection around fuel tank, battery and the electronic control unit (ECU). This Nissan Patrol is available with up to B7 level of armouring which means it can stop armour-piercing rounds and even shots from sniper rifles.

Both engines are paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission and the SUV comes with a four-wheel-drive system.

The SUV gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a seven-inch driver’s display and 10.1-inch rear seat entertainment screens. The Nissan Patrol also gets a 13-speaker Bose sound system, dual zone climate control, wireless phone charger and heated and ventilated front row seats.

In terms of safety, it offers six airbags as standard. The SUV also gets vehicle dynamic control (VDC), tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), rear-view camera and hill start and descent control.
