Al Masaood Automobiles, the authorised distributor for Nissan in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and the Al Dhafra Region, hosted an exclusive customer preview last week, becoming the first dealership globally to showcase the 2026 Nissan Patrol NISMO in its showrooms immediately after the model’s official world premiere in the UAE.
Held simultaneously at the Abu Dhabi and Al Ain showrooms, the preview provided customers with early access to two highly anticipated Nissan performance icons—the 2026 Patrol NISMO and Z NISMO. The event generated significant excitement, resulting in a remarkable fivefold increase in showroom footfall and a 150% rise in Patrol NISMO bookings, underscoring the immense regional appeal of the NISMO brand.
Rooted deeply in motorsport heritage, NISMO has consistently captivated driving enthusiasts across the Middle East. Specifically engineered for the region, the new Patrol NISMO merges the rugged, off-road capabilities synonymous with Patrol vehicles with refined, track-inspired performance. This unique blend of power, precision, and presence directly caters to the expectations of UAE motorists.
Alongside the Patrol NISMO, customers also experienced the new Z NISMO, which represents the zenith of Nissan’s storied Z lineup. Powered by a potent 3.0L twin-turbo V6 engine producing 420 horsepower, it boasts NISMO-tuned suspension and braking systems, aerodynamic enhancements, and a motorsport-inspired cockpit, combining over half a century of legacy with cutting-edge engineering.
Bachir Gemayel, Sales and Marketing Director at Al Masaood Automobiles, commented: “Being the first dealership globally to showcase the Patrol NISMO is a proud milestone and testament to the strong partnership we have with Nissan. It also underscores our unwavering commitment to prioritising customer experiences. The exceptional energy and enthusiasm witnessed during this event speak volumes about our customers’ deep connection with the Patrol and the high-performance ethos embodied by NISMO. Such moments validate our dedication to delivering timely, meaningful experiences tailored to our customers’ evolving preferences.”
Since its introduction in 2015, the Patrol NISMO has been specifically developed for the Middle Eastern market, renowned for valuing performance, luxury, and craftsmanship. The all-new 2026 Patrol NISMO, shaped by extensive regional feedback and rigorous local testing, emerges as the most powerful Patrol iteration to date.
Customers in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, and Al Dhafra can reserve the Patrol NISMO and Z NISMO through Al Masaood Automobiles showrooms or via the official website: nissan-abudhabi.com.
