Established in 1954, the iF Design Award is sponsored by the iF International Forum Design GmbH (iF International Forum Design Inc.) in Hannover, Germany. Recognized as one of the world's most prestigious design awards, this year 129 design experts from 21 nationalities judged more than 10,000 works, including products and projects, from 68 countries.

The new Patrol marks the seventh generation of Nissan’s flagship SUV, carrying over 75 years of legacy, excellence, and trust. It blends cutting-edge technology with Japanese heritage—defined by precision, quality, and attention to detail.

Signature design cues, such as the “Double-C” lighting motifs mirrored in the front headlamps and taillamps, side vents on front fenders, reflect this craftsmanship. The exterior exudes rugged capability with an “Unbreakable” presence and “Bold Dignity,” while the intuitive cockpit and spacious eight-seat interior form a fortress of comfort for every journey across the world.

Powered by a twin-turbo 3.5-liter V6 (VR35DDTT), it produces 431 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 700 Nm of torque. This is then mated to a 9-speed automatic with steering wheel-mounted shifter paddles and an intelligent 4WD system with two-speed transfer case (Auto, 4H, 4L).

Together with the engine, the all-new Patrol gets a first-in-its-class Adaptive Air Suspension. This allows it to raise or drop its ride height making for easier entry or exit, or even improved off-roading and flood crossing capability. Also, e-dampers at all four corners help give it a wonderful, magic carpet ride.

The all-new Patrol is the first Nissan model with a 4WD transfer mode interlock allowing it to switch between modes at any time. Drivers have a selection is six modes to choose from—Standard, Eco, Sport, Sand, Mud, Rock—to maximize not just traction but also throttle sensitivity and even how the electric aids all behave.

More recently, Nissan Philippines added a new variant of the Patrol which drops its rear entertainment system.
