2022 Nissan Patrol Nismo Unveiled

The Nissan Patrol facelift made its global debut in September 2019 and almost 18 month later the Japanese carmaker unveiled the hotter Nismo version of the SUV. The Nissan Patrol Nismo looks quite more aggressive than the standard model courtesy beefier body kits and an array of red accents both on the inside and outside the car. It also stands quite tall on 22-inch wheels and sports sharp LED for lights that builds up on its imposing looks. Then, Nissan has also updated the honeycomb grille with the Nismo badge.
