Nissan Patrol Safari: Your Perfect Off-Road Vehicle and here’s why

03 Apr 2023

You might think I’m crazy, but it’s one of my dream vehicles. If you want to know why, let me tell you. I’ll take you on a trip with me in my imagination. I’ll tell you a story that I would like to make a dream that will come true someday. For me, family is my number one priority. Who doesn’t love their family? Or who doesn’t want to make a family and live happily ever after with its members?

If you visit Nissan UAE’s official website, you’ll find a man standing in the middle of the desert with his Nissan Patrol Safari. When I first saw the photo, I instantly thought that this man looks like he has reached freedom in the desert. He’s not stuck between city buildings and traffic jams, but he’s totally free with nothing around him but sands. I thought that the Nissan Patrol Safari got him there. I imagined how much fun he had while roaming the desert freely and easily with his reliable 4x4 Patrol Safari. You need a vehicle with super capabilities to be able to wander in the desert.

This is what the Nissan Patrol Safari is: a vehicle with wonderful off-roading capabilities. Now, let’s get to the story.

The Perfect Safari Trip with the Family

The Perfect Safari Trip with the Family

As I said before, my family is everything to me. I imagine myself taking them on an unforgettable trip in a 4x4 family car. We start our day packing our stuffs for a long trip in the desert, in which we’ll end our day with a barbecue session. The Nissan Patrol Safari is a 7-seater, so it would fit my family members easily. I wouldn’t even worry about fuel, as the car has a sub fuel tank that will increase the range with its 40L capacity, and I can use it with a flip of a switch located on my instrument panel. So, I take my brothers and cousins on a trip. Off we go to the desert, and then we reach the sands of freedom. I can hear my brothers excited already about starting our joyful ride on the waves of the sands. I don’t have to worry about the vehicle being stuck somewhere because my Nissan Patrol Safari has a powerful 4.8L I6 engine with a 4x4 drivetrain and a 5-speed automatic transmission with differential lock for maximum grip and peace of mind. I’m confident enough because the car has a heavy-duty suspension system: 3-link coil type front suspensions, and 5-link coil type rear suspensions. I start riding the car in the land of freedom, and I feel the car strongly defying the off-road with its 17-inch machine cut alloy wheels. The wheels are spinning strongly and mashing the sands beneath them. We climb the sand hill and we feel the adrenaline down our spines in this beautiful adventure. The dunes are everywhere but the car can tackle inclines up to 39 degrees. We surpass them easily, then we reach the middle of the desert.

A Classy Interior for You and Your Family

I love the interior of the Nissan Patrol Safari, as it comes with a tan cloth seats, like the color of the desert. I love the design of the multi-functional steering wheel that is made of leather and black wood prints; its design is super comfortable and good for the grip. The car has good technology, too, as it has an automatic climate control and an infotainment system that includes Bluetooth, CD, AUX, FM/AM, and a navigation system that will help you roam easily in the desert. I connect my phone to the car’s infotainment system, I turn on the music, and we enjoy our ride in the middle of nowhere. We can see the sky above us while roaming the desert from the sunroof Safety systems and driving assistance systems are there to protect me and my family and help me as a driver: Vehicle Dynamic Control, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (I also have a spare tire stuck in the rear trunk door), ABS, front and rear parking sensors, rear camera, cruise control, dual front airbag, and a keyless entry system.

As we arrive to the middle of the desert, we start preparing for the barbecue as the sun starts to set. I look at the car and it looks so good with its conservative design. It has a dual-tone body color with colored stripes on the sides. The front has a chrome grille with LED headlights and front fog lights integrated in the front bumper that comes ready for off-roading and equipped with an electric-powered winch for emergencies. Fenders are on top of the wheels, and mirror caps are covered with chrome. The rear has a rear spoiler and a strong rear bumper with a rear towing hook.

This is the trip that I would like to take my family on in a powerful 4x4 Nissan Patrol Safari with astonishing off-road capabilities. If you’re an off-road lover like me, imagine how amazing it would be to be able to take your family on a trip whenever you want in a vehicle that can take you anywhere. Note that the Nissan Patrol Safari is available in the standard Safari trim and the Super Safari trim. The Super Safari is the version that comes with a dual-tony body color with strong plastic bumpers and fenders. The Safari version comes with less options: for example, it comes with a single-tone body color, and doesn’t include led fog lights, electric-powered winch, a roof spoiler, and others.
