Rent Nissan Patrol 2022 in Dubai

At 5.14 metres long and 1.995 metres wide, this white Nissan Patrol 2022 does not fit the definition of an easy car to park, and that is worth knowing before you book it rather than after you have circled a Marina level twice looking for a bay long enough. We rent the Patrol 2022 in Dubai with delivery to your door in one to two hours, so you are not driving something this size across town to collect it. Underneath that footprint sits the older, well proven Y62 generation, built around the 5.6-litre V8 before Nissan redesigned the badge. What this page settles is whether the width and the turning circle are a fair trade for what the Patrol gives back, or your week suits something narrower.

The V8, and what it takes to place this much car

Open the bonnet and you find a 5.6-litre petrol V8 making 400 hp at 5,800 rpm and 560 Nm at 4,000 rpm, sent through a seven-speed automatic to all four wheels with a genuine low-range transfer case. This is body-on-frame construction, not a crossover platform wearing rugged badges, the same drivetrain Nissan has run across the GCC since the 2020 facelift. It moves with real urgency for something this heavy, 0-100 km/h in around 6.6 seconds, holding close to 210 km/h if the road ever lets it get there.

Placing the car day to day is a different skill from driving it fast. At just over 5.1 metres nose to tail and close to two metres wide, the Patrol asks for a full-length bay rather than the gap near the trolley return, and a Marina tower ramp rewards patience over confidence. The 3,075 mm wheelbase means a U-turn on a narrow service road often becomes a three-point manoeuvre, and the reverse camera and sensors earn their keep in a tight multi-storey. A share of 2022 Patrols in the region carry a smaller 4.0-litre V6 instead of this V8, a competent engine but a noticeably calmer one. If the V8 is the reason you are choosing this car, ask us to confirm the engine on your specific unit.

Seven seats and the packing reality behind them

All that footprint buys real space inside. The middle row is wide enough for three across, or two adults with room either side, and it slides and tips forward on its own, so nobody climbs over a folded seatback to reach the third row. Put grandparents back there for a proper drive rather than a five-minute hop and neither one arrives cramped.

The boot is where you plan ahead instead of assuming. With all seven seats up, the space behind the last row takes a couple of holdalls and a grocery run, not a wall of hard suitcases for a full car. Fold one side of the third row flat and a real load bay opens up beside it, enough for four or five large cases while five or six people still travel. Take the whole row out and it swallows a big family's luggage for a week with room spare. The day this catches people out is the one where every seat is filled and every case is packed at once, and on most bookings that combination never comes up. Decide which one your trip needs before you load the car, not at the kerb.

Fuel, Salik and the white paint's summer edge

A 5.6-litre V8 in a two-and-a-half-tonne SUV was never built to sip fuel, and the combined figure of around 14 L/100km undersells what you will actually see. Dubai traffic with the air conditioning working hard tends to push real consumption toward 16 or 17 litres per 100 km. The 140-litre tank absorbs most of that gap, buying several days of ordinary driving between fills even with a heavy right foot.

Mileage is the number to plan around before you leave the desk. The daily allowance on this Patrol is 250 km, then AED 0.5 for every kilometre past that. City errands, school runs and an airport pickup sit comfortably inside it, but a full day out toward Hatta and back is worth a quick tally first, since the drive there and back alone eats into that limit faster than in-town driving does. You will need to be 25 to take the keys, older than the minimum on several other Patrols in this fleet. Salik tolls and any RTA fines land on you as the renter, the same as on every car we hand over.

White genuinely earns its keep here. A pale body sheds far more solar load than a dark one, so after hours in an open July lot, this Patrol's roof and bonnet stay noticeably cooler to the touch, and the compressor is not starting from as deep a hole once you climb back in. That advantage stops at the glass, though. A cabin this size still bakes through the windscreen regardless of paint, so give the front vents a couple of minutes on full before it feels right, and let the rear vents carry the second and third rows rather than leftover air from the front.

Who this Patrol suits despite the size, and who should size down

Book this Patrol if you are a large family or a group travelling with real luggage, willing to trade easy parking for seven genuine seats and a V8 that makes highway distance disappear. The low-range gearing is real hardware, not a badge, for anyone planning a run toward the dunes on top of the daily driving. Build the minimum age of 25 into your plans early if a younger member of the group hoped to share the wheel.

Size down if it is one or two of you running errands with the odd airport pickup. You would spend the week hunting for a bay long enough for a five-metre SUV, feeding a big V8 for a job a mid-size crossover handles on less fuel and with far less fuss on a ramp. This Patrol earns its footprint back on the week that actually needs seven seats and real ground clearance, not as the default because it is the biggest name on the list.
