Muscat - The 2005 Nissan Patrol gets an infusion of style and comfort without sacrificing any of its ruggedness, reliability and durability. The Patrol's performance is further enhanced with its fuel-efficient 4800 VTC DOHC engine which delivers unmatchable 280hp thus shifting people's perceptions of high-fuel consumption and efficiency.
There's a tendency to group all 4x4s as gas-guzzlers. However, contrary to this fact the Nissan Patrol has proved its peers wrong by achieving unmatched performance, durability and reliability without compromise on its fuel efficiency.
One of the perfect examples where the Nissan Patrols driving range and fuel efficiency is best tested is while driving past the borders of two countries without stopping for a single refuel from Dammam, Saudi Arabia, to Kuwait city or from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, to Doha, Qatar, which is a commendable feat in itself. What the Patrol customers value most about the vehicle is the security of driving a strong and sleek 4X4 with the freedom to go anywhere without any halt."
The main factors that contribute towards better fuel efficiency in the Nissan Patrol besides its powerful engine is its newly-designed 5-speed AT with manual shift mode, which is light in weight and has high ratio of fifth and final gear.
The Patrol's advanced fuel injection system also plays an important role in improving fuel competency.
The Nissan Patrol is equipped with 135L fuel tank which is split into the main tank with a capacity of 95L combined with a sub-fuel tank which can hold 40L. On depletion of fuel in the main tank, the sub-fuel tank is easily activated by a switch located on the instrument panel which acts as a perfect back-up for replenishing fuel, thus increasing driving range. This long driving range generated from the application of two fuel tanks comfortably allows you to cruise non-stop without refuelling on long journeys.
Over the years, the Patrol has evolved into king of all-terrain vehicle and it dominates the sand dunes as easily as the city streets.
The Patrol continues to impact the buying decision of its loyal and diehard enthusiast who have followed its strong heritage and success since its debut simply because it offers them more value. It's a SUV that stays true to its strong off-road heritage while adding smooth handling and luxurious interior with the customer in mind.
The 2005 Nissan Patrol will also attract many new buyers who choose 4x4s for city transport as much as for an exciting, off-road experience.
The interior modern luxury image is strengthened by a newly-designed instrument panel and complimented with plush comfortable seating making any long journey a pleasant experience. Also standard are high-power fog lamps, keyless entry system, electronically controlled power steering, 17-inch alloy wheels which is very popular with Middle East customers. Patrol also offers the highest levels of safety features whether through its anti-lock braking system, highly effective halogen headlights, dual front airbag, side airbag and incorporated crushable zones.
The 2005 Patrol presents the best of both worlds - as stylish and comfortable on the freeway as it is rugged and reliable in the desert.
