The reveal unfolded with the 'KICKS Drop,' a seamless fusion of digital illusion and reality, where the all-new Nissan KICKS appeared to plummet onto the stage before transitioning into a real-world spectacle, reinforcing the model's urban, street-style identity. Additionally, two all-new KICKS vehicles drove onto the platform in synchronized motion, amplifying the sense of arrival, and then crossed the platform, giving attendees their first look at the region's newest crossover.

The immersive dual 12.3-inch digital display provided clear navigation and connectivity, while wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ kept drivers seamlessly linked to their playlists and calls. A highlight of the drive was the Reverse Challenge at The Sevens Stadium, where drivers tested the KICKS' suite of cameras and sensors, effortlessly maneuvering tight spaces using advanced 360-degree visibility and intelligent safety features. Whether accelerating down a straight or while executing driving maneuvers, the KICKS demonstrated its balance of power and precision, with the 2.0-liter inline-four-cylinder engine delivering 142 horsepower and 190 Nm of torque, seamlessly paired with Nissan's advanced Xtronic CVT transmission for smooth responsiveness.

Nissan Launches All-New Patrol in Egypt and Africa
Nissan launched the seventh generation of the legendary Nissan Patrol at a ceremony held today on Egypt's North Coast, a stunning stretch along the Mediterranean Sea. The all-new Nissan Patrol embodies a new chapter in Nissan's SUV design, with a distinctive look that balances superior capability with sophistication and luxury. Combining a rich heritage of over 70 years of excellence with advanced aesthetics, the latest model is a textbook interpretation of Nissan's global design philosophy that is rooted in the concepts of 'Daring Presence' and 'Established Prestige'. As Nissan Africa president Jordi Vila explained to the assembled media and Nissan's partners across Egypt, 'The Nissan Patrol is arriving in Africa, starting with Egypt, as we continue our brand promise of excellence, elegance, and premium craftsmanship. A new era of refined luxury begins here.' The All-new Nissan Patrol, he said, was a vehicle that would perform outstandingly irrespective of the terrain or whether it was used for daily commuting or the adventure of a lifetime. Its arrival will reinforce the leadership of the Nissan brand in Egypt and support our broader product strategy across Africa. Nissan Egypt Managing Director Mohamed Abdelsamad agreed, saying the all-new Patrol offered a unique and powerful automotive solution. 'With the launch of this legendary model in the Egyptian market, we affirm our ongoing commitment to provide a premium driving experience, supported by the latest Nissan technologies.' 'The All-New Nissan Patrol has arrived to complement our robust lineup in Egypt, from the best-selling Sunny, a staple in the Egyptian market, to the versatile Sentra, the dynamic Juke, the stylish Qashqai, the adventurous X-Trail, and the rugged Navara. With the Patrol joining this distinguished family, we reaffirm our leadership in the SUV segment and our commitment to delivering excellence across every category.' Abdelsamad added. All-new Engines The seventh-generation Nissan Patrol is the most powerful version of the SUV to date, setting new benchmarks in performance, responsiveness, and efficiency. It offers two engine options to accommodate different driving styles: The first is a new twin-turbocharged V6 engine that delivers 425 horsepower and 700 Nm of torque, representing a 7% increase in power and a 25% boost in torque compared to the previous V8 engine. The engine is also 24% more fuel efficient, reflecting Nissan's commitment to innovative powertrain development, prioritizing performance and sustainability. The second option is a naturally aspirated 3.8-litre V6 engine, producing 316 horsepower and 386 Nm of torque. The new engine boasts several key upgrades, including refined throttle response, heat-reflective coatings for improved thermal efficiency, a heat-resistant turbocharger for high-stress driving, and a high-performance oil pump to ensure consistent lubrication across rugged terrain. These enhancements optimize airflow and combustion as well as reduce environmental impact. Strong and Elegant Exterior Design The all-new Patrol features a commanding and elegant exterior design. Nissan's iconic V-Motion grille is broader and seamlessly integrated into the bodywork. The bold front is flanked by the distinctive new double C-shaped adaptive LED headlights for optimal visibility, while the striking full-width light bar further accentuates the bold exterior evolution. The Patrol rides on 22-inch alloy wheels, offering both aesthetic appeal and ground-gripping performance on rough terrain. Customers can choose from seven striking exterior colours, including four dual-tone combinations emphasizing individuality and luxury. Advanced Technology for a Unique Driving Experience The Patrol's new nine-speed automatic transmission ensures a smooth, responsive drive across city streets and off-road landscapes. With rapid gear changes and paddle shifters mounted behind the steering wheel, drivers enjoy seamless acceleration and heightened control. The all-new suspension system features electronic dampers that automatically adjust to road conditions for greater comfort and stability, working in tandem with an adaptive air suspension system that allows height adjustments for superior performance across various surfaces. An enhanced electronic steering system with lane-keeping assistance further improves safety and precision. The Patrol offers six drive modes: Standard, Sand, Rock, Mud, Eco, and Sport, ensuring readiness for any road or challenge. Refined Comfort, Innovative Design, and Cutting-Edge Safety The cabin exudes luxury and spaciousness, highlighted by a standard panoramic sunroof and NASA-inspired Zero Gravity seats in the first and second rows. These ergonomic seats reduce fatigue and maximize comfort using biomechanics designed to mimic weightlessness. An adjustable power leg rest further enhances long-drive comfort. The interior boasts dual 14.3-inch screens for navigation and infotainment, plus two 12.8-inch rear-seat entertainment displays, enabling seamless wireless or wired device connectivity. The gear selector has been upgraded to a sleek electronic 'Piano Key' shifter, offering a modern, intuitive driving experience. The All-New Nissan Patrol introduces an exceptional audio experience with its 12-speaker Klipsch Premium Audio system. Featured in select trims, this system delivers an immersive and crystal-clear soundscape that integrates seamlessly into the Patrol's interior, thanks to precision-engineered components developed by Nissan and Klipsch engineers. Complementing this sensory sophistication is the Patrol's segment-first Biometric Cooling technology, designed to maintain optimal comfort regardless of external temperatures. Available in select grades, this innovative system uses a built-in infrared sensor to detect the body temperature of front and second row passengers, and automatically adjusts air flow settings to provide a smart, intuitive cooling experience. Advanced Safety Systems The all-new Nissan Patrol offers a comprehensive set of safety systems, including the 360-degree Panorama View system, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and rear automatic braking. Protection has also been enhanced with a structure made of higher-density reinforced steel, along with seven airbags. Ongoing Commitment to Innovation and Excellence The launch of the all-new Nissan Patrol reinforces Nissan Egypt's position as the market leader, reaffirming its commitment to deliver automotive solutions that merge robust performance with advanced safety, luxurious comfort, and the latest technology. This new generation of Patrol exemplifies Nissan's vision of innovation, delivering world-class vehicles tailored to the needs of its Egyptian customers, making it the SUV of choice for those who demand excellence without compromise. تم نسخ الرابط

Nissan Patrol Debuts in Egypt from EGP 8.99m at Exclusive North Coast Launch
Nissan Egypt has officially launched the all-new 2026 Nissan Patrol in the local market, unveiling the high-performance SUV during a private, high-profile event in Egypt's North Coast over the weekend. This marks the first official appearance of the all-new Patrol in Egypt, a long-anticipated entry that brings one of Nissan's most iconic global models to local roads through authorized distribution. The event — held at a luxury beachfront venue — drew leading automotive media, key industry stakeholders, and Nissan's dealer network. It also signaled a strategic expansion of Nissan's product portfolio in Egypt, targeting premium buyers and lifestyle-driven customers in search of a full-size, high-capability SUV with a strong international reputation. Flagship Entry to a New Segment Renowned across the Middle East and globally for its durability, off-road performance, and high-end comfort, the Patrol has earned its status as a flagship model within Nissan's global SUV lineup. Its official arrival in Egypt introduces a new category of full-size, luxury off-road vehicles that, until now, had limited or no direct presence in the market. The all-new 2026 Patrol will be available in eight different variants, spread across two powerful engine configurations — a naturally aspirated 3.8L V6 and a new 3.5L V6 Twin Turbo — both equipped with intelligent 4WD and advanced automatic transmissions. Official Prices and Model Breakdown: 3.8L V6 Engine: • XE – EGP 8,990,000 • SE – EGP 9,600,000 • SE Titanium – EGP 10,750,000 • SE Platinum City – EGP 11,750,000 3.5L V6 Twin Turbo: • LE1 – EGP 11,050,000 • LE2 – EGP 11,900,000 • LE Titanium – EGP 13,000,000 • LE Platinum City – EGP 14,000,000 Each variant offers a distinct combination of luxury features, performance enhancements, and design upgrades — allowing customers to choose based on lifestyle needs, driving preferences, and interior expectations. Elevated Design and Interior Sophistication The new Patrol blends aggressive design language with refined detailing. Its imposing front grille, sculpted LED lighting, and signature V-Motion styling reflect the vehicle's off-road DNA while appealing to modern luxury tastes. Inside, the cabin is finished with premium leather, dual infotainment screens, ambient lighting, and advanced safety features, transforming the Patrol into both a performance vehicle and a high-end travel experience. Across the top trims, features include adaptive cruise control, intelligent emergency braking, lane intervention systems, and terrain management modes — all designed to offer drivers enhanced control, whether in urban traffic or on rugged terrain. Unique in Its Class With its debut, the Patrol effectively creates its own niche in Egypt's automotive landscape. The full-size luxury SUV segment has remained largely untapped, with few — if any — direct competitors officially available through local distributors. Nissan's move not only fills this gap but positions the Patrol as a trailblazer in redefining premium mobility options for Egyptian consumers. 'We're proud to finally introduce the Patrol to the Egyptian market,' a Nissan Africa , Communication General Manager Nissan Africa ,Ramy Moharb said during the event. 'This vehicle represents a perfect combination of heritage and innovation. It's a global icon, and we believe it will resonate deeply with Egyptian customers looking for exceptional performance, presence, and prestige.' Strategic Timing Amid SUV Market Growth The Patrol's launch also comes at a time when Egypt's demand for SUVs continues to rise, driven by changing mobility patterns, an increase in intercity travel, and a growing appetite for higher ground clearance, road visibility, and comfort on longer drives. The Patrol — with its blend of capability and luxury — appears well-positioned to meet this evolving consumer demand. With local deliveries expected to begin in the coming weeks, Nissan Egypt is now gearing up for expanded showroom rollouts and nationwide test-drive campaigns, aimed at showcasing the Patrol's full potential to a new audience.
