NISSAN has reached a new benchmark in refinement and capability with its Adaptive Air Suspension, featuring Intelligent Dynamic Damping (e-Damper technology) on the all-new Patrol.
This cutting-edge system is exclusive to the Patrol V6T Platinum, Patrol PRO-4X and Patrol NISMO, enhancing the vehicle’s everyday practicality and off-road performance.
This innovation is brought to Bahrain by Y K Almoayyed & Sons (YKA), the sole distributor of Nissan vehicles in the kingdom.
The new Adaptive Air Suspension builds upon the Patrol’s legacy of engineering excellence, offering benefits that elevate comfort, capability, efficiency and driver confidence, says the marque.
The Patrol’s long-standing suspension heritage includes innovative features like four-wheel independent suspension which balances refinement and off-road capability. The introduction of e-Damper technology and Adaptive Air Suspension enhances this foundation, providing adjustable ride height and real-time damping that result in a more responsive and stable driving experience across various terrains.
With more than 70 years of history in the Middle East, the Patrol represents strength and prestige. Its robust 3.5-litre V6 twin-turbo engine delivers responsive performance, while the Adaptive Air Suspension mirrors this with intelligent, real-time adjustments. The new reinforced chassis and nine-speed automatic transmission allow for a smoother and quieter ride, whether navigating city streets or off-road trails.
The Adaptive Air Suspension system provides five key advantages:
- The intelligent e-Damper system continuously adjusts damping based on terrain and speed, minimising body roll and vibration, achieving sedan-like comfort without sacrificing ruggedness.
- In Off-Road Mode, the vehicle raises by approximately 50mm, improving approach and departure angles, and offering unmatched control across challenging landscapes with six selectable drive modes.
- At higher speeds, the Patrol lowers in Aero Mode to enhance aerodynamics, improving fuel efficiency and providing confident highway performance.
- The vehicle automatically lowers when parked to facilitate easier entry and exit, making it a convenient choice for families and commuters.
- The system adjusts ride height based on speed and conditions, ensuring optimal comfort and safety for various driving scenarios.
The new suspension system also integrates seamlessly with the Patrol’s advanced camera technologies, including Panorama View and Invisible Hood View, offering exceptional visibility on and off-road.
The introduction of the Adaptive Air Suspension underscores Nissan’s dedication to engineering innovation tailored for the Middle East, solidifying the Patrol’s status as the region’s most trusted premium SUV.
The complete Patrol V6T line-up, featuring the Platinum, adventure-ready PRO-4X, and motorsport-inspired NISMO, with the new Adaptive Air Suspension, is now available at the Nissan Showroom in Sitra.
