2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari Review: The Desert Warrior

image

The 2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari isn’t just an SUV—it’s a legend. A favorite among off-road enthusiasts, dune bashers, and explorers, the Super Safari stays true to its roots with rugged capability, old-school toughness, and simple mechanics. While newer SUVs chase luxury and tech, this Patrol sticks to what it does best—conquering the desert without breaking a sweat. 

 

Design & Exterior 

 

The Super Safari’s design is a throwback to Nissan’s off-road heritage. It still has the boxy, no-nonsense body with a bold chrome grille, signature decals, and classic round headlights. The massive ground clearance, side steps, and roof rails make it look ready for adventure straight from the showroom. It’s not sleek, it’s not modern—but that’s exactly why people love it. It’s built to look tough and act tougher. 

 

Interior & Comfort 

 

Step inside, and you’ll realize this SUV isn’t about luxury—it’s about function. The Super Safari’s cabin is basic yet durable, with hard-wearing materials, large buttons, and a straightforward layout. Leather seats add a touch of comfort, but don’t expect the plush feel of a luxury SUV—this is built for utility, not vanity. 

 

That said, Nissan has added some modern features to keep up with the times. You get a 7-inch infotainment system with navigation, Bluetooth, and smartphone connectivity. The automatic climate control ensures the cabin stays cool even in extreme heat, and the spacious interior means you can load up on gear, supplies, and passengers for long desert trips. 

 

Performance & Off-Road Capabilities 

 

This is where the Super Safari earns its reputation. Under the hood is a 4.8L inline-6 engine, pushing out 280 horsepower and 451 Nm of torque. It’s mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission—nothing fancy, but built for reliability. The Super Safari is all about torque and control, ensuring you never get stuck, whether in deep sand, rocky trails, or muddy terrain. 

 

The legendary 4WD system comes with high and low-range gearing, locking differentials, and heavy-duty suspension—all designed for serious off-road punishment. And with massive approach and departure angles, you can tackle dunes and steep inclines without scraping the bumper. 

 

Verdict 

 

The 2022 Nissan Patrol Super Safari is for those who value off-road dominance over modern luxury. It’s built for adventure, not attention, making it the go-to choice for overlanders, off-roaders, and explorers. If you want reliability, raw power, and the ability to go where others can’t, this is your SUV.
