Overview
- Nissan executives said they are exploring bringing the Patrol to India as a full import under the no-homologation allowance of up to 2,500 vehicles a year.
- Dealers have been briefed and expressed interest, but Nissan has not taken a final launch or pricing decision.
- The company is eyeing a fully loaded, top-spec halo model rather than a low entry price, with media estimates near Rs 2 crore and up to Rs 2.5–3 crore for higher trims.
- A tentative window points to late 2026 or early 2027, placing the Patrol against the Toyota Land Cruiser, Lexus LX, Mercedes-Benz GLS and BMW X7.
- Nissan links the effort to its India reboot, citing a dealer push past 250 outlets, a Renault plant capacity reservation through 2029 and lessons from the X-Trail import that failed on price.
