Infiniti celebrated the 70th anniversary of the legendary Patrol launch worldwide and unveiled the regional premiere of the completely new 2022 Pathfinder, marking a new chapter in the brand’s leadership within the SUV segment across the Middle East. The celebration took place at Al Wasl Plaza, the vibrant heart of Expo 2020 Dubai.
The Patrol earned its iconic reputation by blending heritage and durability, becoming an inseparable part of life for residents and nationals across the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. Since its introduction in the region in 1956, a strong bond has developed between the Patrol and local communities, built on its outstanding capability to conquer the harshest terrains with unmatched comfort and luxury. Its regional success is further strengthened by the exclusive 2022 model tailored specifically for GCC nations, commemorating this milestone in its history.
The dome of Al Wasl Plaza, illuminated with dynamic lighting, provided the perfect setting to narrate Infiniti’s past, present, and future. The event marked another pivotal moment for Infiniti as the official automotive partner of Expo 2020 Dubai, offering a global platform for celebrations that engaged audiences virtually from around the world.
The exclusive 70th-anniversary 2022 Patrol features updated design and technology enhancements, making it more luxurious and connected than any previous model, complete with a distinctive emblem on the front bumper honoring this historic achievement. This version stands out from its predecessor with a new V-Motion grille, a redesigned front bumper, 20-inch machined aluminum wheels, burgundy-colored interior upholstery, and a reimagined central control panel. The experience is elevated by a high-resolution 12.3-inch infotainment display offering enhanced wireless connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
Meanwhile, the completely reimagined 2022 Pathfinder builds on the legacy of its predecessor while delivering modern comfort, advanced connectivity, and enhanced features for today’s drivers. The fifth-generation model pays homage to the original Pathfinder introduced in 1987, featuring a bold exterior design and delivering a safer, more connected driving experience for both drivers and passengers.
For the first time ever, the 2022 Pathfinder offers dual-tone exterior colors and includes Nissan’s suite of intelligent driving technologies such as the advanced ProPILOT system, designed to enhance driving conditions across various scenarios. It also features additional driver assistance systems that reduce acceleration, steering input, and braking effort, helping minimize driver fatigue during long highway journeys. The new model includes a 12.3-inch infotainment screen and, in select trims, a revolutionary 10.8-inch heads-up display projected onto the windshield. A completely new 9-speed automatic transmission delivers improved acceleration and performance.
