Never one to let the blowing dust settle around the wheels of its most popular vehicles, <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/tags/nissan/" target="_blank">Nissan</a> has announced a series of upgrades and adjustments for the 2022 Super Safari, the most hardcore of the <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/business/road-to-net-zero/2022/02/08/nissan-plans-to-exit-the-petrol-engine-game/" target="_blank">Patrol breed</a>. This offshoot of the UAE’s most popular car is easily distinguishable from the standard version, standing higher and looking just a little bit more high-spirited. The latest Super Safari comes with a 4.8-litre in-line six-cylinder engine that produces 280 horsepower and 451Nm of torque. You can get the car in a five-speed automatic or manual transmission version. The 2022 car has greater ground clearance, allowing it to tackle harsh gradients with more ease. It also has a heavy-duty coil spring suspension, with telescopic shock absorbers and a torsion bar, which should make the ride smoother. In addition to the usual electronic power steering, the Super Safari is also equipped with a range of Nissan’s intelligent mobility features. These include cruise control, tyre-pressure monitoring, anti-lock braking, airbags, and a system that prevents understeer and oversteer by reducing engine speed and applying the brakes individually on specific wheels when entering or exiting a corner. Not a feature those into drifting would approve of. Inside, drivers can opt to have the seats and cabin decked out in PVC, fabric, or tan leather, with the latter being adorned with a special Super Safari emboss. The new vehicle now comes in three colours — black, white, or gold — with a choice of grey or gold flourishes across the roof, front and rear bumpers, wheel arches and spare tyre cover. That is all set off, of course, with the bold Super Safari decal along the side, just to drive the point home. The Patrol is now in its <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/motoring/2022/02/09/nissan-patrol-through-the-ages-in-pictures/" target="_blank">70th year of production</a>, with <a href="https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/motoring/2021/12/07/nissan-patrol-celebrates-70th-birthday-at-expo-2020-in-music-and-lights-extravaganza/" target="_blank">a special edition being unveiled at Expo 2020</a>. The Super Safari, introduced in 2016, is a trim line specific to the Middle East. The 2022 Patrol Super Safari is now available in the UAE at Al Masaood Automobiles in Abu Dhabi and Arabian Automobiles in Dubai. It has a starting price of Dh153,000 ($41,654).
