Nissan's UAE range is barbell-shaped. There are 25 model lines on sale, but the volume gathers at the two extremes — small crossovers and sedans at one end, the Patrol at the other — and comparatively little sits between them.
How much does a new Nissan cost in the UAE?
Anywhere from AED 59,900 to AED 449,900, and the bottom third of that span covers most of what actually sells. The top of it is one nameplate in its most expensive specifications. Engines run from a 1 L three-cylinder turbo to a V8, with a 65 kWh battery pack in the electric cars.
Which Nissan models are sold in the UAE?
SUVs, mostly — eleven of them. The Magnite and Kicks sit at the bottom, the Juke, X-Trail and Xterra in the middle, then the Qashqai, Murano and Patrol. Four sedans carry the rest: Sunny, Sentra, Altima and Maxima. A Navara pickup, two vans, the Micra and two coupés complete the list.
Nissan Patrol or Toyota Land Cruiser?
The Patrol is the better car to drive and the cheaper one to get into — quicker, quieter on tarmac, more equipment for the money. The Land Cruiser wins on the number that decides the true cost: a Patrol keeps about 43% of its value after five years, where roughly 60% is normal for a large Japanese SUV here.
Is a used Nissan the better buy?
It depends which one, and the spread inside this brand is enormous. A Maxima holds about 20% of its value after five years against roughly 55% for mainstream Japanese cars here, so buying that one used is close to free money. An Xterra holds about 58%, the right side of that same line, so the used saving is thin. Work model by model rather than treating the badge as one decision.
Pick the body style first, then set the new price against the used Nissans listed now — the gap is different on every model in the range.
