Nissan Patrol Y63 Sells Out in UAE Within a Week of Launch
Oliver Bennett·15 April 2026·3 min read
Nissan UAE reports the Patrol Y63 initial allocation sold out within 7 days of order books opening — demand driven by the new V8 tune and updated interior.
Nissan UAE has confirmed that the initial 2026 Patrol Y63 allocation sold out within seven days of order books opening on November 12, 2025. The company has opened a waitlist for further deliveries and indicated a second allocation will arrive in Q1 2026.
What We Know
The Patrol Y63's popularity is driven by three factors: the return of the V8 in updated 400 hp tune, the completely redesigned interior that finally matches the car's price point, and years of purtchase deferrals among UAE buyers awaiting the model update.
Waitlist customers are being offered: - Q1 2026 delivery for Platinum trim (highest demand) - February 2026 delivery for LE trim (some remaining allocation) - Platinum NISMO: Q2 2026 (due to limited production of NISMO-specific parts)
Pricing Reminder
| Trim | Price (AED) | Waitlist Position |
|---|---|---|
| LE | 329,000 | Short wait (Feb 2026) |
| Platinum | 369,000 | Q1 2026 |
| Platinum NISMO | 449,000 | Q2 2026 |
A AED 10,000 refundable deposit secures a waitlist position.
Why It Sold Out
Nissan UAE's General Manager described the sell-out as "exceeding our most optimistic projections." Social media played a significant role: the Patrol Y63 reveal videos on Nissan GCC's Instagram and YouTube accumulated over 4.2 million views within 48 hours of posting.
The V8's return — after speculation that it would be replaced with a turbocharged six-cylinder — was the single most-cited reason for urgency among buyers who contacted Nissan UAE.
What This Means for Buyers
If you placed a waitlist deposit before November 25, 2025, you are in the Q1 2026 delivery window. New waitlist entrants from December 2025 onwards should expect Q2–Q3 2026 delivery for Platinum trim.
Nissan UAE has confirmed it will not accept or match pre-ordered cars between dealerships — each customer's position in a specific dealership's waitlist is fixed.
What Happens Next
Nissan UAE expects its full annual Patrol Y63 allocation to be confirmed in January 2026. The company has also confirmed a special 2026 launch edition — the Patrol Y63 Desert Edition — with unique matte sand exterior paint and beige sand-coloured interior, limited to 200 units for UAE.
