The Nissan Patrol Black Hawk is an extreme take on the Patrol luxury SUV. The upgrade comprises a bold and aggressive body kit, large wheels and a healthy power boost. Unlike the Patrol which is offered across the Nissan South Africa network, the Black Hawk is retailed exclusively through the BB Group of dealerships. The Black Hawk retails for R2 200 000, a premium over the standard Patrol which costs R 1 756 900.

Under the bonnet is a 5.6-litre supercharged petrol engine that makes 396 kW and 772 Nm. All that shove goes to all four wheels via a 7-speed automatic transmission. While there’s no official 0-100 kph performance claim, a good frame of reference is the standard Patrol offering up 298 kW and 560 Nm.
The standard car hits 100 kph in around 7 seconds, so you can expect the Black Hawk to be significantly quicker.
The Patrol Black Hawk rides on 22-inch wrapped in 285/40 rubber. Inside, passengers are treated to a high-quality Bose audio system, climate control front seats, second row 8-inch entertainment screens with headphones, second row climate control, a powered tailgate, large central infotainment screen, USB/Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone pairing. On-board navigation is included too.
When it comes to safety, the Patrol Black Hawk features intelligent cruise control, 360-degree panoramic camera, forward collision warning, lane departure warning/intervention, blind spot warning/intervention, emergency brake, cross traffic assist and front/rear parking sensors.
For those wanting to take their Black Hawks offroading, the vehicle retains all of the Patrol’s 4×4 capabilities and comes with hill descent control, tyre pressure sensors, intelligent all-mode 4WD with road, sand, rock modes and the vehicle comes with a helical Limited Slip Differential (LSD) and rear differential lock.
