\nThe short answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Nissan Patrol gives you more car for your money today. The Land Cruiser gives you more of your money back when you sell, and costs less to run in between. Across UAE listings a five-year-old Patrol asks about 43% of its new price, a five-year-old Land Cruiser about 56%. Which one is better depends almost entirely on how long you intend to keep it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Stand outside any petrol station in Dubai for long enough and you will see both of them: a Land Cruiser easing in beside a Patrol, two drivers who could be cross-shopping the same budget and walking away with completely different cars. Ask either owner why they chose the one they did and you get a confident answer. Ask them to back it up with numbers and most cannot. That is the gap this article closes.<\/p>\n

Every other Nissan Patrol vs Land Cruiser comparison online argues about horsepower and quotes showroom prices for brand-new cars. That is not the decision most UAE buyers are actually making. If you are reading this, you are almost certainly choosing between two used examples, weighing a lower price today against a stronger resale tomorrow, and wondering whether the Toyota\u2019s reputation is worth what it costs to buy in.<\/p>\n

So here is the shape of it. Used pricing across the UAE market shows a five-year-old Patrol sitting at about 43% of its new asking price while a five-year-old Land Cruiser sits at about 56%. Fuel and insurance run higher on the Patrol side too. The rest of this article shows you exactly where the line falls between those two facts.<\/p>\n

Used Nissan Patrol vs Land Cruiser prices in Dubai, by model year<\/h2>\n

Median asking prices from live UAE listings. The range column is the typical band, the 10th to 90th percentile, so it ignores one-off armoured and collector cars. Land Cruiser figures cover the station wagon body only; the 70 Series and Pickup are priced separately further down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

All figures in AED. Read the mileage columns alongside the prices, because they explain a good deal of the gap. A 2016 Patrol on the market typically shows 177,000 km. A 2016 Land Cruiser typically shows 55,000 km. Part of what you are paying for with the Toyota is a car that has usually done far less work.<\/p>\n

A single set of listings can skew toward whichever dealers are stocking heaviest that month, so this pricing was sampled across more than one point in the UAE resale market for the same model years. For 2020, Patrol asking prices cluster tightly around AED 119,000 across the wider market, within a few thousand dirhams of our own 2020 median of AED 120,743. Land Cruiser asking prices for 2020 sit closer to AED 160,000 in the wider market, roughly 1.3 times the Patrol figure; our own 2020 Land Cruiser median runs about 1.5 times the Patrol, slightly wider than the market average because our Land Cruiser mix that day leaned toward higher trims.<\/p>\n

The direction holds everywhere. The Land Cruiser costs meaningfully more than the Patrol at every model year, and the gap widens with age.<\/p>\n

How much below asking price should you expect to negotiate<\/h2>\n

Every price in the table above is an asking price, not a closing price, and the gap between the two is where a lot of buyers either save real money or leave it on the table.<\/p>\n

CarSwitch, which tracks closed sales in Dubai rather than listings, puts most used cars in the emirate at roughly 7 to 8% below asking once negotiation is done. On older premium SUVs it measures more room than that: around 12 to 13% off on the BMW X5 and Audi Q7 examples it has tracked. Those are not Patrols or Land Cruisers, so treat the higher figure as the shape of the premium-SUV segment rather than a measurement of these two specifically.<\/p>\n

Applied as a range, on a 2020 Patrol asking AED 120,743 that works out to roughly AED 8500 to 15,700 off. On a 2020 Land Cruiser asking AED 182,500 it works out to roughly AED 12,800 to 23,700 off.<\/p>\n

A seller\u2019s situation moves this more than the model does. A private seller relocating out of the UAE, or a dealer clearing older stock ahead of quarter-end, will typically move further than a dealer with steady turnover and no urgency. Our listings show asking prices, not closed sale prices, so treat the figures above as a starting point for a negotiation rather than a fixed number, and use the specific listing\u2019s time on market, its mileage against the typical band for its year, and its condition as your leverage once you make an offer.<\/p>\n

Which holds its value better in the UAE?<\/h2>\n

Using the 2026 median asking price as the starting point, here is what each model is actually asking at different ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Age<\/th>\nPatrol retains<\/th>\nLand Cruiser retains<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

10 years<\/td>\n22%<\/td>\n40%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The two cars track each other for the first year. After that they separate sharply, and the separation happens in years two and three: the Patrol drops 40 points of value between one and three years old, the Land Cruiser drops 14.<\/p>\n

Turned into an annual cost, buying at the current new price and selling at the current used price for that age works out at roughly:<\/p>\n
