Jeddah, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – January 18, 2026: The Hail Region Development Authority, in collaboration with Nissan Saudi Arabia, has concluded the “Winter in Hail” experience, an on-ground initiative designed to explore the region’s natural and cultural diversity while demonstrating the capabilities of Nissan vehicles in real-world driving conditions.

Throughout the experience, Nissan’s SUV lineup supported participants across a range of routes and terrains. The Nissan Pathfinder, equipped with an intelligent 4x4 system and multiple drive modes, delivered confident performance across varied conditions. The Nissan X-Terra’s practical design proved well-suited for diverse terrain, while the Nissan X-Trail offered a balanced driving experience combining comfort, versatility, and ease of mobility.

The experience also celebrated the region’s distinctive nature and cultural identity, from expansive desert landscapes and striking rock formations to heritage sites that embody the historical depth of Hail.
