Many will remember bright promotional video from Nissan, in which were shown the new "Pathfinder", "Nissan Murano", "gain" and, of course, "X-trail". The manufacturer has positioned their off-road vehicles, like ATVs. They are able to cope with any terrain. Moreover, all cars have an excellent technical equipment. Is it really so? Let's consider the Nissan Pathfinder.
History
For the First time the Japanese SUV appeared in 1986. Under the name “Nissan Pathfinder” the car was only known in the us market. In other countries, the SUV called the Terrano. Initially the car was released in 3-door version, the more practical 5-door version appeared only 3 years later.
Initially, the SUV was a kind of coarse a car with sloppy design. However, the Japanese can boast of excellent characteristics of permeability, transfer box and rear differential lock and a powerful enough engine. For this and fell in love with "Nissan Pathfinder" all over the world.
The Second generation car appeared only 10 years later – in 1996. Now Pathfinder had a pleasant appearance. Under the hood is installed 3.3-litre V6. Well, the main “chip” the new (at the time) was the incredible number of electronic systems, which have undoubtedly improved patency.
Today on the world market represented the third generation of cars "Nissan Pathfinder". The Japanese built a completely new car based on a pickup Nissan Navara. The presentation took place in 2005. Modern SUV from Japan became more powerful and markedly increased in size. Unlike his "ancestors" in the new SUV can accommodate an extra row of seats.
Now Nissan Pathfinder takes place between the Murano and the Patrol model in the lineup.
Design
The exterior of the car is very attractive. Modern design, menacing appearance, smooth lines – that's what "Nissan Pathfinder". Photos help to verify this. Also has exterior of an SUV and some practical details. For example, the Japanese have not forgotten to equip Pathfinder special footrests, which make it easy to get into beauty. In addition, on the roof rack. Using them to carry cargo on the roof. Now salon. Nothing special about it. However, in the eyes, immediately Throws an incredible amount of different buttons and knobs. It tells about the equipment and technology of an SUV. But there are some downsides. For example, it is illogical buttons that control the climate control and heated seats. They are located at the bottom of the middle panel and overlap of the gearshift lever. Not very clear and the design of the glove box. More precisely, glove compartment – two of them. It would be convenient if they were combined.
Space inside the car is more than enough. Well about the comfort and can not speak. It should be clear that this SUV feels like a fortress. Modern, well-equipped fortress.
Specifications
There are five options of engine: 3 turbo diesel (2.5-liter, 174 HP; 2.5-liter, 190 HP; 3 litre, 231 HP) and 2 diesel (a 4-liter V6 and 5.6-liter V8). Together with the engines installed 5-speed “automatic” or a 6-speed “mechanics”. The cost of cars "Nissan Pathfinder" starts from 40 thousand dollars. Will soon be the emergence of the 4th generation Pathfinder SUV.
