In this article, we will focus on real, full-size SUV that has deep roots and takes its beginning in 80-ies. This “Nissan Pathfinder”. The machine is available in several generations. We consider the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. This SUV is in 51-m body, mass-produced from 2005 to 2014 (in 13th was a deep restyling).

Appearance

The Car is notably distinguished by its expressive forms and minimalist design. This is a real man's jeep with brutal lines and massive wheel arches. The front of the car wears a wide chrome grille and huge bumper with round foglights halogen. Basic optics – xenon. Judging by the reviews, it shines pretty good. The roof on the SUV – almost smooth, with solid roof rails for fixing additional aerobics. You can also install on a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder bump on the trunk or spoiler.

Dimensions, ground clearance

The Car has impressive dimensions. So, the length of the body is of 4.81 meters, width – of 1.85, height – 1,78 m. The magnitude of the wheelbase – 2853 mm. But what is most interesting is the ground clearance. The ground clearance of the new “Nissan Pathfinder” 2013 is 23 cm. And it is based on the factory foot pegs. The machine has a nice angle of arrival and departure. This parameter is 33 and 27 degrees respectively. As noted by reviews, 2013 Nissan Pathfinder is able to overcome Brody to 45 centimeters.

Interior

Landing in the car is quite comfortable thanks to additional handles and wide foot pegs. Inside the SUV is no less brutal than outside. The car is quite spacious. There is enough space to accommodate up to six passengers. By default, the cabin has two rows of seats. However, the car can be retrofitted to third, which will be located in the trunk. The front panel is distinguished by its massiveness. The cabin is a lot of rough shapes and lines. The wheel – a three-spoke, with a small set of buttons. Instrument panel – arrow. On the wide Central console has a multimedia display with navigation. Nearby is a CD-radio and air conditioning installation.

Are There any disadvantages in the cabin «Nissan Pathfinder” 2013? Nissan Pathfinder R51 in the back (like its predecessors) does not have high quality finishing materials. The plastic is quite hard and eventually starts to squeak on bumps. Often the owners of the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder SUV are faced with this problem, as moisture in the cabin. This occurs due to wear of the sealing rubber in the upper racks. As water accumulates usually on the ceiling and significantly spoils the view of the cabin, causing the characteristic signs of drips. Also, the fluid appears in the front passenger footwell. The reason for that is the washer hose to the trunk lid. Need to check his mount and, if necessary, to tighten.

Another malfunction – broken Windows. The SUV can depart the contacts button. Sometimes because of bad contact do not work and seats (and not only adjust, but also electric heating). Diesel “Nissan” very long warm up, a motor stove works noisy. With years of rusting of the tube of the air conditioner. The latter are in a rather vulnerable spot – underneath. Consequently, they are substantially susceptible to corrosion.

The Trunk

If we talk about the seven-seat version because of the extra row of seats, the boot capacity will be small – just 300 litres. However, this number can be easily removed. Thus, the volume increases to 515 liters. But that's not all. Second row seats can be folded in different proportions, forming a flat floor.

nissan pathfinder features

As a result, the maximum Luggage capacity of just over two thousand liters. All good, if not a spare. It is on the back do not under the false floor in the trunk. It the Japanese placed underneath. To reach it very difficult, as evidenced by the reviews owners Nissan Pathfinder 3. What else pay attention to the motorists?

Specifications

This vehicle is staffed by several powertrains. Among them was one petrolmotor to four liters and 260 forces, as well as three diesel. The last line opened a 2.5-liter 174 horsepower. The intermediate was 190-horsepower engine with the same displacement. Top in the line “solid” was a three-liter turbocharged engine. What this Nissan Pathfinder specifications? With its volume this engine develops 230 forces of power and 550 Nm of torque.

What the reviews say about diesel engines? They are quite reliable, but only subject to regular maintenance. However, there are instances when down prematurely out of fuel equipment. The reason for that is poor quality diesel fuel. Models under the age of 2010 there was problems with the drop and thrust acceleration dynamics. The issue was resolved by reprogramming the electronic engine control unit. But this is not always the fault went away. In the end they had to change the configuration of the turbine or to repair it. But usually the turbocharger on the “Nissan” problem-goes up to 350 thousand kilometers.

In the diesel Nissan Pathfinder 2.5 there is such an element as a particulate filter. A cause of complaints about its resource. Filter often fails prematurely. Replacement particle element – a rather expensive procedure, so many simply cut out this element and put the emulator. Also on the 2.5-litre cars the engine is susceptible to overheating, which leads the head unit (on the unit while there is a significant crack). As for the three-liter diesel, here owners say the low resource nozzles of the air cooler (intercooler). They fail after 50 thousand kilometers. Eventually the car so the EGR valve. The problem is solved by a plug valve, the EGR, followed by flashing of the ECU. The cost of these works is about twenty thousand. Yourself job difficult to perform - only a HUNDRED.

Problems with gasoline engine

Now about the gasoline engine. Often the owners are faced with the problem of the destruction of the filler of catalyst. Its particles can get into the cylinders and thereby form burrs. So at the end of life (this usually happens on a run of 80 thousand kilometers), the catalytic Converter is removed and replaced by a hollow pipe – to the muzzle. However, this procedure is impossible without flashing the ECU, otherwise the engine will consume more fuel, and on the panel will be lit constantly “Check”. Another petrol “the Nissans” may refuse the fuel level sensor. And it changes along with submersible pump. And for this you need to dismantle the fuel tank. Still on a run of 100 thousand goes down the coupling of the generator and the bearing. Characteristic sign of failure – loud squeaking and banging coming from under the hood.

Dynamics of consumption

Consider the operating characteristics of the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. The Japanese SUV has good acceleration dynamics. So, to hundred car runs after 9-11 seconds depending on the type of engine and box (it will be discussed a little later). The maximum speed ranges from 186 to 200 kilometers per hour. If we talk about fuel consumption, diesel engines consume about nine or ten liters in mixed mode. But the petrol engine is quite voracious, so say the owners. In the combined cycle it consumes at least 15, and in the city and do a figure can reach up to 20 liters.

Drivetrain

The Car is supplied with multiple gear boxes:

  • Five-speed mechanics.
  • Six-speed mechanics.
  • Semidiaphanous automatic.

The First two boxes can be mainly found on the 2.5-liter diesel engines. What they say about manual transmission in "the Nissan Pathfinder 2013" reviews? The owners say that this box is fairly reliable, but there are problems with the clutch. The drive wears out after 70 thousand kilometers, and the original item costs about $ 500.

About the auto-box

She has no serious problems, but the resource it is limited. As shown by operating experience, transmission on the SUV «Nissan Pathfinder” goes no more than 300 thousand kilometers. Then she starts kicking and “rebate”. And this happens even when the timely replacement of ATF fluid, which is changed every 60 thousand kilometers. To the maximum delay repair, owners are advised to avoid frequent slip the clutch and avoid towing heavy cars. Also the auto box doesn't like off-road. This wears out the heatsink, causing the antifreeze gets into ATF fluid. Long to work on a mixture of box will not.

Suspension

The Car is built on frame construction and has a fully independent suspension. Thanks to this, the machine is characterized by high smoothness and good control. If to speak about the reliability of the suspension, this question depends on the operating conditions of the vehicle. So, on the original parts it runs about 100 thousand kilometers. Weak points are the bushings and the strut stabilizer bar. They fail after 40 thousand kilometers. And in case if the machinehas been used off-road, if not 15-20. Ball joints have a service life of 80 thousand. They, along with the change levers that significantly hits the pocket of the owner. Wheel bearings and shock absorbers go up to 120 thousand.

Steering

The Steering is all different. Some repair rail 50 thousand mileage, others do not touch it after 180 thousand. Also, the owners raise complaints about the transfer case. But in most cases the fault is due to improper use. Rasgado cannot be used on paved road. Otherwise unable to receive the vibrations and distinctive rumble. In this case you need to replace the spider of the propeller shaft. If the transfer case starts to leak, you need to change the seals. Last nursed about 120 thousand at a moderate operation.

Summing up

So, we found what has a Nissan Pathfinder 2013 specifications and features. As you can see, the car is not deprived of the “pitfalls”. Therefore, when buying you need to look carefully at the condition of the car (because 51 body type can only be found on the secondary market). Not to buy knowingly defective SUV even “sweet” price. The cost of repair can be up to half the price of the car. Therefore, it is better to take an instance that is on the go.

Summing up, we will note the main advantages of this SUV.

  • Strict and solid design.
  • Good characteristics of permeability.
  • Spacious interior and roomy trunk.
  • Reliable engine.
  • Comfortable suspension.
features pathfinder 3

Among the main minuses it is necessary to allocate:

  • Weak paint.
  • High fuel consumption (for petrol version).
  • Inexpensive finish materials in the cabin.
  • High cost of spare parts.
  • The Limited resource of the automatic transmission.

All these nuances should be considered, intending to buy on the secondary market of the Japanese SUV «Nissan Pathfinder”.
