Nissan’s iconic large SUV will be available in its new guise locally next year, and the new model introduces a host of new technologies, an all-new nine-speed transmission, and debuts a customisable seating configuration that can be delivered with eight seats, or with second-row captain’s chairs.

There’s a distinctive new design too that includes a V-motion grille with a three-slot grille incorporated as an homage to the original Pathfinder, C-shaped headlights and floating roofline. Standard LED headlights include slim upper Daytime Running Lights, and the C-pillar has a structural SUV look that allows the use of two-tone paint – a first for Pathfinder.

At the rear, the wide-aspect LED taillights are slimmer than the previous design, with the ‘boxed out’ tailgate harks back to the first Pathfinder.

A total of 11 colour combinations will be offered, including four new two-tone treatments.

Power comes from a 3.5-litre Direct Injection V6 engine, matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission. All 4WD drive models feature Nissan’s Intelligent 4WD with seven-position Drive and Terrain Mode Selector.

An all-new infotainment system features include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone charging pad, and digital Intelligent Around View Monitor.
