Nissan Pathfinder Specs and Road Test 2014

Nissan Pathfinder Specs and Road Test 2014 - Just a few several weeks ago CarShowroom.com.au was in attractive Del Mar, Florida – just around the area from Car Style in La Jolla where the unique Car Pathfinder was developed under the management of recommended automobile developer Jerry Hirshberg. Periods have modified - Del Mar-based Mr Hirshberg is now a world-famous specialist dealing with bamboo bedding and the Pathfinder has progressed from its unique appearance at the cutting-edge of the 1980's SUV conspiracy tailor-made for the southeast Californian way of life.

The all-new Car Pathfinder provides seven chairs, family-friendly internal area and a curvaceous look which is a marked comparison to the unique which was all directly collections, strong, challenging and completely set-up for a end of the 7 days browsing vacation.  Now, Pathfinder’s entry-level couldn’t consider sand dune generating as it’s two-wheel-drive (like the competing Chevy Kluger generating the top part wheels).

But Pathfinder maintains a Northern United states weblink – it’s produced at Nissan’s world-famous place in Smyrna, Tn.

With six protection bags, such as front-to-rear layer protection bags, the all-new Car Pathfinder has the highest possible five-star protection ranking from ANCAP. And that’s very essential for family members.

Seems Nissan’s Costs Division also had family members in thoughts and the comprehensively-equipped seven-seat Pathfinder begins from $39,990. 


Nissan Pathfinder Overview

This is the all-new new creation Car Pathfinder and it’s taken a new route – the past ‘tough-roader’ has given way to a contemporary look and a light and portable monocoque body system. It’s a enhanced seven-seater more attuned to the needs of urban-based family members than for chiselling out a new direction off the Strzelecki Monitor.

CarShowroom.com.au has just invested per 7 days in the mid-grade ST-L design Car Pathfinder 2WD which sells for $50,290.



Over the entry-level ST design, the ST-L as examined benefits accessories such as set cut, a cup front part sunroof and spectacular cup back again ceiling, power modification (rake/reach) for the leader, warmed and power-adjustable front part chairs and some additional external firefox. 


Nissan Pathfinder Engine


Power comes from Nissan’s VQ35 3.5-litre, six-cylinder fuel motor with 190kW/325Nm on-tap.

Drive is via Nissan’s next-generation X-tronic CVT automated gearbox. We must say this is one of the best CVTs we’ve motivated with intelligent function and none of the ‘droning’ which can be frustrating with these ‘no-shifting’ vehicles.



Fuel consumption for the 2WD Car Pathfinder is ranked at 9.9l/100kms. Car says it decided to generate the top part tires of 2WD designs for better energy consumption and, remarkably, the in the same way front-driven (although bigger 3.5-litre capacity) Chevy Kluger lags behind with energy consumption ranked at 11.0l/100kms. 


Nissan Pathfinder The Interior

Compared to past years, high-class and area are plentiful within the all-new Car Pathfinder (well this is an SUV developed mainly for the Northern United states market). As for family-friendliness – how do ten cup owners, six container owners, four 12V energy sites and an under-floor storage space section behind the third row chairs sound?

Up front part, Nissan’s new angled device group (Altima cars have a identical set-up) provides a contemporary 3D look with awesome design. A lot of modification for the chair and contemporary leader (electric in the ST-L we tested) indicates even lanky motorists can be covered although we discovered the chair back again to be a tad difficult.



Audio is a six-speaker program with the regular connection.

We liked Nissan’s ‘EZ Flex’ sitting program (the second row chairs have a slide function) and ‘Latch and Glide Technology’ (a handle triggers that slide operate for quick accessibility the third row). This innovative concept is just one example of the simple close relatives way of life in the Pathfinder.

Nissan Pathfinder also beats many in this group with its freight area even when completely packed with individuals. But flip the second and third row chairs and you have a large 2,259-litres of area to complete.



For load-carrying flexibility, the second row chair split-folds 60/40 and third row 50/50.


Nissan Pathfinder Exterior & Styling

Nissan Pathfinder ‘purists’ were no question stunned when the all-new design showed up – gone is the ‘chunkiness’ which has been a Pathfinder characteristic, modified with a contemporary, natural look which combinations shapes and a higher stomach to provide a highly effective on-road existence.



At the top part, the new-generation Car grill with the huge logo and shiny firefox brings together with the currently-trendy huge, angular front lights to provide a highly effective first impact. This is strengthened by the huge, rounded fender, huge awesome air consumption and the ST-L’s incorporated fog lighting .

From the part is where the all-new Car Pathfinder really distinguishes itself from past years – there’s actually significant shapes around the top part bumpers and a highly effective part personality range mixing into more shapes around the back again wheelarches. The stomach is great (provides a more significant look) however the increasing third screen is a minor throwback to past years.

And the back again perspective is again adorned by shapes for the end gate entrance and screen. Modern high-mounted tail-lights are completely developed.

Our ST-L design Car Pathfinder rode on 18-inch metal tires (range-topping Ti ratings 20-inch alloys).


Nissan Pathfinder On The Road

Luckily the Car Pathfinder is a family-oriented seven-seater because our ST-L 2WD was known as on for plenty of close relatives haulin’ and week day commuter perform during its 7 days in the CarShowroom.com.au garage area. From getting the group to end of the 7 days game to the beginning morning hours 70kms travel to manchester international terminal, our Car Pathfinder signed a lot of kilometers and was up to the process with convenience.

And ‘ease’ is an apt de £ó£?£ò£é£e£?ion for way of life in Nissan’s seven-seater. Visiting down the highway and mixing into the peak-hour grind was managed with aplomb – plenty of energy from the 3.5-litre V6 for consolidating and ruling (aided by that effective CVT) and awesome improvement at rate.

And the CarShowroom.com.au juniors plus their partners and an increase of wearing devices for netball and football was quickly achieved thanks to the Pathfinder’s numerous internal area and freight potential. It’s known as ‘practicality’ and the Pathfinder has it in bucket-loads (unlike some competing seven-seaters).

Over our high-speed hill streets analyze cycle, the Car Pathfinder was a tad too smooth for our preferences – all very secure and foreseeable but recognizable ‘diving’ and ‘squatting’ under braking/acceleration as well as recognizable body system move. And - a bit amazingly - on wet streets, the top part tires were a bit too eager to rotate before the grip management proved helpful its miracle.

Perhaps the revocation calibration for Northern The united states needs some fettling for Australia circumstances and preferences.  


Nissan Pathfinder Issues

Nissan needs to provide some of the distinct generating characteristics from the Juke into the bigger Pathfinder.


Nissan Pathfinder Verdict

As an all-rounder costing $39,990, the Car Pathfinder ST 2WD is an attractive program to see relatives members customers. Apparent internal design along with enormous area indicates this factor provides on functionality and value-for-money.


And in an era of four-cylinder this and turbocompresseur that, it’s awesome to just have a familiarly-smooth and highly effective V6 under the hood. 

You also get the feeling – supported by years of Car SUVs – that the Pathfinder will take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’ for a lengthy, lengthy time.



Nissan Pathfinder The Competition

Although a tad more costly at $51,490 for the comparative 2WD seven-seat KX-S design, Toyota’s Kluger has just a bit more impact from its 201kW/337Nm V6. It’s a Chevy so you know Kluger is magnificently developed and packed with kit (but so too is the all-new Car Pathfinder).


At $44,525, Mazda’s front-drive CX-9 ‘Classic’ is a comparative deal but do examine the specific requirements. Not as space-efficient within as the Pathfinder, the CX-9 is certainly all-class and we still like the looks.

Dynamically, Ford’s rear-wheel-drive Area TX is the choose of the collection. But it’s nowhere near as huge as the Pathfinder within. You’ll need $54,990 for the equivalently-specified Titanium 2WD (rear wheels), the Area also provides under the hood with 195kW/391Nm from Ford’s erstwhile 4.0-litre V6.
