At first, the Nissan Pathfinder had only three doors, and only in 1989 they began to produce 5-door modifications. The interior of the car was made from inexpensive velour material. Although, if desired, one could find a more expensive option with leather trim. It could accommodate no more than 5 people.
The fourth generation of the Nissan Pathfinder model began to be made at a plant in the United States in 2012. The car is fundamentally different from its predecessor: now, it is not a frame SUV, but a crossover with a monocoque body.
The car has been seriously modified both inside and outside. The technical parameters of the new model are presented by the 3.5-liter V6 engine with 265 horsepower paired with the latest version of the Xtronic CVT continuously variable transmission. There are front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions. The suspension installed on the Pathfinder is completely independent: front – MacPherson strut, rear – multi-link.
