About how hot the tank 500 car is, I think there is no need to repeat it too much, so we will talk about something different today, for example, the emergence of the tank 500 will give the Japanese car the mainstream luxury hardcore SUV market, what kind of impact.
Looking at most of the luxury hardcore off-road vehicles on the market, it can be found that they mostly come from Japanese car companies, or to be more detailed, they mainly come from toyota and Nissan. Toyota needless to say, Prado, Land Cruiser and other models are famous, reliability and retention rate are the top high, so it is recognized and welcomed by many consumers. As for Nissan, although the Tourone car is relatively niche, it is also a non-negligible presence in the off-road circle, and it is also the favorite of the local tycoons in the Middle East, I believe that after saying this, you also have a preliminary understanding of Nissan Tule.
The biggest advantage of the tank 500 is its close price to the people, the price of more than 300,000 with the powertrain of 3.0T+9AT, as well as the strong off-road performance brought by the non-load-bearing body, three locks, etc., so that more and more luxury hardcore SUV players will set their sights on the tank 500. Then we all know that Toyota and Nissan have always been tonal "it is impossible to reduce prices", and we can only push new cars to maintain brand competition.
So in the face of the aggressive tank 500, Nissan finally can't sit still, there is news that Nissan or will be in 2022 will be the cash pathfinder (US version) officially introduced into the country, positioning or will be higher than Nissan Loulan, directly with the tank 500 benchmark.
Judging from the overseas real pictures, the 2022 Pathfinder adopts the Nissan family design language, the overall hardcore style is quite a bit of the shadow of Tule, the front face is full of aura, split headlights, and highly recognizable. The design of the light groups on both sides is similar to that of Tule, further strengthening the hardcore atmosphere.
On the side of the body, the pathfinder's aura is very strong, 5004mm× 1979mm× 1778mm body size brings a good visual effect, and the wheelbase of 2901mm has more advantages than the tank 500. In addition, the car comes standard with 19-inch wheels and a 22-inch wheel top, which is significantly more sincere than the 17-inch wheels that start from the tank 500.
In terms of the tail, the shape of the Pathfinder is equally hardcore, and the top-down layout is very solid and layered. The split taillights on both sides are equipped with a black trim strip in the middle, creating a penetrating taillight effect that further stretches the transverse visual effect. In addition, the spelling "PATHFINDER" with the name of the car under the car logo further highlights the high-end sense of the whole vehicle.
In the interior part, we can see the strong "Qijun flavor" at a glance from the pathfinder, which is also the current Nissan family design, suspension central control screen, electronic gear rod, full LCD instrument panel and other configurations, to a certain extent, improve the sense of luxury and technology in the carriage, but compared to the tank 500, Japanese car companies still need to work hard in this regard.
In terms of power, the American version of the Pathfinder is equipped with a 3.5L V6 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 212 kW and a peak torque of 351N·m. The transmission system will match the 9-speed manual transmission and is equipped with a four-wheel drive system. However, considering Dongfeng Nissan's tense "double points" now, everyone must not expect this 3.5L V6 big self-absorption, the new car is likely to use the 2.0T VC-TUBRO engine on the sky, at most to squeeze some more horsepower out. I believe that with the lesson of "the desert is really fun", Nissan will be more cautious about the true hardcore SUV of the Pathfinder.
Write at the end
In general, the real positioning of the Pathfinder is actually a luxury hardcore SUV that focuses on urban road control and has certain off-road performance, because it is not a non-load-bearing body and does not have a "three-lock" configuration. But to tell the truth, how many people are really rushing to buy a Land Cruiser and Tank 500 for off-road performance, and more is not for the word "feelings"?
So really speaking, the advantages of the Pathfinder and the tank 500 competition have two points, one is Nissan's long-term fine tradition - ride comfort; the other is its pricing, combined with the US version of the pricing of 34,500 US dollars (about 220,000 yuan), if the starting price after the introduction of the domestic control is controlled at about 300,000, it is indeed quite fragrant, what do you think?
