In the 7-seat SUV swept the country today, Nissan still has not purchased a domestic 7-seat SUV for the country, looking at the Toyota Highlander next door to make a lot of money, is Nissan not at all excited? Otherwise, nissan's 7-seater SUVs will be coming soon.
Nissan's new Pathfinder
Recently, some media learned from Dongfeng Nissan dealers that Nissan will be ready to introduce the medium and large SUV built in the North American market - Pathfinder, and it will be produced in 2022 and is expected to be listed at the end of this year.
The Nissan Pathfinder, which is now sold in the North American market, is already the fifth generation model, although this car is relatively unfamiliar to us, but its third-generation model has also been introduced to China in the form of parallel imports, and the price was as high as 400,000 yuan that year. The new Pathfinder is based on infiniti's new generation of QX60 the same platform to build, from the perspective of platform positioning, it is expected that the price of domestic introduction in the future is not cheap.
This generation of Pathfinder is very young, we can see that it also adopts the new X-Trail with the same "V-Motion" design language, less of the old smell of the past, more of a delicate and urban style, and because Pathfinder is relatively large, Nissan's set of "V-Motion" design elements have also increased, in general, the sense of momentum is its main model highlights.
It's always said it's big, how big is that? The new Pathfinder is 5004/1961/1768mm in length, 1961/1768mm in length, 2900mm in wheelbase, which is a larger lap than the Highlander, and closer to the data of the Ford Explorer and Volkswagen Tuon.
From its interior, the theme of this generation of Pathfinder is to go greasy, we can no longer see that kind of American "big old" design, cancel the previous four-spoke steering wheel, but also equipped with a 9-inch suspension central control screen, 12.3-inch full LCD dashboard and 10.8-inch HUD head-up display, Nissan at this time node to introduce or very correct, if it is the previous generation of models, I believe that the interior design must not be accepted by Chinese consumers.

Nissan Pathfinder provides a 2+2+3 7-seat layout in North America, I believe that the future domestic production is also this configuration, while the new Pathfinder also provides a 3.5L V6 large-displacement engine in North America, with 288 horsepower and 351 Nm torque output, matching 9AT gearbox, plus four-wheel drive and its own variety of road conditions mode, facing the complex environment is very calm, which is also the reason for its popularity in the North American market.
Of course, such a large displacement to come to the country is certainly not realistic, the Dongfeng Nissan dealer revealed that the future introduction of the domestic version should only use a 2.0T four-cylinder engine, matching the 9AT transmission, we guess it is likely to be the same engine of Nissan Tianlai.
In the future, its opponents will certainly be inseparable from Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer and Volkswagen Tuon and other models, but from the current product information, do you think that after Nissan introduces domestic production, the new Pathfinder is competitive?
