At the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show, Nissan released a new generation of Pathfinder, which is built on the same platform as the new generation of Infiniti QX60, and the overall positioning is lower than that of Tule we are familiar with. On the surface, it does not have much to do with us, but recently, Dongfeng Nissan's dealers revealed that this new car will be domestically produced this year and is expected to be officially listed before the end of the year.
Nissan Pathfinder is the fifth generation of the product, positioning medium and large SUVs, the appearance, the new car uses the latest family design, the front is the classic "V-Motion" design language, the new split headlight group looks very recognizable, but I personally feel that the layout seems to be somewhat unreasonable, the overall relatively high, the following appears to be somewhat abrupt, the appearance is not particularly outstanding.
The lines on the side of the body are straight and tough, and the design of the two-color body with the suspension roof is also close to the trend, but I don't know whether it will be retained after the future domestic production, or only high-end models are two-color, domestic well, everyone understands.
In terms of body size, the length, width and height of the Pathfinder are 5004/1961/1768 (mm) respectively, and the wheelbase is 2900mm, which may be extended after domestic production.
In terms of the rear, the Pathfinder adopts a rounded and full design, and the slender taillights adopt a horizontal and straight design, and the visual effect and recognition after lighting are very good. The lower enclosure is very heavy, the design is silver and black, it looks not only delicate but also very imposing.
Nissan Pathfinder's interior also adopts the latest family design, the overall look is very simple, mainly based on practicality, equipped with a new style of three-spoke steering wheel, 12.3-inch full LCD instrument panel + 10.8-inch HUD head-up display and 9-inch floating central control screen, in this era of large screen prevalence, this size lacks some competitiveness.
In terms of configuration, Nissan Pathfinder is equipped with a NissanConnect multimedia system, support for AppleCarPlay and Android Auto's mobile phone interconnection, WiFi hotspot, etc., are more conventional "content", mainly practical, the sense of technology is not particularly ideal, at least at the moment. In addition, the Nissan Pathfinder has a seven-seat layout of 2+2+3, which is the same as the new Infiniti QX60.
The overseas version of Pathfinder is equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine with a maximum power of 288 horsepower and a maximum torque of 351 Nm, which is matched by a 9-speed manual transmission. The following focus is on, according to Dongfeng Nissan dealers revealed that although the future domestic version of the Pathfinder and the overseas version of the same 9AT, but the engine will be replaced with 2.0T four-cylinder, that high probability is the QX60 on the one, the maximum power of 252 horsepower, the maximum torque of 376 Nm, you can refer to it.
Summary of the full text
Nissan Pathfinder's first four generations of models have not been officially introduced into the country, the fourth generation is only in the parallel import car dealership has a small number of car sources, now the fifth generation of models have been closer and closer to us, why at this time domestic production is also a reason, first of all, the domestic 300,000-level large 7-seat SUV market heat is not bad, Nissan is also seeing profitable, and then the new generation of X-Trail after the listing of the performance is very bad (what reason everyone should understand), Nissan needs one or more blockbuster cars to win back users, and Nissan Pathfinder is one of them, and a new generation of Qashqais that will be launched this year.
Looking at the competitors, Nissan Pathfinder has three main opponents after domestic production - Volkswagen Tuon, Ford Explorer and Buick Encore Banner, these three cars rank in the top three in the sales of joint venture large-scale SUVs (non-luxury brands), the average monthly sales are at the level of 2000-3000 vehicles, compared to them, Nissan Pathfinder's appearance, interior texture and configuration are actually not much advantage, mainly depending on the pricing after the future domestic production, If the price is very powerful, you can still break your wrist with them.
