Paving the way with the new X-Trail, Nissan Pathfinder will be domestically produced, and what volkswagen Tuang
A few days ago, we learned through relevant channels that Dongfeng Nissan will plan to introduce the new domestic Nissan Pathfinder, which was unveiled at the 2021 Los Angeles International Auto Show, and has not been introduced through official channels before, and the introduction of the car is undoubtedly a good news for the domestic automobile consumer market.
Background analysis
As shown in the figure, for the 2020 model of Nissan Pathfinder Pathfinder, the car has not been introduced into the domestic market for sale before, so everyone looks a little strange, but after the release of the new Nissan Pathfinder, it is not difficult to see that the car is more like the new XPEN of the big one, the new car is based on the new Infiniti QX60 with the same platform, positioned in the 7-seat medium and large SUV, this positioning is consistent with the Volkswagen Tourone, So it's not hard to guess that the price of the Nissan Pathfinder pathfinder may be high, and I personally guess that the starting price of the car should reach about 300,000 yuan.
Product analysis
The new Pathfinder has been developed for five generations, the appearance of Nissan's latest family design, V-Motion design of the front face is very recognizable, the front of the car is very heavy, very similar to the new Nissan X-Trail, looks like a large new X-Trail. The new Pathfinder on the side of the body looks very slender, the overall silhouette appears to be tough, and under the two-tone body design, it creates a visual effect of a suspended roof.
As a 7-seat medium and large SUV, the new Pathfinder's length, width and height are 5004/1961/1768 mm, and the wheelbase is 2900 mm, compared to Tuin, Explorer and other competitive models, the size of the new Pathfinder is not dominant, but the domestic version has not yet been officially unveiled, so it is not known whether the domestic version will be extended.
Coming to the car, it will also be obvious that the new Pathfinder has adopted Nissan's new family-style interior and layout, the overall look and the new X-Trail has a lot of similarities, but the new Pathfinder's central control screen is not large, while retaining a lot of physical buttons near the center console, which is also the difference between the two cars in positioning. In addition, the new Pathfinder is equipped with a 12.3-inch full LCD instrument, a 10.8-inch HUD head-up display and a 9-inch central control screen, with a new electronic shift lever, the overall atmosphere of technology in the car is in place.
As a 7-seat SUV, the new Pathfinder uses a 2+2+3 7-seat layout, such a seat layout can also bring more spacious seating space for the first two rows, and it is more convenient to enter the third row, but the 2+3+2 layout is not very convenient, especially when entering the third row, I personally still think it is good for this design, I believe most people also prefer this design, but after all, considering that the wheelbase is only two meters nine, the third row of legroom should not be too generous.
In terms of power, the overseas version of the new Pathfinder is equipped with a 3.5L V6 self-priming engine, but the domestic version will certainly not be equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine, but will use a new VC-TURBO 2.0T engine, which is likely to be equipped with the same powertrain of the new Infiniti QX60, that is, 2.0T+9AT power combination, the maximum power is 252 horsepower, and the peak torque is 376 Nm. In terms of the power of the car, it is more than enough for a medium and large SUV, after all, Tuon also has a 2.0T version with a maximum power of 186 horsepower, so on the power, there is no need to worry about the car, mainly the actual driving experience.
Editor's Comments:
The arrival of the new Pathfinder, undoubtedly further enriched the Nissan family's SUV camp, from knowing that the car will be introduced to the country, in fact, it is not difficult to see, the new X-Trail is also paving the way for the new Pathfinder, after all, the new X-Trail although the performance in all aspects, but it is a three-cylinder, sales are also greatly discounted far less than the old X-Gun brilliant, so the arrival of the new Pathfinder, but also Dongfeng Nissan wants to make up for sales, But if that were the case, the car would be cheaper, but it wouldn't be known until the new Pathfinder pathfinder was officially launched.
