Not long ago, some news came out on the Internet, saying that according to the information of Dongfeng Nissan dealers, the new generation of Nissan Pathfinder models will be domestically listed in 2022. For the car, the introduction of domestic is also long-rumored news, after all, its brother model new Infiniti QX60 has taken the lead in opening pre-sales in China, for Dongfeng Nissan, the launch of Pathfinder is only a shell change, not a difficult thing.
As can be seen from the declaration chart, in terms of appearance, the new car is of course basically the same as the overseas version, the front face adopts Nissan's latest family style, and due to the increase in body size, the V-Motion large-mouth grille has become wider and more visually impactful. The left and right sides adopt a unique special-shaped headlight structure, and the slender daytime travel light strips at both ends are integrated with the flat rectangular headlight group, and are not completely separated like the new X-Jun, which is very recognizable.
However, from the picture, the headlight group does not seem to have any lens configuration, which may have a certain impact on lighting performance. In addition, the front bumper part adopts a fairly simple design, and the trapezoidal lower grille with silver front lip is in line with Nissan's latest family style.
On the side of the body, the new car has the iconic slender lines of medium and large SUVs, while the stout C-pillar also has a special intersection design, of course, the suspended roof and other elements will not be absent, the overall appearance is stylish and atmospheric. In the rear part, the new car uses the popular through-line taillights, with thick red light strips and white turn signal groups layered up and down, and the center is connected by black decorative strips, and the Nissan logo is inlaid in the center, showing the arrogance of large-size models. At the same time, the rear bumper part has a rather complex protective plate decoration, especially the large size of the silver panel, which is very eye-catching.
In the interior part, although there is no exposure in the patent diagram, according to the overseas version, the new car will also adopt Nissan's latest family style, floating large-size LCD screen and full instrument panel to form a dual-screen system, a new style of flat-bottom steering wheel, exquisite electronic barrier rod is not absent, while for a wider body, the entire center console is also thicker and wider, in line with its own positioning of the American large-size SUV.
Of course, due to the huge size of the car with a length of more than 5 meters and a wheelbase of 2900 mm, the performance of the three-row seat space will also be a major selling point of itself. In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 3.5L V6 engine in the US market, and the domestic version will certainly not continue this power, it should be equipped with a 2.0T four-cylinder engine, the maximum power is 252 horsepower, matching the 9AT gearbox, which is basically consistent with the new QX60.
Considering the overall positioning of the Japanese product brand, the price of the new car should be much cheaper than the QX60, and the consumers who were dissuaded by the pre-sale price of the latter may have a more reasonable choice, and what kind of performance can be done in the future is very worth looking forward to.
