Nissan Pathfinder Facelift Spy Photos

Despite the car’s giant thirst and huge dimensions, the Nissan Pathfinder is a relatively successful car even in times of high energy costs and CO2-discussions. The Japanese make has therefore decided to give the car a very minor mid-life facelift only, a hardly visible remake of the front and rear bumpers – and maybe a slight change of the grille. We can’t spot modifications to the grille yet, but it’s the heavy disguise there that makes us guess. All the rest of the exterior plus the car’s underpinnings, mechanics, engines and the interior will be left unchanged until the new model will arrive some day after 2012.

Because while all the other jap manufacts are going conservative and boring, nissan is going sportier and exciting.

Its powerful!!! It has the 0-60 time better than most cars. It can tow whatever boat u want. It feels better than most suv's that i have driven. If I had a boat, I would probably get that car.

I agree it looks better than years of old , i dont think its anymore powerful than a land rover disco , 0-60 in an SUV im sure thats what people look at when towing a boat ! You say about towing Any boat i want , well thats a strong claim to make without any evidence that it actually can tow them.

Pzigly you sure are a dickhead! the Pathfinder is indeed a boring ugly box. Go have a look @ Mitsubishi's Triton ute and the upcoming Challenger 4wd to see a good looking stylish Jap car.

Why am I a dickhead, because I like a car? Are u a moron? If u ever drove the car or seen it up close, its not boring. It still manages to look good eventhough it is made for utility. U can even drive it off road and fit 7 in it. and its not expensive.

OK it's obvious your a Nissan fan (nothing wrong with that)Yes i have drove a Pathfinder and its nothing special to drive..But it seems you can't handle someone having a different opinion to your own other ppl besides me think it's a box & you seen to attack anyone that says the slighest thing about Nissans did you even bother to look @ the Triton ute and Challenger? hardly boring & conservative.

uve just driven the pathfinder but not driven it hard and the new one is 10x better than the old one. Any car u drive normally will feel ok. Its when u ring its neck to find out if its worth it. Also i agreed that it was a box but most FULL size suv's are. The cars u are talking about are not in the pathfinders class. all of my comments stated fact and no opinion. I might like nissan but I dont let that get in the way of facts. If someone says a comment based on nonsense about a car i like yes I will defend it by fact.

I don't know what country you,re in but here in Australia the Triton & soon to be released Challenger competes with Navara & Pathfinder twins. The Pathfinder i drove was a turbo-diesel which runs out of grunt way too soon at 2.5 litres its way too small for such a big car And back to your original comment you said (ALL THE OTHER) Jap cars are conservative & boring compared to Nissans i think the Triton & Challenger are not.

We also get the 4.0 litre V6 just not the petrol guzzling V8

it only guzzles about 2 mpg more. If i had a boat I would either get the pathfinder or if im making money, I would get the infinity QX56 (8,900lbs) towing and room for 7 or 8 people.

Only 2mpg more fuel huh. so does that mean the V8 has good economy or the V6 has sh!t economy. As for the Infinity we don't have them in Aus anymore they died a very quick death in the early 90s
