Recently, Nissan released a new generation of medium and large SUV——-Pathfinder. Compared with the best-selling models such as Qi Jun and Hacker, perhaps many consumers are not familiar with Nissan, a medium and large SUV. In fact, the previous generation Pathfinder was introduced to China as an importer through Zhengzhou Nissan Channel, and its Chinese name was Pathfinder.

It is precisely because of the import status and the positioning of medium and large SUVs that the price is not cheap, which also makes many consumers unfamiliar with it and the sales volume is not satisfactory.

In fact, in the North American market, Nissan Pathfinder is also a popular SUV model among consumers and one of the oldest models in the Nissan SUV family. Its first generation model can be traced back to 1986, and it was born to compete with Chevrolet Blazer, Jeep Cherokee and other models in the North American market.

At present, Dongfeng Nissan's new car plan includes this medium and large SUV, and we guess this car is a new generation of pathfinder. Judging from the overseas models released this time, the new car adopts Nissan's brand-new family-style design, especially the front face design is very similar to the new generation of Qi Jun which will be launched soon, but the headlight design is different, and the LED daytime running light adopts the "C" shape design.

As for the interior, the design style of the new car is similar to that of a new generation of Qi Jun, with a sense of luxury and technology. In addition to the LCD instrument and the suspended central control panel, the new car also provides technical configurations such as electronic pull rods. At the same time, the use of solid wood panels and leather materials is just right, which makes the interior of the new car more elegant.

At present, in the North American market, the new generation Pathfinder provides a layout of 7 or even 8 seats. Thanks to the large size of the new car, the length, width and height are 5004/ 1979/ 1778mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 290 1mm, which is not only larger than the previous generation, but also larger than Highlander.

In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a classic 3.5LV6 engine with a maximum power of 284 HP and a peak torque of 35 1 Nm. In terms of transmission system, the previous generation CVT gearbox was cancelled and replaced by a 9-speed automatic gearbox. Of course, if made in China, the new car will be equipped with a 2.0TVC-Turbo variable compression ratio engine. In addition, the new car also offers two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions.

Looking back at the history of Nissan Pathfinder, several generations of products have directly adopted the chassis of Nissan pickup truck models, so they are also outstanding in off-road performance, so they are also called "Little Toure". However, the new generation of Pathfinder has changed back to a load-bearing body, and the luxury and technology of the interior indicate that the new car will be more inclined to the urban SUV.

However, even for medium and large urban SUVs, the new generation Pathfinder still has certain off-road performance. It is equipped with seven driving modes: standard, sports, economy, snow, sand, mud/rutting and traction. In traction mode, it can provide up to 6000 pounds of traction to meet more car scenes.

With the increasing domestic demand for seven-seat SUVs, Dongfeng Nissan will introduce this new car into China with a high probability. By then, the competition in the domestic medium and large SUV market will become increasingly fierce, and a new generation of Pathfinder will further enhance the brand influence of Dongfeng Nissan.
