Nissan Pathfinder (2005-) Review

Category: Large 4x4s 3 out of 5

Summary of the Nissan Pathfinder (2005-)

Price Range: No data available

Assets

Great looks, loads of kit, seven-seat practicality, feels tough enough for anything.

Drawbacks

Suspension struggles to iron out poor road surfaces, engine sounds cruder than it is.

Verdict

A go-anywhere, do-anything tough nut along the lines of the Mitsubishi Shogun and Toyota Land Cruiser. Just don't go expecting a Land Rover Discovery.

Review

Reliability and Quality4 out of 5

For a big, functional workhorse, the Pathfinder is composed and comfortable, and feels as though it would survive a lot of abuse. It's very close to the Toyota Land Cruiser and Mitsubishi Shogun in that respect, but far less plush and sophisticated than alternatives such as the Land Rover Discovery, which is slightly bigger and significantly more expensive.

Built in Spain alongside the equally rugged Navara pick-up, the Pathfinder has proved itself to be a reliable, trustworthy 4x4.
