The Nissan Pathfinder occupies a valuable position in the Nissan SUV range - it's large enough to fit seven in relative comfort, is powered by a strong 3.5L V6 engine, and is desert capable with full-time 4WD.

Those factors are combined with a great level of features and equipment - especially in the Pathfinder SV and SL versions - and a competitive price making the Pathfinder an excellent family choice.

We would recommend the Nissan Pathfinder - especially the safest SL model - as an ideal car for those who need seating for up to seven without the bulk and expense of a bigger SUV such as the Patrol.
