After months of drumming up excitement, Nissan’s fifth-generation 2023 Pathfinder SUV has officially arrived here in Australia, with prices kicking off from $54,190 and stretching out to $80,227 for the range-topper.
Nissan’s latest eight-seat SUV comes packing a 3.5-litre V6 petrol up front producing 202kW/340Nm, with power put to the road via a nine-speed automatic in favour of the previous CVT automatic.
Fuel economy figures for the Pathfinder stand at 10L/100km on the combined cycle for 2WD variants, rising to 10.5L/100km for the AWD lineup, while braked towing figures stand at 2700kg.
The lineup kicks off from $54,190 for the entry-level ST 2WD which comes packed with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a rear-view camera with parking sensors, tri-zone climate control, heated front seats, a 10.8-inch head-up display, 7.0-inch TFT driver’s display and a 9.0-inch infotainment system with digital radio, Android Auto and wireless Apple CarPlay.
Standard safety tech for the entry-level Pathfinder includes a predictive forward collision warning system, blind-spot warning and intervention, lane departure warnings and prevention, rear cross-traffic alerts, adaptive cruise control and nine airbags throughout the cabin.
From here, the range moves to the ST-L 4WD that adds LED fog lights, roof rails, a powered boot lift, front parking sensors, digital view monitor and Nissan’s ProPILOT semi-autonomous driving tech. The Ti picks up heated seats, leather upholstery, wireless smartphone charging and a 13-speaker BOSE sound system.
Finally, the range-topping Ti-L 4WD comes fitted with 20-inch alloys, a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, ventilated front seats and a set of captain’s chairs in the rear of the cabin.
