Nissan’s adventure-ready family SUV, the fifth-generation Pathfinder, has returned to its go-anywhere roots, introducing a bold, fresh design, major engineering upgrades and a host of new safety and convenience features.

The fifth-generation Pathfinder is all-new, with every inch of the vehicle carefully designed to convey a sense of strength and capability, including its strong front face, wide stance, flared arches and a shorter front overhang (versus the previous design).

While the Pathfinder’s overall length has been reduced, its stance has been widened and its height increased slightly to provide more interior headroom, legroom and hip room.

The clean new design has also slimmed the pillars and delivered a more muscular appearance with flared wheel arches, an integrated rear spoiler, door-mounted side mirrors and a shark-fin aerial.

On the side, strong U-shaped highlights fuse the powerful fender blisters together, providing a tough, muscled look. In the rear, the wide-aspect LED taillights are slimmer than the previous design.
