The fully redesigned Nissan Pathfinder gets refined looks, more space, and an upgraded interior
Nissan recently unveiled the new Pathfinder, the brand’s best-known model which competes in a vast segment against other three-row SUVs such as the Ford Explorer and the Toyota Highlander. With a lot of help from Nissan Design America in San Diego, CA, the company has been able to give the Pathfinder a new look while giving a nod to its history.
Nissan senior designer Marcus Quach, who oversaw the exterior design, says the team was inspired by the original Pathfinder from 1986. “There was a certain robustness, a certain modernity to the design, especially given the other cars on the market at the time,” he explains. “There’s some cleverness hidden within; it’s very pragmatic and honest, and that’s a lot of what we wanted to capture with the new Pathfinder.”
