The new 2024 model is now available, and it offers many upgrades and improvements that seem sure to continue the Pathfinder’s long-running success. Here are the key highlights you can explore with a test drive.

Reassuringly Rugged Build

The Pathfinder’s frame is sturdy and bulky, giving the SUV a reassuring amount of heft on the highway, but it also includes sculpted surfaces and curving lines to ensure a thoroughly modern look. A major benefit of the chunky body is the sheer size of the cabin it encloses, seating up to eight across three genuinely spacious rows, with none of the third-row cramping so often found on other crossovers. With the Pathfinder, you can be sure that even the longest family journeys will pass in comfort.

Power to Rely On

The Pathfinder’s engine is more than up to the task of powering the sizable frame with poise and control. The 3.5L V6 model cranks out an impressive 284 horsepower and 259lb-ft of torque, passed through a nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters to all-wheel drive as standard. The combination delivers responsive power at the touch of the gas pedal, yet won’t cost you a fortune at the filling station, with fuel economy ratings of just 11.6L / 100km in the city and 9.2L on the highway.

Choice of Drive Modes

The Pathfinder’s drivetrain also includes multiple drive modes to ensure every drop of engine power is translated into performance, optimizing the throttle, transmission, and braking responses to suit your drive. Choose from normal, sport, eco, mud, or sand modes to match the terrain, or opt for the dedicated towing mode to haul up to 2,727kg with the SUV barely breaking a sweat.

Upscale Interior Comforts

There’s more to the Pathfinder’s interior than spaciousness alone. Even at the entry level, features like heated front seats and tri-zone automatic climate control ensure stress-free comfort on every trip. Move up the trim levels and options, including second-row captain’s chairs, leather upholstery, ventilated seats, and ambient interior lighting, take the Pathfinder firmly into premium SUV territory, satisfying the highest of family demands.

Advanced Digital Technology

Digital displays abound in the 2024 Pathfinder, starting with an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen at the lower levels backed up by a 7-inch advanced driver-assist display. Higher trims upgrade the touchscreen to a 9-inch unit complete with navigation, add a colour head-up display, and also unify the driver-assist screen and instrument gauges into a single, configurable 12.3-inch display nestling behind the wheel.

Smartphone compatibility is made simple by Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with the Apple system upgradeable to a wireless version, backed up by options including Bluetooth connectivity, hands-free messaging, a wireless charging pad, and a Wi-Fi hotspot facility with over-the-air software upgrades.

Safety on Every Drive

Exceptional safety is paramount for a family vehicle, and the Pathfinder includes a wealth of active features to make your journeys as safe and incident-free as possible. Key standard or available highlights include:

• Automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection and forward traffic monitoring
• Automatic rear braking for safer backing up
• Blind-spot monitoring to detect hidden vehicles during lane changes
• Traffic-sign recognition with optional automatic speed adjustment
