Pathfinder overall dimensions. Technical characteristics of Nissan Pathfinder

Nissan Pathfinder is a crossover with an off-road character. This model has been actively produced for more than 30 years. In 2012, the world saw the fourth generation of this vehicle. Outwardly, it bears little resemblance to the car that rolled off the assembly line in 1985, but it still impresses with its rather large size.

The dimensions of the Nissan Pathfinder are from 4813*1848*1781 to 5008*1960*1767 mm, and the weight varies from 2060 to 2210 kg depending on the generation.

In this article, we will look at the dimensions of all generations of the model, and also find out what characteristic exterior changes have occurred in the restyled 2016 Nissan Pathfinder.

First generation (1985-1995)

The first generation of the Nissan Pathfinder was introduced in 1985. At that time, it was one of the versions of the Terrano model, which was aimed at the US market. For four long years, the car was offered exclusively in a three-door version, and the interior of the vehicle could accommodate five passengers at a time, including the driver. In 1989, Nissan specialists finalized the model, introducing appearance several significant changes. Since many car owners noted that the crossover has difficulty overcoming snowdrifts and often gets stuck in the middle of the forest, it was decided to increase the ground clearance, giving the car an off-road character. In addition, at this time a five-door version of the model appeared, which, as practice has shown, was in great demand. The interior of the Nissan Pathfinder, starting from the first generation, has always been spacious and comfortable. A characteristic feature of this car is its oblong-shaped body, which the company’s specialists have not changed to this day.

Second generation (1995-2004)

The second generation of the Nissan Pathfinder crossover is significantly different in design from its predecessor. This time, instead of a frame, preference was given to a monocoque body, the buyer was offered only a five-door version of the model, and the exterior became more modern and presentable. Of course, the width and height of the car have increased, in addition, the luggage compartment has become much more spacious.

Third generation Nissan Pathfinder (2005–2014)

To create the third generation crossover, a frame structure was used, and the platform was borrowed from a pickup truck Navara. The only thing that distinguishes these two models in terms of performance is the presence of an independent rear linkage in the Nissan Pathfinder. This generation became the most popular and was actively sold until 2011 in the automobile markets of Russia, Europe, and, of course, the USA. Compared to the second generation, the ground clearance decreased (to 228 mm), as well as the body width (to 1850 mm), the height remained almost unchanged (1770 mm), however, the manufacturer considered it necessary to increase the curb weight to 2165 kg. The luggage compartment, when passengers are fully seated, has a volume of 515 liters. If necessary, the amount of free space can be increased almost four times (up to 2091 liters) by folding the last row of seats.

Fourth generation (2012 – present)

The fourth generation Pathfinder rolled off the assembly line in 2012. It took practically nothing from the third generation, except for some technical characteristics and luxurious interior decoration. Nissan Pathfinder's dimensions have become larger, and the car itself has begun to look more impressive and solid. The carrying capacity of this model is its strong point, because not every full-size SUV is capable of transporting such large loads. The body length has become 250 mm longer, because the fourth generation is produced exclusively in a seven-seater version.

The overall dimensions of the fourth generation can be seen in the table below:

Drawing conclusions

The Nissan Pathfinder car has dimensions that are quite large, as for a representative of the crossover segment. It is worth noting that the strength of the model of any generation is the carrying capacity, as well as the spaciousness of the luggage compartment. The manufacturer has endowed the car with off-road characteristics so that it can easily cope with any difficulties while driving, even on hilly and mountainous terrain.

It is based on an extended version of the D platform. The car has a monocoque body, the front of which rests on an independent MacPherson-type suspension, and the rear on a multi-link. Under the hood there can be either a 3.5 liter petrol V-shaped “six” with an output of 249 hp. (325 Nm), or a hybrid power plant with a total power of 250 hp. (368 Nm). The hybrid is a tandem of a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with a mechanical supercharger (234 hp, 330 Nm) and an electric motor (15 kW, 160 Nm). This is a so-called mild parallel hybrid - a configuration in which the internal combustion engine does most of the work, supplying torque directly to the drive wheels, and the electric motor is connected as needed (for example, when starting off or accelerating). A lithium-ion battery with a modest capacity of 0.63 kWh is installed in the rear of the Nissan Pathfinder. The battery is recharged by an electric motor, which acts as a generator when braking or decelerating the car.

Both available powertrains are paired with an Xtronic CVT. All-Mode 4×4-i all-wheel drive is organized according to a simple scheme - the front axle is constantly engaged, and the rear axle is connected using a multi-plate clutch installed in the rear wheel drive. There are three transmission operating modes: 2WD (front-wheel drive), Auto (automatic force distribution) and Lock (forced clutch locking). The not too high ground clearance of 181 mm, coupled with a long wheelbase (2900 mm), seriously limits the off-road capabilities of the crossover, preventing it from attacking any serious off-road conditions. The direct competitor, with a ground clearance of 197 mm, looks more preferable from this point of view.

Having impressive dimensions, the car is very heavy. The modification with a 3.5-liter V6 engine weighs 2077 kg when running. The hybrid Nissan Pathfinder R52 is almost 100 kg heavier due to the battery - its weight is 2170 kg. But the trunk of any version of the crossover is impressive in its size. With the second and third row seats folded, the cargo compartment capacity is 2,260 liters.

According to the passport specifications, the fuel consumption of a Nissan Pathfinder with a V6 engine in mixed driving mode does not exceed 10.4 liters per 100 km. The crossover version with a hybrid installation is 16% more economical - with the same travel pattern it consumes about 8.7 liters. The hybrid's better traction performance (+43 Nm of torque, peak torque available from 3600 rpm versus 4400 rpm for a conventional engine) does not give it any advantage in dynamics. A car with the “Hybrid” nameplate accelerates to 100 km/h in 8.7 seconds, a “brother” with a classic engine – in 8.5 seconds.

Specifications Nissan Pathfinder R52 – summary table:

The large 3rd generation Nissan Pathfinder SUV in the R51 body debuted at the Detroit motor show in early 2004. Compared to its predecessor, the car has noticeably increased in size and returned to the frame structure.

The Nissan Pathfinder R51 shares a chassis with a pickup truck - these two models also have one thing in common general design front part of the exterior, interior and technical filling. The SUV was restyled twice, the last of which was dated in the spring of 2010.

Options and prices Nissan Pathfinder 2014

Trunk volume varies from 515 to 2,091 liters. Since 2005, a third row of seats has become available for the SUV, which makes it possible to make it seven-seater.

Externally, the Nissan Pathfinder 3 looks brutal and has nothing in common with the previous generation car. The appearance is created by a massive radiator grille, wide wheel arches and original side glazing with a very wide rear pillar, to which the door opening handle has been moved.

In the interior of the SUV, after the update, the door panels were changed, chrome was added to the trim, and the Premium Nissan Connect system appeared with a new touch screen and a 40-gigabyte hard drive. Overall, the interior creates a pleasant feeling. It is not luxurious, but at the same time it does not seem outdated or primitive.

In various markets, the Nissan Pathfinder R51 is offered with several options for gasoline and diesel engines, but in Russia the car is supplied exclusively with engines running on “heavy” fuel.

The base engine is a 2.5-liter inline-four turbodiesel with 190 hp. (450 Nm), available paired with a 5-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic. The SUV's drive, regardless of its version, is exceptionally full.

But you can also buy a top-end modification with a 231-horsepower (550 Nm) diesel V6 with a displacement of 3.5 liters. It is combined only with a 7-speed automatic and accelerates a car weighing 2,210 kg from zero to hundreds in 8.9 seconds (versus 11.0 seconds with a more modest engine), providing a top speed of 200 km/h.

The average fuel consumption of the Nissan Pathfinder 3.5 in the combined cycle is stated at 9.5 liters per hundred kilometers. In the city - 12.4 liters, on the highway - 7.7 liters. For a car with a base engine, these figures are 8.7 / 11.0 / 7.3 liters per hundred, respectively.

The price of the Nissan Pathfinder R51 at the time of sales started from 1,580,000 rubles for the version with a manual transmission, and for an SUV with an automatic transmission you had to pay at least 1,738,000 rubles. The cost of the most expensive version with a 3.5-liter unit reached 2,321,000 rubles.

Sales of the new one should have started in 2014, but this is a completely different car, in which the frame structure was abandoned. So this car was turned rather into a crossover, and there are fewer and fewer real SUVs on the market.

The new 2015 Nissan Pathfinder 2 departed somewhat from the classic canons of an off-road vehicle in terms of technical characteristics. Now it's more of a crossover. The engineers abandoned the frame chassis and chose the option with a monocoque body.

Dimensions, dimensions, ground clearance

The “off-road” features of the Nissan Pathfinder remain in the overall dimensions. The length of the car is almost 5 meters, with a width of 1.96 m and a height of 1.77 m. The wheelbase of the Nissan Pathfinder is 2.9 m. The abandonment of the frame structure made it possible to reduce the weight of the car to 1,882 kg (front-wheel drive) or 1,946 kg (all-wheel drive). drive).

Transmission

A CVT is installed as a transmission, regardless of the power unit. There are no other gearboxes on the new Nissan Pathfinder.

Fuel consumption

Another point that interests potential Nissan Pathfinder buyers is fuel consumption and wheel size. So here it is. The car is equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels. For 100 km in city conditions, a Nissan Pathfinder with a gasoline engine and all-wheel drive consumes 12.3 liters (11.7 liters for the front-wheel drive version). The hybrid installation is more economical - about 9.4 liters.

The trunk volume of the Nissan Pathfinder is simply amazing. From 453 liters with the rear seats up to a maximum of 2,260 liters.
