About Nissan Pathfinder
Nissan Pathfinder is a line of sport utility vehicles produced by the company since 1985. The Pathfinder is based on Nissan’s compact pickup truck platform, which it shares with the Navara/Frontier until the third generation model. Up until the B-pillars, the front end of the D21 (first generation) and R51 (third generation) Pathfinders is strikingly similar to the Navara/Frontier.
This generation also gets rid of the rear door handles hidden on the C pillar, which was a design feature of the first three Pathfinder generations. The R52 series is currently only available in North America, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, and the Middle East as of 2015. It is not manufactured or sold in Japan.
Nissan discontinued the Pathfinder Hybrid after the 2014 model year due to owner feedback and complaints that they could not achieve the advertised 25 to 28 mpg, as well as limited availability and poor sales in the United States (discontinued after the 2015 model year in Canada and in other global markets except Australia and New Zealand).
