1996: Second Generation – Underwent a significant transition to a unibody platform, embracing a more aerodynamic design and introducing the acclaimed VQ-series 3.5-litre V6 engine, widely recognised for its exceptional performance globally.
2004: Third Generation – Witnessed a return to body-on-frame construction, adopting a modified F-Alpha platform to accommodate a seven-passenger setup, featuring a split, fold-down 3rd row seat for enhanced versatility.
2013: Fourth Generation – Showcased an exquisite blend of style, comfort, and technological prowess on a unibody platform, housing a 3.5-litre DOHC V6 engine that substantially improved fuel efficiency. It also introduced innovative seating systems and advanced safety features.
2021: Fifth Generation – Made a resounding entrance, seamlessly blending the Pathfinder’s rich heritage with contemporary sophistication. Sporting a 3.5-litre DOHC V6 engine generating 284 horsepower, paired with a cutting-edge 9-speed transmission, it presents a host of modern amenities including new captain chairs, a 12.3-inch digital dashboard, and a 10.8-inch Head-Up Display.
