The fourth and final piece (for now) of a massive product offensive for 2022, Nissan Australia has confirmed that the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder will go on sale locally before the end of 2022, while also revealing the local pricing and specifications for the important new large SUV. Priced from $54,190 plus on-road costs, the new Pathfinder will be available in four model grades with a single powerplant: a 202kW/340Nm 3.5-litre petrol V6 in either front- or all-wheel drive drive formats.
“The new Pathfinder is both rugged and refined, capable and comfortable, and distils everything Nissan has learned over the model’s proud 30-year history in Australia into one adventure-ready and family-friendly package,” says Adam Paterson, Managing Director, Nissan Australia.
For now, a single drivetrain will be available in the 2023 Nissan Pathfinder range: a 202kW/340Nm 3.5-litre petrol V6 engine that’s mated to a new nine-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the CVT automatic of the previous Pathfinder. Fuel consumption is rated at 10.0L/100km for 2WD models, and 10.5L/100km for AWD models. In models equipped with all-wheel drive, a variety of drive modes are available: Standard, Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand, Mud/Rut and Tow. Speaking of towing, the new Pathfinder can tow up to 2,700kg (braked).
