In 2012, the R52 series Pathfinder was released as a three-row crossover SUV based on theunibodyNissan D platform,moving away from the body-on-frame chassis format. The role of a mid-size body-on-frame SUV in Nissan's global lineup was passed to theTerra/X-Terra,which was released in 2018 and based on theD23 series Navara.

The first generation Pathfinder was unveiled in May 1985 and was later introduced in July 1986 as a two-doorbody-on-frameSUV, for the 1987 model year in the United States. It shared styling and most components with theNissan Hardbody Truck.Built on a ladder-type frame, the Pathfinder wasNissan's response to theChevrolet Blazer,Ford Bronco II,Jeep Cherokee,and non-American SUVs like theToyota 4Runner,Honda Passport,and theIsuzu MU.
Before the Pathfinder there was the Nissan Bushmaster (an aftermarket conversion of theDatsun Truck). Its optional 4WD system that could be engaged electronically while the vehicle was moving was unique at the time. All YD21 Pathfinders were available in both 2WD and manually engaged 4WD configurations, with base models installed with a 2.4 L four-cylinder engine. In certain countries, this generation also came with a 2.7-literI4diesel engine known as theTD27with the option of a turbocharger installed later in November 1988.
In Japan, it was exclusive toNissan Shoplocations, where it was called the Terrano and served as a smaller companion to the largerNissan Safari.While the Pathfinder/Terrano was essentially based on the newly introduced Hardbody truck, the rear five-link coil suspension was borrowed from the Safari to enhance its off-road abilities. In addition to the Station Wagon version (two or late four doors), the home market also received a version intended for commercial use called the "Estate Van" (chassis codes beginning with the letter "V" ). The two-door version was available with the Nissan VG30iV6,which produces 140 PS (103 kW) at 4800 rpm in Japanese market specifications.
As the Japanese market Terrano was regarded as a luxury vehicle, with an emphasis on outdoor leisure activities, the Terrano was introduced to Japanese buyers as an off-road, back-country Fairlady ZX.[citation needed]To emphasize this marketing approach, the Terrano was available with options not normally found on other budget-minded vehicles. Some of the upmarket Japanese-model options were climate-controlled air conditioning, electrically powered windows, seats, door locks, and, in 1993,Recaroseats. Nissan's sports divisionAutechadded special equipment packages, introducing the "Wide R3M Urban" and the "AJ Limited". The "Wide" models used overfenders and larger bumpers which made their exterior dimensions exceeddimension regulations,thus incurring a higherannual road taxobligation. The Wide models were given the leading letter "L" in their model codes. The emphasis on luxury was partly due to a strong economy in Japan, in what is now regarded as the Japanese "bubble economy".
In 1985, the first generation Terrano was entered in the ninth Paris to Dakar rally race, with continued entries in rally races for many years, winning multiple times in its category.
The four-door Pathfinder was introduced in October 1989 to enhance the Pathfinder's market appeal, but the wheelbase and overall vehicle length were not extended to accommodate the rear doors. At its introduction to North America, 1985 to 1989 Pathfinders all came with a two-door body. For 1990 it became four door-only, although a small number of US 1990 Pathfinders came with the two-door body.[citation needed]
When the four-door version was introduced, Nissan chose to conceal the door handles as a part of the"C" pillartrim to make it appear like a two-door truck with acamper shell,with the conventional door handles on the front doors. This design tradition was used on all Nissan SUVs, including theNissan Armada,Nissan Juke,Nissan Terrano II,and theNissan Xterra.The front doors were slightly shortened to accommodate the rear doors.
From 1987 to 1989 Pathfinders were available with either the NissanVG30i3.0 L V6 (143 hp (107 kW), 162 lb⋅ft (220 N⋅m) torque), or the NissanZ24i2.4 L (106 hp (79 kW)) I4 (the same engine choices as theNissan Hardbody Truck). For 1990, the V6 received an upgrade from throttle body injection to a multi point fuel injection system. Thisenginewas known as theVG30E,and was rated at 153 hp (114 kW) and 180 lb⋅ft (244 N⋅m) torque. Also in 1990, theZ24iwas replaced with theKA24E.The first generation continued until 1995.
The first generationNissan Pathfinderalso sold in Indonesia from 1995 to 2006 asNissan Terrano.Only available with four-door body, 2389 ccZ24carburetted petrol engine (103 hp & 182Nm), 2WD (4WD only available for 1995-1996 highest trim model[4]) and 5-speed manual transmission. Only 17,801 units were sold during 11 years of production.[5]
Facelifts
editA facelift occurred in 1990 when the 4-door model was introduced. The front grille was revised, numerous interior trim level options became available and numerous exterior packages were offered by dealerships. The 1993 models received a third brake light and the 1994 models received a curved dashboard. Two more facelifts occurred for Indonesian production Terrano in 1997 and 2003.

The second generation Pathfinder was introduced in late 1995 with revised styling. The engine was upgraded to theVG33E,with 168 hp (125 kW) and 196 lb⋅ft (266 N⋅m) torque. For the 19991⁄2model year, the Pathfinder was freshened. In 2000, model year 2001 brought a new 240 hp (179 kW)V6 engine(for the automatic transmission models). The manual transmission models boasted 250 hp (186 kW) and 240-lbft of torque. This engine was theVQ35DE.The 4-cylinder engine option was no longer available, and diesel engines continued to be used in Japanese and European models.
As of the 2002 model year, the Terrano / Pathfinder was no longer marketed in Japan, and was available in North America, Europe and the Middle East. The market position held by the Terrano in Japan was replaced by theNissan Muranoin 2002. The Japanese market Terrano and high luxury content Terrano Regulus saw demand drop significantly due to the hard economic times felt in Japan, known as theLost Decade.Nissan offered a smaller, off-road vehicle to its Japanese customer base who enjoyed the Pathfinder when it introduced theNissan X-Trailin 2000.

TheInfiniti QX4is a mid-size luxury SUV introduced in September 1996 and based on the Nissan Pathfinder. It was released followingAcura's introduction of theSLXandLexus's largerLX 450.The QX4 wasInfiniti's first entry into the SUV market segment.
It was available in Japan as theNissan Terrano Regulusand exclusive at Nissan'sJDMNissan Store.Major differences between these vehicles and the regular Pathfinder/Terrano include a more upscale interior and unique styling. Marketed as aluxury vehicle,The Terrano Regulus offered off-road capability with a low-rangefour-wheel-drivesystem and 8.3 inches (211 mm) of ground clearance. In Japan, two four-cylinder diesel engines were also available. The US-market engine was the same 3.3-liter V6 unit as used in the Pathfinder, producing 168 hp (125 kW) at 4,800 rpm and 196 lb⋅ft (266 N⋅m) at 4,800 rpm. This was generally considered underpowered for the segment, with a 0–60 mph (97 km/h) time of 12.4 seconds in period testing.[6]In 1999, the Terrano was exclusive to reorganized Nissan JDMNissan Blue Stagedealerships.
Year-to-year changes
editThe Terrano Regulus was updated in February 1999. The interior design was revised, while the old QD32ETioverhead valveturbodiesel was replaced with the new DOHC, 16-valve ZD30DDTi unit. The VG33E engine continued unchanged, but with the added option of two-wheel-drive.
The QX4 received its first major update in March 2000, as an early introduction for model year 2001. The biggest change was the newVQ seriesV6 engine(also later seen in theG35andFX35), increasing its power from a relatively low 168 to 240 hp (125 to 179 kW).[6]The displacement went from 3.3 L to 3.5 L. Thetiming beltwas replaced with a timing chain and the ignition distributor was replaced with an individual coilignition system.The revised version was introduced at the same price as the earlier model, in spite of the extra power and other improvements.[7]
This facelift also gave the QX4 an updated exterior and interior body style, including a new grille and bumpers, reworkedXenon HID headlampsand redesigned taillights, a new dash with integratedanalog clock,and 17-inch alloy wheels.[7]Also, arear-wheel driveQX4 model was added (1997 through 2000 were only available in 4WD).
The Terrano Regulus continued to use the VG33E engine (and the 3-liter turbodiesel inline-four), although the short-lived V6 2WD option was discontinued again in September 2001, along with some minor changes.
2002 Infiniti QX: Cruise control designed to maintain a set distance from other traffic was the main addition for 2002. The QX4 shared Nissan's Intelligent Cruise Control with Infiniti's flagship Q45 sedan. Employing laser sensors, the system was designed to automatically speed or slow the QX4 to keep it a constant distance from cars ahead. Also new for 2002 was a revised audio system, plus audio controls for the available leather/wood steering wheel. The optional rear-seat video entertainment system offered a choice of VCR or DVD player. The Japanese-market Terrano Regulus was discontinued in August 2002.
2003 Infiniti QX: Additional standard equipment for 2003 included curtain-type side airbags, available for the first time. New standard equipment that had previously been part of the Premium Package included 17-inch wheels, a driver-seat memory system, and a leather/woodgrain steering wheel with audio controls. Options included heated front/rear seats and a videotape or DVD rear-seat entertainment system. A power moonroof that came standard.
The QX4 was discontinued in 2003, and its position in price was taken by theFX35/45crossover SUV.The last QX4 was manufactured during November 2002.[citation needed]The QX4 was succeeded by the larger QX56 in 2004.

A redesigned Pathfinder went on sale in late October 2012 as a 2013 model. It moved away from a body-on-frame, truck-based SUV and adopted a unibody design. It rides on the same platform as theInfiniti QX60,Altima,Maxima,MuranoandQuest.This generation Pathfinder has an interior similar to the second generation Murano, the Infiniti QX60, and some more SUVs and sedans. The third row has more leg room than theNissan Rogue.
A concept, nearly identical to the eventual production model, was first revealed at the2012 North American International Auto Show.Retail availability was scheduled for September 2012. The new Pathfinder is only available with aVQ35DE3.5-liter V6 engine producing 260 hp (194 kW) and 240 lb⋅ft (325 N⋅m) of torque.

- 3.5-liter V6 models available late summer 2013
- Pathfinder Hybrid available fall 2013
- Pathfinder utilizes aContinuously Variable Transmission(CVT) transmission made byJatco;early versions of this CVT have proved to be problematic to the point of requiring replacement by Nissan in some 2013 and 2014 model years due to a hydraulic line size issue.
Canadian models of 2014 Pathfinder includes Pathfinder 3.5-litre 4WD V6 X, Pathfinder V6 S; 2014 Pathfinder Hybrid includes SV and Platinum Premium.[18]
A locally built Pathfinder entered the Russian market in November 2014.[19]
Pathfinder Hybrid
editIntroduced for model year 2014, the Pathfinder Hybrid, available in two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, uses a supercharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine and an electric motor paired to a compact lithium-ion battery. The Li-ion battery fits under the third row seat, with no effect on space used for cargo or passengers. The Pathfinder Hybrid also has hybrid emblems and hybrid LED taillights versus the non-hybrid model.
Nissan discontinued the Pathfinder Hybrid after the 2014 model year due to owner reviews and complaints that they could not get gas milage that was anywhere close to the advertised 25 to 28 mpg and 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).[citation needed]
2017 facelift
editFor model year 2017, the Nissan Pathfinder received an exterior update which includes a new fascia with restyled headlights and tail lights and a new direct-injected V6 engine with CVT—outputting 284 hp (212 kW) and 259 lb⋅ft (351 N⋅m). The headlights had LED projector low beam headlamps and LED daytime running lights standard on Platinum trim levels, while S, SV and SL trim levels offer restyled halogen projector headlights with LED daytime running lights. Restyled tail lights will be standard on Platinum trim levels, and all 2017 Pathfinders will also have new exterior colors added. The interior also has redesigned cup holders. A Motion Activated Liftgate is also now standard on SL and Platinum trim levels only as part of the power liftgate. The 2017 model year is also its 30th anniversary for the Nissan Pathfinder but there won't be any 30th anniversary special edition model for the 2017 Pathfinder. But the Nissan Pathfinder will have a Midnight Edition trim level which will be higher than the Platinum trim level for its base MSRP and arrive in early 2017 and the Nissan Altima, Sentra, Murano, Maxima and Rogue will also add the Midnight Edition trim level to their trim lineups in early 2017.
