The Pathfinder was facelifted last year, with subtle changes to its less-than-subtle styling and an array of interior upgrades. These include improvements in switchgear quality and a clearer dash display, as well as larger door pockets and a new storage box in the centre console. Despite this, none of our testers said it looked or felt much different from the old one, but that’s no bad thing. We always liked the Pathfinder’s durable, understated style, and its fascia is as clear and neat as ever, so we’re happy.
We’d expect our rear-seat passengers to be that way, too, as legroom is excellent, though a high waistline and thick B-pillar mean you feel enclosed. All Pathfinders these days are seven-seaters, and you can get a couple of adults in the third row, too, so long as it’s not for too long a journey.
For cargo carrying, the second row squabs tumble, costing a bit of loading length. But the rest of the rear seats fold near-flat with ease, making it very configurable indeed.
