Exterior

The Pathfinder's styling is considered an evolution of the previous version, with short overhangs and pronounced fender flares. The rear door handles are located vertically on the C-pillars, and the SUV has an integrated front bumper. The Pathfinder's grille design is similar to Nissan's larger Armada, and its platform is derived from that SUV, too. The tailgate's glass window flips up. Running boards, heated mirrors and a sunroof are optional.

Built on a 112.2-inch wheelbase, the Pathfinder is 187.6 inches long overall and stands as tall as 70.1 inches, not counting the roof rack. Performance-type shock absorbers are available on the Off-Road model. Tires up to 17 inches in diameter can be mounted on the Pathfinder.
