Nissan Pathfinder

Passion runs deep for the iconic Nissan Pathfinder. Owners love its long heritage of rugged capability, and they want more of it - while seeking comfort and advanced connectivity and safety features.

"Thirty-five years after the launch of the original model, Pathfinder has returned to its rugged roots, loaded with the benefit of everything learned along the way," said Jared Haslam, vice president, Product and Services Planning, Nissan North America. "Today's large SUV owners want a vehicle that conveys strength and rugged capability, while using advanced safety and technology features to keep their family safe and comfortable during every-day adventures, and the all-new 2022 Pathfinder is ready to take on those adventures."

The all-new 2022 Pathfinder goes on sale in summer 2021.

Nissan Frontier

With more than six decades of experience bringing compact and mid-size trucks to U.S. customers, the all-new 2022 Nissan Frontier brings the power, capability, utility, maneuverability and technology that drivers need to take on both weekday work and weekend adventures.

Frontier also plays an important role as the company revamps its U.S. showroom with the Nissan NEXT transformation plan.

I like. But will likely come at a premium.
 
Remember the Nissan Pathfinder SUV? Well, there's a new one

Nissan has revealed its new Pathfinder in the United States, showing off the big SUV alongside the latest Frontier.

The Pathfinder name, of course, is a familiar one to South Africans, though hasn’t been offered locally since 2015. Later in 2021, though, Nissan SA plans to launch the Navara-based (body-on-frame) Terra to finally fill that gap.

So, what about the fifth-generation Pathfinder just revealed for North America? Well, the Japanese firm says it’s “all-new from the ground up”, but unlike the Terra it is unibody in construction. As with the recently unveiled Frontier, the newcomer draws its urge from a 3,5-litre V6 petrol engine, though here it has been detuned slightly to 212 kW and 351 N.m.

Drive is delivered via a nine-speed automatic transmission, while all-wheel-drive variants feature a seven-position drive and terrain mode selector. Nissan says the AWD system employs direct coupling, which allows torque transfer directly on the clutch pack using oil pressure.

New Nissan Frontier revealed as America’s V6-powered Navara bakkie

Nissan has taken the wraps off its new V6-powered Frontier, which is again effectively the Navara’s American cousin.

Like the refreshed D23-generation Navara – which is set to go into production in South Africa soon – the Frontier will be offered in a new Pro-4X trim, which includes items such an electronic locking differential, Bilstein off-road shock absorbers, underbody skid plates and a new off-road driving mode.

In the United States, the new Frontier features Nissan’s latest 3,8-litre V6 petrol engine, which generates peak outputs of 231 kW and 381 N.m. The six-cylinder unit is matched to a nine-speed automatic transmission.

Nissan says it also “retuned” the bakkie’s hydraulic rack-and-pinion steering gear, with the ratio increased by 16 percent. The suspension setup’s new hydraulic cab mounts ostensibly reduce road vibration, while fresh urethane jounce bumpers provide improved damping. The company has furthermore fitted a larger front stabiliser bar, a new rear stabiliser bar and disc brakes all round.

Nissan Might Get In On The Compact Pickup Truck Game, Too

Report claims Nissan may slot a smaller truck below the Frontier, and blindly hopes it could be electric.

There appears to be genuine enthusiasm behind the 2022 Nissan Frontier. That’s more than could be said about the full-size Titan, which has somehow continued to languish as an also-ran in a segment that is absolutely booming.

Given that, it stands to reason Nissan may be considering expanding its pickup line in the opposite direction, with a more compact model designed to slot under the Frontier according to Automotive News.

The report cites people “familiar with the matter” and states merely that the Japanese carmaker is “studying” the possibility. It also points to the hype behind the Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz to suggest that Nissan might be eyeing a slice of the compact truck pie. And Automotive News reckons this mystery small pickup should be electric, because nobody else is doing that yet. So why shouldn’t Nissan be the first?

It’s not a bad idea, though that’s all it is as the moment. If Nissan is determined to continue doing trucks, it’d best find a way to differentiate its offerings lest it continue to fade in mindshare. The F-150 Lightning is huge and expensive (if you want one with any options whatsoever) and there’s lots of space below it for a smaller EV pickup to play.

Nissan to introduce a new compact bakkie for lifestyle consumers?

A new report out of the USA suggests that Nissan may be looking at a new compact bakkie that will slot in under its Frontier offering. The new product is understood to boast an electric platform to supplement the brand’s push towards an eco-friendly line-up.

Based on a report from Automotive News, the Japanese manufacturer wishes to merge its electric and bakkie portfolio by creating a compact light weight electric product for lifestyle-minded consumers in the USA.

This new compact bakkie would slot in directly under the Navara and likely compete with the recently revealed Ford Maverick and Hyundai Santa Cruz. This segment in the American market is a white space but forecasts from HIS Markit data suggest that by 2023, sales could grow to 99 000 units annually.

Judy Wheeler, Nissan division vice president of sales and regional operations in the USA, downplayed the speculation of an electric compact bakkie but did not rule the idea out. “There’s all kinds of things under discussion, I don’t know that there is any serious discussion there at this point.” She told the publication.

“I could see that coming,” Wheeler said of an all-electric powertrain for a bakkie. “The pick-up area is kind of interesting. There will be a consumer that’s looking more for a lifestyle vehicle that they can put all their gear in and go off-roading.”
