The 2017 Nissan Pathfinder has a very big image problem in Australia. It is not that people think badly about it, but people does not even think about it at all. Although more than 70,000 were sold in three decades, Nissan feels that it is still underperforming in terms of sales.

The 2017 Nissan Pathfinder is a forgotten SUV in the Australian market. In order to make it more palatable to Australian customers, Nissan decided to give it a make-over.

The 2017 Nissan Pathfinder is a seven seater family car that Nissan hope would change its reputation. Cars Guide reported that the new improved car will be offered in the Australian market in 3 different trims. The cheapest among the two-wheel drive, the 4 wheel drive and the hybrid type. As for its powertrain customers can have two choices to choose from.

The 202 KW, 3.5 Liter V6 engine offering of the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder will amaze its potential owners. It gives a smooth power delivery with its 284 hp. It could also opt for the 2.5-liter 4cylinder engine paired with a 15 KW electric motor producing combined 188 KW of power.

Both engines are paired with a single speed CVT transmission. There would be no diesel engine option for the 7 seater pathfinder. Although it's a bit similar to its predecessor, it still has a lot of new specs to look forward to. From its hood, bumper, and engine, everything is new.

It prides itself with the Advanced Navigation System, Tri-Zone Entertainment System, Dual Panoramic Sun Roof, Moving Object Detection Cruise Control and a lot more. News Atlas mentioned that the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder will be packing with safety feature and a better fuel economy. This is in line with its family car marketing approach. The car will be safer and will give the owners' family more saving while they enjoy its perks.

Air bags installed around the cabin makes everyone safer if an accidental crash occurs. Also, a blind spot monitoring, cross traffic alerts, and cross-traffic alerts are just some safety features installed in the car. Drivers can get 23 miles for every gallon in a two-wheel drive model while 21 mpg is the norm for this 4-wheel type of car. Indeed, the Nissan Pathfinder is a promising and dependable car.
