1990-1995 Nissan Pathfinder: Highlights

By the time Pathfinder arrived in 1987, it was faced with a group of rivals that included the Jeep Cherokee, Toyota 4Runner, Chevy S-10 Blazer, and Ford Bronco II. Original Pathfinders, available in base XE and uplevel SE trim levels, came with a 153-horsepower 3.0-liter V6. A 5-speed manual gearbox was standard across the board, with a 4-speed automatic optional. Initially available in just a 2-door body style, a 4-door body was added for 1990, with both 2WD and part-time 4WD.

Year-to-Year Changes
1991 Nissan Pathfinder: In 1991, the 4-door Pathfinder becomes the only body style. Among other changes, the optional antilock brakes become standard equipment and leather seats are a new option.
1992 Nissan Pathfinder: A new exterior color--Safari Green--is the only change for the 1992 Pathfinder.

1993 Nissan Pathfinder: Changes for 1993 include mildly modified bumpers and reshaped fenders for this 6-year-old sport utility. Also, new inner door beams provide more side-impact protection and CFC-free air conditioning refrigerant replaces ozone-depleting R-12.

1994 Nissan Pathfinder: Hoping to attract more luxury sport-utility buyers, the 1994 Pathfinder adds a new luxuriously equipped LE flagship model. Standard equipment on the LE includes automatic transmission, leather upholstery, heated front seats, luggage rack, semiautomatic air conditioning, a CD player, running boards, privacy glass, rear disc brakes, styled alloy wheels, and other features that are either optional or not available on XE or SE models. In addition, a new instrument panel replaces the former unit with its upright, angular design. This new unit has more ergonomic, flowing design with controls that are larger and easier to use.

1995 Nissan Pathfinder: The big news for 1995 is the addition of a 2WD version of the LE luxury model added to the model lineup last year.

1996-2000 Nissan Pathfinder: Highlights

Fully redesigned for 1996, Nissan's sport-utility vehicle went on sale after the model year began. This was the first major reworking of the Pathfinder since its debut a decade earlier. A new, longer-wheelbase unibody chassis replaced the old body-on-frame design. In addition to dual airbags and standard 4-wheel antilock brakes, the new Pathfinder got a bigger V6 engine. Overall length increased by 6.7 inches, wheelbase stretched 2 inches, and width grew by 2.2 inches. Despite the increased dimensions, weight actually dropped by about 200 pounds. The spare tire moved under the cargo area, but an outside-mounted tire carrier was optional. The 4-door wagon had a rear liftgate and a separate top-hinged glass back window. Three models were available: base XE, sport-oriented SE, and luxury LE. All three used a 3.3-liter V6 producing 168 horsepower. Peak torque increased from 180 to 196 pound-feet. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard on XE and SE Pathfinders. Four-speed automatic was standard on the LE, optional on others. The SE had standard part-time 4-wheel drive (not for use on dry pavement), with shift-on-the-fly capability via a console-mounted lever at speeds up to 50 mph. XE and LE models had rear-drive standard, with 4WD an option.

Year-to-Year Changes
1997 Nissan Pathfinder: Changes were minimal in the new Pathfinder's second season. All four doors got new map pockets. Infiniti, Nissan's luxury division, introduced a plush QX4 sport utility, evolved from the Pathfinder.
1998 Nissan Pathfinder: Pathfinders were essentially unchanged for 1998.

1999 Nissan Pathfinder: Little change was evident as the model year began, but Pathfinders earned a facelift at midyear. Meanwhile, LE models now had body-colored fender flares, plus the same wheels, tires, and side steps used on the SE. In addition to freshened styling, the 1999 1/2 model got optional front side airbags, in a package with leather upholstery for SE and LE models.

2000 Nissan Pathfinder: Following its freshening in midseason of 1999, Pathfinders had a short 2000 model year. The Off-Road Package with outside spare tire was dropped. An revised Pathfinder debuted in spring 2000, as an early 2001 model.

2001-2004 Nissan Pathfinder: Highlights

Nissan's updated premium sport-utility wagon began the 2001 model year in spring 2000, offered in base XE, sporty SE, and top-line LE versions, with additional standard features. This truck-based four-door wagon shared its design and V6 engine with the QX4 from Nissan's upscale Infiniti division. A new twincam 3.5-liter V6 replaced the single-cam 3.3-liter. Horsepower was 240 with automatic transmission, and 250 with manual shift. Prior Pathfinders had used a 170-horsepower engine. Torque ratings were now 265 and 240 pounds-feet, respectively, versus the previous 200. Towing capacity was unchanged at 5000 pounds. Only the SE was available with a manual gearbox. The Pathfinder adopted several options that had previously been reserved for its upscale Infiniti sister, the QX4. All models came with rear-wheel drive or part-time four-wheel drive. The latter had low-range gearing, intended for slick surfaces only. The LE's 4WD system was now the QX4's on-demand All-Mode setup, which was usable on dry pavement. It had 2WD, automatic 4WD, and locked-in 4WD High and Low settings. Antilock brakes were standard across the board. Front side airbags were available in the Leather option package for SE and LE models. The 2001 Pathfinders also got a restyled dashboard and console, standard cruise control, and power windows/locks/mirrors for all models. SE and LE versions gained standard steering-wheel audio controls and memory power seats. Newly optional on SEs and LEs was the QX4's satellite-linked navigation system, with dashboard touch-screen and audible route instructions. The LE and SE could also get a newly optional rear-seat entertainment system with video player, flip-down LCD screen, separate audio controls and game port. Infiniti's QX4 also got the bigger V6 and a revised dashboard this year, but had side airbags and the All-Mode 4WD system as standard. Pathfinder competitors included the Acura MDX, Ford Explorer, Lexus RX 300, and Toyota 4Runner and Highlander.

Year-to-Year Changes
2002 Nissan Pathfinder: The more-expensive of Nissan's two SUVs dropped the previous year's base model, and added features to the remaining Pathfinders for 2002. Gone was the XE model, leaving SE and LE versions. The 4WD SE Pathfinder was available with manual shift; other models had automatic. New for 2002 were a restyled grille, body-color bumpers, and fender flares for the SE. Fresh wheels included 17-inch alloys in place of 16s on the LE. Interior trim revisions included a new steering wheel with available audio controls.
2003 Nissan Pathfinder: Front side airbags and curtain-style airbags became available this year- standard in the LE model and optional for the SE. An antiskid/traction-control system was newly available, as part of a Dynamic Control option. Nissan no longer offered a navigation system in the Pathfinder, but the LE gained standard heated front seats. Both models got LATCH child-seat anchors, a redesigned steering wheel and center dashboard, and an electronic tailgate release.

2004 Nissan Pathfinder: No major changes were made to the Pathfinder this year.
