Nissan Pathfinder Acenta 2.5 dCi

Here’s proof that owning a big SUV needn’t mean big bills. Thanks to Nissan’s three-year Preferences PCP plan, you can head off the beaten track in the Pathfinder for only £343.99 per month.

Mixing unstoppable off-road ability with MPV versatility, the rugged seven-seater is the perfect choice for growing families with a sense of adventure. It can’t match newer rivals’ sophistication, but the all-wheel-drive machine is robustly built and packed with kit. You’ll need to put down a hefty £9,118.40 deposit to secure the deal, followed by an optional final payment of £9,592, but an APR of 5.9 per cent and two years’ free servicing are worth shouting about.
