Nissan Pathfinder - Pictures

The Pathfinder isn't as luxurious as rivals like the Land Rover Discovery 4.

The Nissan's interior has plenty of kit, and feels solidly constructed and built to last.

The Pathfinder is only available with one engine - a thirsty 2.5-litre diesel which does a reasonably good job of dealing with the cars bulk.

The automatic gearbox is a better option as the manual has a vague and awkward shift.

The Pathfinder is nearly unstoppable off-road - but it doesn't have the on-road prowess of its rivals.

There's plenty of room for seven people when you need it.

The seats all fold flat into the floor to create a vast load area.
