Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Reviewers have mixed opinions on the Nissan Pathfinder's exterior, which features styling from its 2005 redesign. For 2008, minor changes included updated front and rear styling and new wheel designs. Rugged features include a front bumper underguard, a lower radiator skid plate and a tow receiver hitch.

  • "Bearing a strong resemblance to its big brother Armada, the new Pathfinder boasts sharp lines, bulging fenders, short overhangs, and 16-inch wheels, for a modern, aggressive look." -- Motor Week
  • "After a year of passing Nissan's big daddy Armada on the streets, I'm still not overly fond of its exterior design. To me it looks like two vehicles cobbled together. And seeing the new Pathfinder's similar look didn't exactly make me want to sing and dance." -- Edmunds
