1990 - 1995 Nissan Pathfinder Pre-Owned

Its station wagon practicality, however, was wonderfully convenient. A single-piece liftgate opened up to a commodious cargo area of 889 L (31.4 cu ft), even bigger at 2,265 L (80.0 cu ft) if the split rear seatbacks were dropped forward.

When the rear seats were upright sufficient shoulder and hip room was available for three adult passengers, plus at 841 mm (33.1 in) there was more than enough legroom. Driver and front passenger had ample room too, plus the majority of convenience and comfort items available on luxury cars of the day if fully optioned out.

With the competition heating up Nissan couldn't stand still, despite the Pathfinder's popularity. Therefore 1993 saw a few updates, including new fenders and redesigned front and rear fascias.

Not as obvious, the inner door beams were strengthened to improve side-impact crash protection. The following year Nissan made what is probably the car's biggest improvement over its six year run, a substantially revised dash and instrument cluster. Gone was the sharp edged styling that was once extremely fashionable, replaced by a softer looking design.

Looking back, 1990 to 1995 (1993 through 1995 especially) Pathfinders still look quite good next to more modern SUVs. Considering the vehicle's much better than average reliability compared to competitors of the era, Nissan's SUV is a worthy pre-owned sport utility.
