Overview 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. Yearly Updates 1997 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 Pathfinder Pathfinders were essentially unchanged for 1998.

1999 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 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. Softer-riding than before, with additional rear seat and cargo room, the new Pathfinder also delivers better acceleration and has a more modern dashboard. Because of its relatively low ride height, getting in and out of the front seats is easy. Despite large rear doors, however, the back seat presents more of a challenge, partly because those doors do not open 90 degrees.

There’s little room to swing your feet and legs through the narrow opening. The V6 engine is smoother than in the previous model, though a heavy throttle foot yields a loud engine roar–too gruff and growly when worked hard. The 2001 V6 brought Pathfinder/QX4 up to par with the competition. ’01 Nissans claimed 0-60 mph in 8.8 sec–2.1 sec faster than earlier models. Low-speed response is good, though a Pathfinder cannot beat its domestic rivals–with V8 engines–in all-out acceleration. Manual aq200d.

Fuel economy is on the dismal side, like most SUVs. An SE 4×4 with automatic averaged a meager 14.1 mpg in a combination of city, suburban, and highway driving. Ride and handling rank among the most carlike in the sport-utility field.

A tight suspension and linear steering contribute to a sense of control. Even so, you get a surprising amount of body lean and tire squeal during fast turns. The ride is firm, but devoid of harshness over bumps. Road and wind noise are low. The Pathfinder’s dashboard is one of the most user-friendly you can find, with all controls easy to see and reach.

Head room is good all around, if not exceptional, but the rear seat offers barely enough leg room for anyone taller than about 5-foot-10. Worse yet, toe room is scant under the front seats. Cargo space is good, but folding the rear seats requires tilting the cushion, then removing the head restraints so the backrests can lie flat. Thick side roof pillars might impair the driver’s over-the-shoulder views.

Trouble Spots Airbags Description: Airbag-indicator light may flash, indicating a failure. Dealer will replace the SRS (supplemental restraint system) sensor under warranty.

(1996) Brake noise Description: A high-pitched squeal or whistle from the area of the front brakes is eliminated by replacing the baffle plate on both sides. (1996-98) Audio system Description: The radio may loose its presets and the clock its time due to voltage spikes. A replacement radio, less susceptible to this problem, is available. (1996) Suspension noise Description: The front suspension squeaks on rough roads due to a problem between the strut rod and rubber bumper.

(1996) Vehicle shake Description: Vibrations at 30-40 mph are often the result of the front driveshaft being installed out of phase. (1996-97) Wheels Description: The black anodized lug nuts’ surfaces corrode (looking light white dust spots). Nissan will replace them with chrome lug nuts.

Recall History 1996 Pathfinder Description: Due to type of lubricant used, steering-wheel effort at low ambient temperatures could increase. 1996 Pathfinder Description: Carpet padding on some vehicles could be too thick, catching driver’s right foot.
