Nissan Pathfinder test drive since 2010 SUV
Winter test drive updated Nissan Pathfinder from Drom.ru. Hard worker
The Nissan Pathfinder during its production since 2005 has gained an image of a utilitarian car in our country. For this, his design always spoke (both external and internal), as well as obvious off -road roots that were present in its frame structure. Most buyers chose this car not at all because of show-offs, but to honestly fulfill the tasks. In the summer, the car was a little updated and improved by polishing its essence. The external data of the investigation (and this is how the name is translated for Russian hearing) was left almost into inviolability. This is good when it comes to the front in front. Here, the complete order, even taking into account the fact that the car was drawn in the middle of the last decade, a powerful shiny grill, headlights of an interesting shape, corrugated hood, pronounced wheel arches and a new shape of the front air intake, which you will not immediately notice. But the back could be redrawn. With these modest lanterns, she looks very simple.
The insides of the SUV became more presentable. It was well the old cheap plastic salon looked appropriate for a practical navar, but in the framework of a large jeep it was simply lost. From now on, there are plenty of elastic plastic on the front panel, which is pleasant to feel, for example, standing in a traffic jam. And the eye rejoices in new optestone devices read and they look noticeably better than on the old version.
The central console was modified. She is crowned with a large color display. This is displayed indications of navigation, on -board computer, a picture from the rear view camera. Through this monitor, you can control the multimedia system, which allows you to record on your hard drive to 9 GB information and play DVDs, but only if the machine selector is in Parking mode. The audio system of the ranger sounds quite well.
Pathfinder is quite strong in practical matters. Here he can offer a spacious second row of seats, as well as a seven -seater layout of the cabin. Of course, there are not so many places on the gallery, but you can plant a couple of particularly noisy children without problems. The third row is on the floor with the floor, forming a fairly convenient luggage compartment, which, of course, can be increased, folding more of the second row.
As before, under the hood of Pathfinder is a motor decorated with a decorative lid with the inscription V6. The same nameplates can be found on the front doors, only now they mean now not what before. Before restyling in the Russian market, a version with a 4-liter gasoline V6 with a capacity of 271 hp was sold, now cars with such an engine to Europe and Russia are not supplied, their destiny of the overseas market. By the way, even a version with V8 is found there.
However, you should not be particularly upset about this. Both diesel engines are new and good. The updated four -cylinder engine with a volume of 2.5 liters has a power of 190 hp. With a torque of 450 nm, and the new three -liter turbodiesel is completely a monster 231 hp. and 550 Nm. Therefore, our Pathfinder not only accelerates to hundreds in 8.9 seconds (which is 0.1 seconds better than with a 4-liter V6) and gains 200 km/h, but is also able to tow a trailer weighing up to 3.5 tons. Three gearboxes can work paired with motors. With a 2.5-liter engine 6-speed mechanics or a 5-speed automatic. For V6, only a new 7-speed automatic is provided. I get a job quickly. The chair is equipped with electro -regulations, which helps to quickly find the right position. Enough of the steering wheel adjustments. The chip key remains to lie in the pocket, but the car is started not from the button, but with the help of a spinning handle to the right of the steering column.
The diesel engine works at idle in a very restraint! The new unit is very well balanced and practically does not convey to the body such characteristic vibrations. Yes, and his sound is pleasant without tarrament, with exciting notes on high (by diesel standards) revolutions.
The motor makes sense to twist to about 4 thousand revolutions, although the red tachometer zone starts at 5,000. The peak of torque is here for a gap from 1,750 to 2,800 rpm, when an avalanche of 550 nm falls on the wheels. Therefore, a seven -speed gearbox with convergen -member of the numbers turns out to be the most inactive here. The effectiveness of the implementation of power and moment is on top.
And the sensations from acceleration do not suffer! A heavy SUV breaks off with the ease of the trolleybus of traction so much and it is so accessible so that it seems that you are going on an electric car! By the way, the new machine only adds illusory to this process, providing a smooth and inconspicuous shift of gears. This modern box acts perfectly, falling down in time by one or two steps. In general, only five are behind the tandem. There is an excellent dynamics and possibilities to manage it. Plus, a fuel consumption that has fallen significantly compared to a gasoline engine. If the latter ate about 17-22 liters of fuel per hundred, then this one is 5-7 less.
The car suspension remained unchanged. Here, as before, a two -lever is working in front, and a multi -link scheme is behind. The chassis settings are compromised in nature, in the good sense of the word. The chassis is moderately tough and moderately comfortable. Despite its frame entity, this SUV is controlled. The steering with sufficient feedback, and the rolls and clinks with squats are onion and are not brought into the process of controlling tangible minuses.
The exchange rate stability of a rather big station wagon at a decent level. It goes in a straight line at a speed of 120-140 km/h and will not move. But if you add and keep the speed in the region of 160-180 km/h, then you already need to be prepared for trajectory deviations and a few straining void in the near-operation position of the steering wheel. However, from this frame car on the studded winter wheels, no one was waiting for filigree handling at such speed. Although recall, Pathfinder will go on the passport and all 200.
The updated car now flaunts 18 discs, but the rubber is still highly profile, which is why it is completely not scary to move off the off-road on these rinks. The arsenal has an arsenal for its conquest. Firstly, this is a layout with short overhangs and a normal road clearance of almost a quarter meter (233 mm). Secondly, the frame design. Thirdly, a long-term suspension configured with an accent on off-road. Fourth, all-wheel drive with the possibility of turning on a reduced gear (though there are no forced locks here). Well, the last special ESP algorithm, which is involved when you include this decreased gear. For a sweet help mode when descending a hill with the possibility of changing speeds in real time. Well, the traction motor will also help. With this arsenal, we conquered different steepness of the hills in one of the Moscow quarries. The physical capabilities of patency turned out to be limited only by winter rubber and ice, which in some places appeared under the snow. In the summer, it seems that this SUV was capable of much more. You can become the owner of such a car by possessing an amount of about one and a half million rubles (1,493,000 for the basic version with a 2.5 engine and mechanics). The Pathfinder we tested in the top version is estimated at 2,049,000 rubles. In the case of a ranger (even after its updating), we can say that all this money goes simply for an honest and quite high -quality car. Ponte is not attached. As for the update, it improved this car where it was necessary. A modern diesel engine and an automatic machine, plus the interior updated quality, made the appearance of the car finished.
