Test drive Nissan Pathfinder 2013 - NV SUV
Test drive Nissan Pathfinder 3.0 DCI: Anti-Glack
Nissan Pathfinder of the current generation will still be delayed in Russia, but its fate has already been resolved. We escort to the last let a brutal ranger.
See what they turned into the new Nissan Pathfinder! Where is the frame body? Where is the reducing transmission and forced blocking of the center differential? Where is the brutal appearance, after all? It is difficult to even imagine how the owners of the current model will explain that the next generation was presented not in the forest swamp, but on the pages of Facebook.
It seems that this is also understood in the Russian representative office of Nissan, and therefore Pathfinder in the new body is still a distant prospect. And good, because the loss from the model range is not very good, but still an affordable utilitarian SUV would be akin to the resolution of gay parades in the square near the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. In the current version, the model will last at least another year, and in our editorial office the most serious and advanced version of the car has been: with a new 3.0-liter turbodiesel, which has an unusual angle of the collapse of cylinders of 65 degrees, and a 7-speed automatic.
The main problem of the Nissan Pathfinder, which came into the mud trap, the rear overhang, which he got from the base with the Navara pickup.
I must say right away that the Niva, which we took with us as insurance for testing Pathfinder with snow, slush and clay, laid the Japanese on the shoulder blades almost immediately. The forest near Moscow turned out to be a difficult test for the ranger, and first of all the large overhangs of the body are to blame.
In order not to spoil the plastic bumers of the test car, in every narrow place or deep ditch I had to get out of the cabin, knead the dirt with boots and scream in the open window for the driver in the direction of movement. The steps on the thresholds strove to bend when crossing the fallen trees, and the studded winter wheels did not want to cling to frozen soil.
The off -road in Russia is primarily good tires, but on the studded road rubber Nissan Pathfinder scooped itself even from a completely adely mixture of clay, water and ice.
Nissan Pathfinder is in the reserve of dope: 231 l. p., 550 Nm of the maximum torque, available from 1,700 to 2,500 rpm. Moreover, 500 Nm is given by the engine at 1,500 rpm. A frame SUV weighing 2,285 kg and with passengers on board the rush like a tank, despite the load, the angles of the rise and the number of clay lumps under the wheels. But it is worth getting to a narrow place among trees or a hole, as the giant becomes crowded. A rear -view camera, sprayed with mud, conveys something slurred to the monitor, and then you think about why there are no parking sensors in the configuration.
The interior seemed too gloomy to me, and most importantly, not reflecting the wealth that is hidden in it. Others will say that for a real SUV you do not need anything else, and will also be right.
As a result, passengers wet their legs in the ice slide, the driver receives a mud spit from under the wheels through the window, and the Nissan Pathfinder, like a sperm whale, is trying to get out of the natural trap. In order not to demolish any tree behind, I turn on the lowering. Fortunately, the SUV is capable of such male deeds, although it does this using electronics, only when completely stopped and with simultaneous turning off the stabilization system. It also imitates the blocking of inter -fire differentials closes the steel jaws of the calipers on the boxing wheel, sending the missing portion of traction to the opposite.
With such forest parameters, you can hardly be considered its plate for Nissan Pathfinder. He would have hard soil under his feet, smaller stones and trees around, and then the SUV will show himself in full. Under the thoroughbred howl from under the hood, it will accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.9 seconds, frightening city hatchbacks and budget sedans around. At least a house on wheels, and without trembling, he will pull the floor of your life and all the entertainment attached to it, smoothly sorting out seven transmissions of the hardy transmission.
Everything is clear here even to the baby: if you want to move back the automatic transmission back, if you want to leave the mud Twit Twilk. The brain begins to strain only while communicating with the multimedia system and its central joystick this item could be considered more logical.
Apart from the annoying absence of parking sensors, the only one available to the 3.0 DCI engine is offers everything that is needed. Safety pillows, electric lover, separate climate control, seats, navigation with a hard drive, an audio system with a subwoofer, Bluetooth and even an archaic DVD player, not to mention a leather seven-seater salon, rain and light sensors and the similarity of the buttons of the engine with the access function into a car without a key.
Gas on the floor on the asphalt or in the even field, and the Nissan Pathfinder will make you grin from the pleasure and power of the turbodiesel 3.0 DCI.
Not knowing everything in advance and for the first time in the Pathfinder salon, you will think that I lied to the paragraph above. Looking around everything around, it seems that the interior of the SUV is similar to the one that was in the car of the Flintstouns. It confuses the touch screen of the multimedia navigation system, but the rest of the finish, buttons, ergonomics clearly stopped somewhere in the last century.
The rear wheel of the SUV was easy to hang. This is not visible in the photo, but, believe me, the moves of the SUV suspension are not so long, and for persuasiveness, watch the video in the middle of the article.
There are pluses in this. The whole image of a brutal SUV allows you to wipe dirty hands on jeans without a twinge of conscience, then flop into leather seats and put a clay boot on the pedals. That is exactly how the real man should handle the plain for 2,275,000 rubles, despising metroxuals on the BMW X5 and Audi Q7. However, the Nissan Pathfinder has not long to live for a prehistoric anti -criminal image, and we already know what it will become later.
