The 2022 Pathfinder is the first in the nameplate's history to come standard as an 8-seater with second-row bucket seats.
The fourth-generation Pathfinder dropped its body-on-frame construction for a unibody crossover platform shared with the Nissan Altima and Infiniti JX.
This was the first Pathfinder ever offered with a third row of seats — a whole generation before Nissan made it a given.
By 2002 this Pathfinder had been squeezed out of its own home market — Nissan handed its Japanese spot to a brand-new model, the Murano.
When Nissan finally gave the first Pathfinder four doors, it hid the rear handles in the C-pillar trim — so from the outside, it still read as a two-door truck wearing a camper shell.

Despite launching from a standing start in late 2025, the i60 topped GAC Aion's own sales chart through January's seasonal slowdown.
Every Defender before this one was body-on-frame — this generation broke decades of tradition with an aluminium unibody structure instead.
Crashed on the passenger side instead of the driver's, the 2014 Forester showed far more intrusion and would have rated Marginal with the IIHS.
Subaru built a 2.5XT for the National Ski Patrol with a diamond-plate floor, a 9,500-pound winch and a toboggan on the roof.
