2013 Nissan Pathfinder Vs 150 Series Toyota LandCruiser Prado


Toyota LandCruiser Prado
VS
Nissan Pathfinder

Here’s a quick comparison between the 150 series Toyota Land Cruiser Prado and the all new 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. For 2013 Nissan have   completely redesigned the badge. No longer a ‘heavy duty’ 4WD off roader the Pathfinder has become a SUV with more on road ability and comparable to the Toyota Kluger. 

The pictures reveal a ruggedly styled but good looking medium sized SUV. The interior is inspired by the company’s Infiniti branded cars and everything looks good quality and quite stylish. We expect the new Pathfinder to be announced for world wide deliveries later in 2012 (October?) or mid next year. We have no idea what sort of engines or equipment levels we will be getting but guessing – the Z370 derived V6 engine and the V9X diesel.

Since it was only officially announced last week August 1st, we can’t say much about it except from the press releases and pictures!

We’ll update the page as more details become available.
