The 2024 Pathfinder range has been expanded, reintroducing a more "accessible entry point" (cheaper) to Nissan’s adventure-ready family SUV, with the ST-L now joining the Ti and Ti-L in the three-model lineup. It means there's a $22,820 gap between the cheapest model and the most expensive.
Available in both 2WD and 4WD, the ST-L joins another reintroduced entrant for 2024, the Ti 2WD, to bring the total number of grades and driving configurations in the Pathfinder family to five.
“We have always wanted as many people as possible to experience Nissan’s adventure-ready family SUV and the reintroduction of the ST-L grade only expands the Pathfinder’s appeal further,” says Nissan Australia Marketing Director, Sriram Padmanabhan.
“With eight seats, the choice of two- or four-wheel drive, and the confidence of a powerful-yet-efficient V6 engine, the Pathfinder ST-L has room for everyone to go almost anywhere.”
Entry point though it is, the Pathfinder ST-L includes 18-inch alloy wheels, dusk-sensing LED headlights with High Beam Assist and daytime running lights, LED front fog lights, a powered tailgate and roof rails.
In the cabin, the ST-L has a 7.0” TFT Advanced Drive-Assist® Display, 10.8” Head-Up Display and 9.0” touchscreen with navigation, inbuilt Android Auto™> and wireless Apple CarPlay®>, and four USB ports. Heated front seats and tri-zone air-conditioning keep everyone snug.
It includes the full suite of updates first introduced with the launch of the all-new fifth-generation Pathfinder, including what Nissan describe as its "commanding road presence, delivered through its strong front face, wide stance, flared arches and shorter front overhang (versus the previous design)."
All Pathfinders have the direct-injection 3.5-litre petrol V6 (202kW @ 6400rpm and 340Nm @ 4800rpm), paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission.
It has a 2.7-tonne braked towing capacity, while the Drive and Terrain Mode Selector can shift between Standard, Sport, Eco, Snow and Tow modes in 2WD models. The 4WD models add Mud and Sand modes.
Safety features include Nissan's Intelligent Mobility safety suite. Here it is:
Predictive Forward Collision Warning with Junction Assist and Emergency Braking (calibrated for pedestrians and cyclists)
Driver Attention Alert
Blind Spot Warning and Intervention
Lane Departure Warning and Prevention
Rear Cross Traffic Alert and back-up collision intervention
Intelligent Cruise Control with adjustable speed limiter
Traffic Sign Recognition with overspeed prevention
There are nine airbags, including a far-side airbag, a Digital Around View Monitor with moving object detection and Nissan’s ProPILOT⁺ semi-autonomous driving assistance package.
Still no diesel.
