2009 Nissan Pathfinder facelift spied

Having undergone a subtle facelift, it’s odd that engineers have even bothered with camouflage as it would have most likely passed by unnoticed otherwise.

Its mid-life facelift consists of little more than some fine tuning to the front and rear bumpers as well as the grille perhaps - really it looks identical, but the duct tape suggests otherwise.

Every other part of the new car will remain identical including its underpinnings, mechanics, engine line-up and interior.

However an entirely new model is due to arrive sometime after 2012.
