DX22 2.4 CR deisel, claims you can get 9L/100, what a load of BS.
I’m lucky to get 12L/100 highway driving, even worse city or towing.
Mechanics claim they can do nothing, they have no idea, Nissan do not respond to my queries.

Advertised as 8L/100 highway or better.

Avoid Nissan like the plague, you’re better off with a v8 petrol, it’ll still cream the Navara for power, mileage and running costs.

Never buy a Nissan.

Considering how nissan treated its customers when they had and are still having huge problems with the 3ltr patrol motors blowing up its a wonder anyone buys nissan products at all.

I read that it will land here in the new year for an astronomical $75,000. That’s a hell of a big ask for a V6 diesel over the standard STX. Sure it will no doubt have some extra trinkets but they are still asking somehwere around $25,000 just for that engine if the rumours are true.

Reading and viewing the new Pathfinder diesel V6 turbo my excitement rose at the thought of towing the van with something other than a big Patrol or Landcrusier. Nissan wake up and realise the sheer demand in the market place by grey nomads for a gutsy tow vehicle with creature conforts. Not everybody wants the harsh ride of a duel cab ute. I for one love the look of the Pathfinder and await a V6

Apparently Nissan has announced that it will now be bringing in a limited edition of the V6 diesel for a gobsmacking (are you sitting down?) $75,990. Even with a few extra trinkets that means they are charging an extra $25,000 for the motor at least over a standard 2.5ltr STX. What a joke.

Me again! Well I finally bought a Pathfinder ST-L auto [for the wife to drive] and the Dandenong dealership were better than others. After delivery I received 1 mail and 1 online survey from Nissan asking about my thoughts on the dealer NOT the vehicle!!!
So far I am fairly happy – it is more luxury than I have ever had before and the economy is pretty good, long drives return around 8L per 100Km [at 100kph or less], around town 9 to 10.
Minuses –
1/ Being an electrician I am nervous about how long all the computerised and electrical gadgets will last before inevitable failure or repair.
2/ No where near enough handy storage spaces for tools and absolute minimum tool kit provided – my old Navara 97 twin cab ute was far better for stowage but again not as good for sleeping in.
3/ The instrument panel is VERY poor, very small dials, smallish digital readouts [almost good enough] but in daylight you can barely see the speedo markings especially the 50 & 70 divisions and you must have clear speedo readability these days with Govts chasing revenue. You can see the dials better with the parking or headlights on.
All in all I am happy with it but frustrated with the companies refusal to listen to owners suggestions.

The 3500 kg towing capacity will really put a cat amongst the pigeons now. The Prado and Pajero do not have 3500 kg towing capacity on their vehicles currently.
