New Nissan Pathfinder ST same price as Territory

[csv8]

The Japanese marque's new, more car-like SUV is priced from under $40,000 to compete with the likes of the Toyota Kluger and Ford Territory. The rugged ute-based vehicle currently on sale starts from $48,890.

Like the Kluger, the new Pathfinder will have a powerful V6 under the bonnet expected to make around 190kW of power. There will be no diesel option, but a supercharged hybrid model might be around the corner.

The Pathfinder will be $500 cheaper than the Toyota, and priced on par with the entry-level Ford Territory at $39,990 plus on-road costs.
