Detroit 2012: Nissan Pathfinder Concept

The Nissan Pathfinder Concept has been revealed on Facebook just ahead of its launch at the Detroit motor show 2012.

The concept car is longer and wider than the current Pathfinder. Nissan is keen to emphasise that the Detroit show car is just a concept, it does give a good idea of what the next generation of Pathfinder will look like when it goes on sale in the next couple of years.

Like the current car, the Pathfinder Concept seats seven over three rows, however there's no word on engine line-up yet.

The concept car unveiled at Detroit has a V6 petrol engine for the US market combined with Nissan's next-generation CVT gearbox. Nissan says this gives a 25% improvement in fuel economy over the current version.
