It was a couple of years ago when Nissan introduced the fifth-generation Pathfinder in the United States for the 2022MY but the three-row SUV has yet to make it to China. At the ongoing Auto Shanghai, a namesake concept previews the latest model, but with a twist considering it's not a carbon copy of the North American variant. We're being told the family hauler has been redesigned to cater to Chinese tastes.
It's easy to see we are essentially dealing with the same body but there are now new front and rear light bars lending the Pathfinder concept a more modern look. The headlights have a sleeker appearance and there are separate daytime running lights blending in with a much wider grille than on the US-spec model. Nissan has redesigned the front bumper and has deleted the fog lights to enable a cleaner look.
