The Nissan Pathfinder continues to evolve as one of the most capable and family-oriented SUVs in the Nissan lineup. With a bold design, powerful engine options, advanced safety features, and spacious seating for up to eight passengers, the Pathfinder is built for Kenyan families, adventurers, and professionals alike. Whether you're navigating urban traffic in Nairobi or heading off-road into the countryside, the Pathfinder offers a refined yet rugged driving experience.
As a full-size SUV with a global reputation for durability and innovation, the Nissan Pathfinder remains a top choice for those seeking comfort, performance, and intelligent all-wheel drive capability in one well-rounded package.
Under the hood, the Nissan Pathfinder is equipped with a dependable 3.5L V6 engine, paired with either a 9-speed automatic transmission or, in earlier models, a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The newest generation offers impressive towing capacity and greater responsiveness thanks to its new gear-driven setup and drive mode selector.

Inside the Pathfinder, you'll find a well-appointed cabin designed to accommodate up to eight passengers. Premium trims feature quilted leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, tri-zone climate control, and a large digital dashboard. The third-row seats are easily accessible, and cargo capacity is generous with folding second and third rows.
