Japanese cars are quite popular in Russia.The Nissan brand is no exception. SUVs are especially in demand in our area. And today we will not talk about the "X-Trail", which largely belongs to the crossovers. In this article we will pay attention to this, full-size jeep, which has deep roots and originates in the 80s. This is the Nissan Pathfinder. The machine is available in several generations. We consider the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. This is an SUV in the 51st body, mass-produced from 2005 to 2014. (in the 13th was a deep restyling).
Appearance
The car is notable for itsexpressive forms and strict design. This is a real male jeep with brutal lines and massive wheel arches. In front of the car it flaunts a wide chrome grille and a huge bumper with round halogen foglights. The main optics is xenon. Judging by the reviews, it shines pretty well. The roof of an off-road vehicle is almost flat, with massive roof rails for securing the additional airbox. You can also install on the Nissan Pathfinder 2013 bump stop on the trunk or spoiler. The steps here are put already from the factory. Despite more than ten years of age, this car still commands respect and does not look outdated.
Что говорят про Nissan Pathfinder 2013 отзывы?The owners note that the paintwork is not of high quality. So, often on an SUV chipped, especially in the front of the body. Over the years, the base enamel begins to swell. The most vulnerable areas are wheel arches, hood, tailgate and the line at the windshield. Also, the owners of the Nissan Pathfinder 2013 face cracked headlights and faulty headlight optics hose.
Dimensions, clearance
The car has impressive dimensions.Thus, the length of the body is 4.81 meters, width - 1.85, height - 1.78 meters. The size of the wheelbase - 2853 millimeters. But what is most interesting is the clearance. The amount of ground clearance of the new "Nissan Pathfinder" 2013 is 23 centimeters. And this is taking into account the factory steps. The car has a good angle of arrival and exit. This parameter is 33 and 27 degrees respectively. According to reviews, the Nissan Pathfinder 2013 is able to overcome fords up to 45 centimeters.
Salon
Landing in the car is quite comfortable thanks toextra handles and wide steps. Inside, the SUV looks no less brutal than the outside. The car is quite spacious. Enough space to accommodate up to six passengers. By default, the cabin has two rows of seats. However, the car can be equipped with a third, which will be located in the trunk. The front panel is distinguished by its massiveness. Inside, a lot of rough shapes and lines. Steering wheel - three-spoke, with a small set of buttons. The instrument panel - arrow. On the wide center console there is a multimedia display with navigation. Nearby is a CD-radio and air conditioning.
Are there any drawbacks in the cabin at the "Nissan"Pathfinder »2013? Nissan Pathfinder in the body of the R51 (as well as its predecessors) is not distinguished by high quality finishing materials. Plastic hard enough and eventually begins to creak on the bumps. Often, the owners of off-road cars Nissan Pathfinder 2013 face such a problem as the appearance of moisture in the cabin. This is due to the wear of the sealing gum in the area of the upper racks. And water usually accumulates on the ceiling and noticeably spoils the look of the cabin, causing the characteristic traces of stains. Also, liquid appears at the front passenger's feet. The reason for this is the tailgate washer hose. You need to check its mount and, if necessary, tighten.
Another Malfunction - Inoperativewindows. On the SUV can move contacts buttons. Sometimes, due to poor contact, the seats also do not work (and not only adjustments, but also electric heating). Diesel "Nissans" warm up for a very long time, the motor of the stove is noisy. Over the years, rusting tube air conditioner. The latter are in a rather vulnerable place - under the bottom. Because of this, they are highly susceptible to corrosion.
Trunk
If we talk about the seven-seater version, becausethe extra row of seats the trunk volume will be small - only 300 liters. However, this series can be easily dismantled. Thus, the volume increases to 515 liters. But that's not all. The second row of seats can be folded in different proportions, forming a flat floor.
As a result, the maximum amount of luggageoffices is just over two thousand liters. All is well, if not for the reserve. It is not on the back lyad and not at all under the raised floor in the trunk. Her Japanese placed under the bottom. To get to it is very difficult, as evidenced by reviews of the owners of Nissan Pathfinder 3. What else do car owners pay attention to?
Specifications
Данный автомобиль укомплектовывался несколькими power units. Among them was one gasoline engine per four liters and 260 forces, as well as three diesel. The last line was opened by a 2.5-liter unit with 174 horsepower. Intermediate was a 190-horsepower engine with the same working volume. The top in the line of "solid fuel" was a three-liter turbocharged engine. What are the specifications for this Nissan Pathfinder? With its volume, this motor develops 230 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque.
What say reviews about diesel engines?They are fairly reliable, but only with regular maintenance. However, there are cases when the fuel equipment fails prematurely. The reason for this is low-quality diesel fuel. On models younger than 2010, there were problems with a drop in thrust and acceleration dynamics. The problem was solved by flashing the electronic engine control unit. But this malfunction did not always go away. In the end, the owners had to change the configuration of the turbine or repair it. But usually the turbocharger on the "Nissan" easily goes up to 350 thousand kilometers.
В дизельном Nissan Pathfinder 2.5 there is an element such as a particulate filter. Many people complain about his resource. The filter often fails ahead of time. Replacing the carbon black element is quite an expensive procedure, so many simply cut out this element and install an emulator. Also, on 2.5-liter cars, the engine is prone to overheating, which is why it drives the head of the block (noticeably cracks appear on the block itself). As for the three-liter diesel engine, here the owners note the low resource of the air radiator pipes (intercooler). They break down after 50 thousand kilometers. Also, over time, the car klinit exhaust gas recirculation valve. The problem is solved by the USR valve plug with subsequent flashing of the electronic control unit. The cost of these works is about twenty thousand rubles. Independent work is difficult to perform - only in the workshop.
Problems with the gasoline engine
Now about the gasoline engine.Often, owners are faced with the problem of destruction of the catalyst filler. Its particles can penetrate into the cylinders and thereby form a teaser. Therefore, at the expiration of the service life (it usually happens on a run of 80 thousand kilometers), the catalytic converter is cut out and a hollow tube is installed in its place - a flame arrester. However, this procedure is impossible without reflashing the computer, otherwise the engine will consume more fuel, and the “Check” will be constantly on the panel. Even on the petrol "Nissan" may refuse fuel level sensor. And it changes with the submersible fuel pump. And for this you need to completely dismantle the fuel tank. More on the run of 100 thousand fails the generator coupling and bearing. A characteristic sign of breakage is a loud squeak and crackle coming from under the hood.
Dynamics, consumption
Consider the performance characteristics of NissanPathfinder 2013. Japanese SUV has a good accelerating dynamics. So, up to a hundred car rushes in 9-11 seconds, depending on the type of engine and the box (we will look at it a little later). The maximum speed ranges from 186 to 200 kilometers per hour. If we talk about fuel consumption, diesel engines consume about nine to ten liters in mixed mode. But the gasoline engine is quite voracious, as the owners say. In the combined cycle, it consumes at least 15, and in the city the figure can go up to 20 liters.
Transmission
The car is completed with several gearboxes:
- Five-speed mechanics.
- Six-speed mechanics.
- Seven automatic range.
The first two boxes are mainly found on2.5-liter diesel engines. What they say about manual transmission on the "Nissan Pathfinder 2013 & raquo; reviews? The owners say that this box is quite reliable, but there are problems with the clutch. The disc wears through 70 thousand kilometers, and the original element costs about $ 500.
Pro automatic box
Она не имеет серьезных проблем, однако ресурс ее limited As the operating experience shows, the automatic transmission on the Nissan Pathfinder SUV runs no more than 300 thousand kilometers. Then she begins to kick and "stupid." And this happens even with the timely replacement of ATP-liquid, which is produced every 60 thousand kilometers. In order to delay the repair as much as possible, owners advise to avoid frequent clutch slippings and to avoid towing heavy cars. Also, the automatic transmission does not like off-road. Because of this, the cooling radiator wears out, because of which the antifreeze penetrates into the ATP-liquid. For a long time to work on such a mixture box will not.
Chassis
The car is built on a frame structure and hasfully independent suspension. Because of this, the machine is characterized by high smoothness and good handling. If we talk about the reliability of the suspension, this question depends on the operating conditions of the car. So, on original spare parts it goes about 100 thousand kilometers. Weak places are considered bushings and anti-roll bar. They break down after 40 thousand kilometers. And if the car was used on the roads, then completely after 15-20. Ball bearings have a resource of 80 thousand. They change together with levers, which significantly beats the pocket of the owner. Wheel bearings and shock absorbers go up to 120 thousand.
Steering
Steering is at all differently.Some repair the rail after 50 thousand runs, others do not touch it after 180 thousand. Also, the owners cause complaints about the transfer case. But in most cases, its malfunction is associated with improper operation. Razdatku can not be used on an asphalt road. Otherwise, vibrations and a characteristic hum can appear. In this case, you need to replace the cross of the propeller shaft. If razdatka begins to flow, it is necessary to change the glands. Last nursed about 120 thousand in moderate use.
Summing up
So, we found out what the Nissan Pathfinder has2013 specifications and features. As you can see, the car is not devoid of "pitfalls". Therefore, when buying, you need to carefully look at the state of the car (after all, the 51st body can be found only in the secondary market). Do not buy a knowingly faulty SUV, even at a "sweet" price. The cost of repairs can be up to half the price of the car itself. Therefore, it is better to take a copy that is on the go.
Summing up, we note the main advantages of this SUV:
- Strict and solid design.
- Good performance permeability.
- Spacious interior and roomy trunk.
- Reliable engine.
- Comfortable suspension.
Among the main disadvantages are the following:
- Weak paintwork.
- High fuel consumption (for gasoline version).
- Cheap interior trim materials.
- The high cost of spare parts.
- Limited resource automatic transmission.
All these nuances should be taken into account, intending to buy in the secondary market the Japanese SUV "Nissan Pathfinder".
