What's New for the 2004 Nissan Pathfinder?
For 2004, Nissan has renamed the top-shelf LE trim line as the Platinum Edition. It includes special edition badges, body color door handles, electroluminescent gauges, platinum-color wheels, an aluminum kick plate with the Pathfinder logo and dark wood-toned trim. Appropriately, a new platinum paint color is optional on this version of the Nissan Pathfinder. Two other new exterior colors also debut - Canteen and Luminous Gold.
Advantages of the 2004 Nissan Pathfinder:
- Excellent, flexible power from its 250-horsepower V6 engine
- Admirable off-road capabilities
- Composed on-road manners
- Near-perfect interior ergonomics
Objections to the 2004 Nissan Pathfinder: - Tight squeeze for adults in the rear seat
- Overly complicated four-wheel drive engagement
Editor's Advice:
The second-generation Nissan Pathfinder is in its ninth and final year of production. While that’s a lifetime in car years, make no mistake; this is still one of our favorite SUVs, combining acceptable boulder-bashing abilities with a spacious cargo hold (85 cubic feet with the rear seats folded) and a docile, smooth-riding demeanor for on-road travels. Its smooth, powerful engine remains one of the best in its class and the cabin is one of the most civilized you’ll find in a mainstream midsize SUV. Next year, an all-new Nissan Pathfinder debuts, and early indicators are that Nissan has another big hit on its hands. Still the 2004 Nissan Pathfinder has aged exceptionally well, and great bargains are likely to be had as dealers clear stock for the redesigned 2005 model.
