Gas distribution system has become complex and dynamic management. The same engine equipped with electronic systems more complex: SOFIS (advanced fuel injection system optimization), ECCS (system of ongoing monitoring), OBDII (on-board diagnostic system), NCVCS (opening time management system inlet valves), NDIS (direct ignition system), NVIS (a system variable inlet system), etc.

So, optics: parabolic headlights installed closed antidamage glass. There are many electrical devices which facilitate the life of the driver: heated door locks, automatic switching sensor headlamps, depending on the lighting, alarm Vehicle Security System (VSS), operated keychain.

A car carrying received a new steel-frame structures. Short overhangs body should allow him to better cope with the roads. Separately opening rear glass doors - to facilitate the loading of baggage.
The main principles on which created the third generation Pathfinder - more capacity and more patency.
Novelty will be issued in one of the company's plants in the United States.
