The 2002 Nissan Pathfinder belongs to the vehicle's second generation and is a top choice for a midsize SUV. It demonstrates impressive engine performance with its 3.5L V6 that produces a substantial 240 horsepower, mated to either a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmission. Traditional body-on-frame construction and available four-wheel drive grant it off-road competence. The Pathfinder is offered in three trim levels - XE, SE, and LE, with the LE being the most luxurious. Key safety features include side-curtain airbags, ABS brakes, and a rollover sensor. Though it lacks modern infotainment features compared to recent models, it does have a premium Bose audio system. Despite its age, the 2002 Pathfinder still offers a solid mix of performance and utility.
