Overall
The 1999 Pathfinder LE was positioned as the more upscale, comfort-oriented version of Nissan’s midsize SUV for that year. Factory equipment emphasized leather seating and power amenities, with drivetrain flexibility (2WD or part-time 4WD) for customers who required occasional off-road capability or towing. The combination of the 3.3L V6 and automatic transmission provided the typical balance of everyday drivability and utility expected in this class and era.
