One week out from their Geneva Motor Show debut, Nissan has revealed the full details of the updated Nissan Pathfinder and Nissan Navara ranges.

Headlining the mid-life upgrade is an all-new direct injection V6 turbodiesel.

Developed by the Renault Nissan Alliance, the unique power plant sits at the unusual vee angle of 65 degrees and its block is made of Carbon Graphite Iron, which Nissan says offers all the stiffness and noise absorption benefits of cast iron without the weight penalty.

Power output peaks at 170kW and torque is a class-leading 550Nm between 1700 and 2500rpm.
