It is with great pleasure that Lake Nissan announce that the Nissan Pathfinder has been awarded Overlander Magazine’s prestigious “4WD of the Year” award for 2010.

Competing in a tough field that included Mitsubishi Challenger, Toyota Hilux, Nissan Navara and Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Pathfinder emerged in 1st place, scoring 194 points from the judging panel. This is the first win for Nissan in the Overlander awards for more than 20 years, and a true testament of the potential of the new Pathfinder.

The vehicle tested was a Pathfinder ST-L diesel automatic, with its upgraded 2.5 litre engine boasting increased power and torque, as well as significant upgrades to specification including six airbags, leather seat trim, and many more creature comforts. The judges were very impressed with the new upgrades, new engine and Pathfinder’s off-road ability, which they tested in very trying and muddy conditions that took them from Sydney to the Victorian High Country.
