Nissan is shaking up its SUV lineup with the revival of its body-on-frame off-roader, the Xterra. But that's not all - the company is also planning to introduce a new body-on-frame Pathfinder in 2029, alongside an updated version of the unibody Pathfinder. This move is aimed at broadening the Pathfinder's appeal in the competitive family-oriented segment. The new body-on-frame model will offer the towing and off-road capability that some customers crave, while the unibody version will continue to be a more practical choice for those who prioritize space and comfort. However, this strategy may lead to confusion among customers, who may mistake the unibody version for the body-on-frame model. Nissan's decision to offer both models under the same name raises questions about the future of its SUV lineup and the company's commitment to its core values.
