MANAMA: The 2019 Nissan Pathfinder Midnight Edition will be launched in Bahrain and select GCC countries later this month.
The latest iteration of the model, which stands out due to its aggressive black styling, was unveiled at the Bulgari Yacht Club in Dubai recently in a colourful ceremony attended by almost 200 people including journalists and social media influencers from several GCC countries.
Reflecting the darkness of the night, all accessories and details of this new family SUV from the Japanese car manufacturer are highlighted in black.
This includes the V-Motion front grille, rear spoiler, roof rails, mirrors caps, 20-inch alloys and various other areas of the exterior.
“At Nissan, we are committed to offering our customers new and upgraded variations of their favourite cars,” said Nissan Middle East managing director Jurgen Schmitz.
“The evolution of the Nissan Pathfinder has resulted in the creation of an iconic range of family-friendly yet technologically innovative SUVs that effortlessly combine style with performance.
“Four-wheel drive, off-road proficiency and an athletic appearance are the mainstays of the Pathfinder name and remain key requirements for the adventure-inspired customer in this segment today.”
Despite being called the Midnight Edition, the SUV is available in three colours – Pearl White, Gun Metallic and Magnetic Black.
The company said the non-black colours were based on customer feedback and preferences, adding that Pearl White was one of the most popular hues for the Pathfinder.
Targeted towards large families who like to go on adventures, the seven-seater four-wheel drive SUV combines a sporty and attractive design with enhanced security features.
One of the features likely to make this model a favourite with families is the EZ flex seating system that allows easy access to the third row with a child safety seat remaining securely in place in the second row.
Between 150 and 250 units of the Midnight Edition will be available in the GCC, excluding Saudi Arabia which is a separate market for Nissan.
The starting price is $44,080 though the price in Bahrain will be announced when the SUV is launched.
