Nissan has given the European market version of the Pathfinder SUV and its pickup truck sibling, the Navara (sold as the Frontier in the States), a mid-life facelift to keep them up to date with the competition.

The Japanese automaker made a number of enhancements to both models including the introduction of brand-new 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine, some minor revisions to the 2.5-liter diesel, a refreshed exterior and improved interior with more standard equipment.

For the first time, the Pathfinder and Navara will be available with the Renault Nissan Alliance's new direct injection 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel which will also be offered in the European market Infiniti EX30d, FX30d and M30d models.

Nissan is adding more practicality to its Navara line-up in the UK with the introduction of hard top version that looks like a hunchback but for apparent reasons it’s called the X-Back. The new hard top is made from the composite material SMC, which is similar to glass reinforced plastic but with a uniform layered construction making it particularly tough and light for easy installation. The Navara Aventura X-Back is powered by a 171PS 2.5-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel engine and according to Nissan, it achieves 28.8 mpg (23.4 US MPG on the combined cycle). -Continued
