Nissan Pathfinder fuel consumption

Asked by Ian Cunningham

I am really interested in the comments from readers regarding the fuel consumption of their cars. My 2008 Nissan Pathfinder 2.5TD, which I have owned from new, has never done better than 16 L/100 km. My dealer tells me this is normal for city driving. To be fair, apart from that, it's a great vehicle.

Nissan's claims for your Pathfinder are 10.2 L/100 km average overall, and 12.4 L/100 km in urban situations. Using the latter figure as a guide your car is consuming around 30 percent more fuel than the company's claim. It must be remembered that the claim is taken from a standard lab test and not real life, and that it's meant to give a comparative figure when comparing one car to another, but to then find you car is guzzling 30 percent more fuel is unacceptable. Take it back to your dealer and demand something be done about it.
