Revamping the Nissan Lineup: Saying Goodbye to the Pathfinder and Juke, Hello to the Future

After four decades on sale in Australia, the decision has been made to axe the Nissan Pathfinder from the local lineup.

Outgoing managing director of the Oceania region for Nissan, Andrew Humberstone, has told CarExpert the family SUV will soon disappear from the brand’s portfolio, along with its city SUV, the Nissan Juke.

Mr Humberstone has only a few days left in the top job, before being replaced by Steve Milette – but says there’s been a lot of work behind the scenes to secure the brand’s future in Australia.

“The biggest piece of work was around [Nissan’s] product portfolio, which you’ll only see the full execution starting with Navara, then Patrol, and then new products that are coming in the future,” he explained.

“Juke and Pathfinder are sadly going to leave us.”

The news comes after dwindling sales for the two vehicles, with fewer than 740 examples of each delivered locally in the 2025 calendar year.

The Pathfinder first went on sale in Australia in 1986 (known overseas as the Terrano), and was originally an off-road SUV version of the Navara ute, before evolving into a more family-friendly unibody SUV.

Last month, a report out of the US claimed Nissan is developing a new off-road version of the Pathfinder, this time using a body-on-frame construction – much like the original ute-based SUV.
