Looks like somebody at Nissan clicked the ‘Send’ button a bit too soon, because a few hours ahead of its official debut, the first pictures of Pathfinder concept hit the web.

No worries though, we will bring to you the official stuff as well. For now you can take a good look at this new generation Pathfinder. Nissan says it’s a concept, but they’re not fooling anyone, this is the actual production car you will be able to buy from Fall 2012.

Besides the new styling, the Pathfinder also features another major change and that is the uni-body chassis structure. The previous model had the old school separate chassis which is better for off-roading, but the new uni-body will make the whole car lighter and more fuel efficient.

The Pathfinder is, as ever, a hugely practical car with 7 seats and lots of amenities and space for your gear. It is powered by Nissan’s favorite setup of a V6 and a CVT.

Stay tuned for more on the new Nissan Pathfinder from Detroit Motor Show.
