FRANKLIN, Tennessee — Two new teaser videos of the redesigned 2013 Nissan Pathfinder provide brief glimpses of the truck’s front- and rear-end styling.

Nissan earlier released a teaser photo of the truck’s side profile. A concept version of the new Pathfinder will be revealed next week at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show and the production model should begin reaching U.S. dealers this fall.

Nissan says the new model “takes all of Pathfinder’s traditional SUV hallmarks and wraps them in a new platform and dramatic new aerodynamic body.”

The 2013 Pathfinder will seat up to seven, with “ample cargo room,” according to Nissan.

The current Pathfinder went on sale in model year 2005. By the time the fourth-generation model arrives next fall at U.S. dealers, the current design will have been in production for eight years.

Inside Line says: Looks like the new Pathfinder won’t stray far from Nissan’s current design language.
