The 2013 Pathfinder's 0.34 coefficient of drag is a 13 percent improvement over that of the outgoing model.Īlong with reduced weight, Pathfinder's new unibody platform provided the designers an opportunity to create the more aerodynamic exterior without compromising headroom or cargo capacity. This helps contribute to the enhanced fuel economy performance, as does the use of front and rear spoilers, rear tire deflectors and rear suspension fairings to help achieve one of the best aerodynamic performances in the segment. In one other important measurement the new generation Pathfinder weighs as much as 500 pounds less than the previous body-on-frame design. "And the combination of best-in-class fuel economy and standard towing capacity, comfortable seven-passenger seating and best-in-class passenger volume makes this one vehicle worthy of the Pathfinder name."

"When it comes to supporting family adventures, the Pathfinder's rugged heritage comes through – allowing the driver to select the 4WD mode when desired, as well as offering an Auto mode or 2WD," said Wheeler. With best-in-class standard 5,000-pound towing capacity, the new Pathfinder also retains its ability to tow boats, snowmobiles, trailers and a variety of other recreational gear. In addition, standard Hill Start Assist helps add control when starting and driving away on a steep incline (both 4WD and 2WD models). The system lets the driver choose full-time 2WD for maximum fuel economy, Auto mode to automatically monitor conditions and adjust the balance of power between front and rear wheels for best traction, or 4WD Lock mode when the confidence of full-time 4WD is desired. Pathfinder is the only vehicle in class with selectable 2WD, Auto or 4WD modes for its available intuitive ALL-MODE 4x4-i system. With the available intuitive four-wheel drive, Pathfinder continues to serve as an excellent vehicle for inclement weather driving conditions. The CVT holds the engine at the ideal rpm for the conditions at hand, offering responsive power for passing or towing when needed, and quiet efficient running at cruising speeds or around town. The new engine and CVT combination maintains nearly the same horsepower as the previous generation's larger displacement 4.0-litre V6 – 260 horsepower versus the previous 266 – and delivers responsive acceleration in a variety of conditions. Fuel economy is rated at 7.7L/100km Highway 10.5L/100km City and 9.3L/100km Combined for the 2WD model and 7.9L/100km Highway 10.8/L/100km City and 9.5L/100 km Combined for the 4WD model. We focused our efforts on leadership in the areas that family SUV owners want most, such as Around View™ Monitor and Easy-Fill Tire Alert," said Judy Wheeler, Director of Marketing at Nissan Canada Inc.Ĭlass-Leading Capability and Fuel EconomyĪddressing buyers' desire for more efficiency in every aspect of their lives, the all-new 2013 Pathfinder utilizes a refined new drivetrain featuring a 3.5-litre DOHC V6 engine mated to a next-generation Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission) to help provide a 26 per cent**** increase in combined City/Highway fuel economy (over the previous V6-equipped model). "Our goal, which we've achieved, was to be the best not just on paper but in the real world. The new Pathfinder also addresses the "innovation that excites" needs of today's drivers, with levels of responsive acceleration, braking, handling and ride comfort expected of a Nissan product.
Best-in-class front headroom and front legroom**.Best-in-class interior passenger volume**.True to Nissan's philosophy of staying ahead of the competition, the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder offers a long list of both best-in-class and unique-to-class specifications and features, including: Now, with the introduction of the all-new 4th generation, not only does Pathfinder provide capability with comfortable seating for seven, intuitive 4WD and 5000-pound standard towing capacity, but it resets the standard for the segment with an unprecedented level of premium style, comfort, fuel economy and thoughtful technology.
Known as the perfect family adventure vehicle, each successive Pathfinder design has remained true to that original premise while evolving to meet the changing needs of its owners. The original Nissan Pathfinder, introduced more than a quarter century ago, set the bar high for the generations that followed.
