The new 2013 Pathfinder is not the typical SUV anymore. The Pathfinder will have a VQ-series 3.5 liter V-6 under its hood. It is being built off the same assembly line in Tennessee right next to the higher end vehicles, almost the same as Infiniti JX35.
The Pathfinder has the same 114.2 inch wheelbase as the Infiniti JX35, and also has the same height as the JX35. So really, it almost shares everything the JX35 has except for the badge. Both cars as you can guess also shares the same VQ35DE V-6 which the Nissan says pushes out 260 horsepower on 87 Gas, while the Infiniti says it pushes 265 if running on 91. So just because your car has a Infiniti badge doesn't mean you can't afford that extra 20c a gallon.
But a good thing about Nissan is that you do get a choice of front wheel drive or all four wheels. So when you are feeling crazy and just want to get away from that JX35 tailgating you, just hit that 4x4 and lose him in the trails.
You will have four different Pathfinders to chose from, the bottom of the line S, the a little better SV, the very comfortable SL, and the top of the line Platinum. Platinum is what you would want to aim for because it has all the bells and whistles you can wish for. Some but not all includes an Around view monitor system to view a 360 degree of the outside, eight cup holders, and some nice 20’ in rims with all season tires.
The Pathfinder gets a nice 20 mpg in the city and 26 on the highway. It is able to tow a maximum of 5000 pounds. The Pathfinder has come a long way since its first debut in 1986, which was just a pickup with a hard shell. Now it is filled with leather and cameras all around the car. The Base price starts at $29,095 0-60 in 7.7 seconds with a top speed of 120.
