The cabin tech is of premium quality with improved features such as the new customizable four-inch Advanced Drive-Assist color display encased between the tachometer and speedometer (already available in Infiniti SUVs), complemented by a larger eight-inch touch-screen monitor available with navigation and more. Other options include the programmable Nissan Intelligent Keys, Bluetooth, a 13-speaker Bose audio system, dual-zone climate control, RearView and Around View Monitor, remote engine start and a tri-zone entertainment system which utilizes the eight-inch center touch screen and two rear dual seven-inch DVD screens located in the front seat headrests.
New and exciting is the Around View Monitor which offers four directional cameras, located in the front grille, both side mirrors and the rear lift-gate. Delivering a bird’s eye view of the vehicle it’s easy to use, allowing drivers to screen any obstructions around the vehicle while in Drive mode, before canceling out at 10-mph. Plus, the new Pathfinder comes with Nissan’s Easy Fill Tire system, which honks the horn when the ideal tire pressure has been achieved.
LIGHTER AND MORE FUEL EFFICIENT
Gone is the traditional truck-based body-on-frame, replaced with a unibody chassis that has helped cut 500-lbs of weight while increasing structural rigidity. Lighter, it’s now able to make do with a smaller engine, dropping the last gen's 4.0-liter V6 and 5.6-liter V8 engines, while also switching from a basic rear-drive layout to one that is front-drive – with AWD optional.

The same platform as the Infiniti JX crossover, the Pathfinder also shares the same 3.5L V6 engine, matched with Nissan’s Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) to deliver 260-horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. With the dramatic weight loss and introduction of that CVT, fuel numbers have improved 30-percent from last year’s model ranging from 20 mpg city and 26 mpg highway (22-mpg combined) for the 2WD models to 19 mpg city and 25 mpg highway (21 mpg combined) for 4WD versions.
Beginning at $28,270 for the base S 2WD model that includes 18-inch alloy wheels, Drive Assist and a 6-speaker audio system the SV 2WD model starts at $31,530 with features like Intelligent Key, roofrails, Bluetooth and a RearView Monitor. Moving-up up a notch is the SL 4WD trims (expected to be the volume seller) beginning at $36,070 and equipped with added luxuries like remote engine start, leather front/rear heated seats and a handy power liftgate. But those shopping for the fully-loaded deal will venture toward the cooled front seats and 20-inch wheels package of the Platinum 4WD trims starting at $40,770.
Clearly going in the direction of image and comfort, 60-percent of the 2013 trims are fitted with leather and many of the packages are customizable. Additional option packages include the Platinum Premium Package for $2,300 encompassing the tri-zone entertainment system and dual panoramic moonroof. An SL Premium Package comes with the13-speaker Bose audio system, panoramic moonroof and trailer tow package. A tow package on its own (hitch receiver, harness and integrated bumper finisher) is priced at $400.

Available features include a Bose stereo, Bluetooth, a rear-seat entertainment system, navigation, a USB port, satellite radio and two different backup cameras, one of which is multi-angle (around-view monitor).

Reviewers are fairly impressed with the Pathfinder’s available equipment. They say the navigation system’s audio interface, which has a touch screen, doesn’t complicate tasks that should be simple, such as adjusting the stereo. They also like the around-view monitor for the expansive view it provides while backing up or parallel parking. Overall, reviewers agree that the Pathfinder’s available technology systems work well and are straightforward.

The Pathfinder can carry up to 79.8 cubic feet of cargo with the second and third rows of seats folded, which is average for the class, but less than class leaders like the Chevrolet Traverse. Behind the second row, there is as much as 47.8 cubic feet of space, and behind the third row there is 16 cubic feet available. Reviewers are pleased with the Pathfinder’s small-item storage as well.
