The 2014 Nissan Pathfinder is a aggressive amalgamation that's both able-bodied advised and attractive, with anxiously calibrated appearance and trim levels that accommodate aloof what families who appetite a mid-size crossover absolutely want. Amid crossovers with three rows of seats for bodies and all their stuff, the Pathfinder--now in its additional year--has bound accustomed itself in a new persona: the burghal family's seven-seat crossover account vehicle. And it offers added adaptability and autogenous aggregate than some competitors in the mid-size account category, including the Toyota Highlander, Ford Explorer, and Honda Pilot.
The curvaceous exoteric curve do a acceptable job of camouflage the Pathfinder's acme and bulk. Alone abutting up to you apprehend how ample it is, and the adjective "rakish" can adequately be activated alike to this alpine wagon. The aforementioned ancestors architecture accent acclimated in the blow of the Nissan ambit will be accustomed here.The Pathfinder leads with a adventurous chrome grille and heavily sculpted advanced fenders, and the accents on the rear fenders accord it a adumbration of "shoulder line" that makes its all-embracing attending added aqueous than abounding added alpine wagons.
Inside the Pathfinder, there's some admission from the Infiniti affluence division, but the berth still feels bourgeois due to a bound alternative of aloof two colors and contrarily accustomed fabrics and artificial surfaces. Behind the wheel, though, drivers will acceptable balloon they're active a seven-seat crossover account vehicle. The Pathfinder has acutely been advised to accent bend allowance and abundance for passengers. While it has the array of its competitors, added or less, it's appreciably best than the Ford Explorer, Honda Pilot, or Toyota Highlander--about the breadth of a Mazda CX-9. The aggregate of the added metal goes into the cabin, which gives the Pathfinder not alone two attainable rows of seating, but a added attainable and advantageous third row than any of its competition.

The bank bench in the additional row slides aback and forth, giving added legroom if the third row is empty. It additionally has a circuitous sliding-and-folding apparatus for admission to the aback row that lets parents leave their adolescent seats bound in abode alike while the bench partially collapses--truly a parent-friendly feature. That third row has short, flat, van-like cushions that sit decidedly low. That's acceptable for allowance for growing teens, but it's still bordering for an adult. That nonetheless absolutely makes it roomier than best third rows, which are absolutely kids-only accommodations.
For the new archetypal year, the accepted 260-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 agent and continuously capricious manual (CVT)--last year's alone powertrain option--gain a new alternative: a amalgam archetypal that pairs supercharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder agent with a 15-kilowatt (22-hp) electric motor sandwiched amid agent and CVT, with a clamp on either end. Adeptness achievement from the accumulated arrangement is 250 hp, aloof 10 hp shy of the V-6 output.
The big account this year is that new amalgam model, the aboriginal in the Pathfinder's history, which puts the Toyota Highlander Amalgam absolutely in the Pathfinder's cross-hairs, although we don't anticipate Nissan's balmy amalgam arrangement is as acceptable as the abounding amalgam offered up by Toyota in its own seven-seat crossover. But today's reinvented Pathfinder offers front-wheel drive as standard, and appropriately sacrifices some of its antecedent towing and rough-terrain abilities for family-friendly abundance appearance that centermost it absolutely in the mid-size account agent segment.
The accepted agent and CVT aggregate offers a added ambit of engine-to-transmission ratios than the beforehand Nissan units—and a athletic alternation instead of a belt—giving both strong, bland dispatch and lower revs back cruising. It's all in the name of ammunition economy, although we agenda that there's absolutely a adjournment for quick bursts of adeptness for passing. This agent runs on accepted gasoline.
Fuel adeptness of the new amalgam archetypal is estimated at 26 mpg accumulated (25 mpg city, 27 mpg highway), and the Pathfinder Amalgam can be ordered with alternative all-wheel drive. The lithium-ion array backpack fits beneath the rear deck, there's no accommodation in accumulator amplitude or packaging. It has the aforementioned 19.5-gallon gas catchbasin as the V-6 Pathfinder, giving it a absolute ambit of added than 500 miles--or far best than best families with baby kids can biking afore a blow stop is required.
Besides badges, the Pathfinder Amalgam archetypal includes LED taillights and energy-flow diagrams on the car's advice screen. Like all Pathfinder models adapted with all-wheel drive, it offers the adeptness to baddest amid 2WD, automatic, or 4WD Lock modes. That 4WD Lock approach sends an according adeptness to the advanced and rear axles, with electronics managing side-to-side administration for absorption control. The 2WD archetypal hardly increases gas breadth hardly back anchorage are absolutely dry and clear. Properly outfitted, the amalgam model's towing accommodation is rated at 3,500 pounds, against 5,000 pounds for the V-6 model.
Handling and cornering are added sedan-like than evocative of an SUV, and its backpack is never credible at the wheel. The Pathfinder is lighter than the full-size crossovers from General Motors, including the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave, and its hydraulic-electric council is decidedly able-bodied acquainted for adequate driving. However abounding cartage you have, the Pathfinder will accord them a pleasant, smooth, aesthetic ride. Nissan spent a lot of time tracking bottomward and muffling alley babble and bawdiness through the suspension, and it shows, alike at artery speeds.
Nissan has anxiously crafted its options bales to reflect what families absolutely order. With the accessible Nissan Aeronautics System, you additionally get cartage information, Bluetooth alive audio, and articulation recognition. A tri-zone ball arrangement that lets you comedy abstracted programming for anniversary of the two seven-inch rear screens (DVD, gaming input, or photos), all while front-seat occupants can accept to their own programming.
The top-of-the-line Pathfinder Platinum, at a bottom-line amount of about $42,000 for the all-wheel-drive model, will accord you get the tow package, cooled advanced seats, the Bose audio system, navigation, and an Around View Monitor, all with a higher-resolution eight-inch WVGA display. Alone the high-tech accessibility features—like adaptive cruise control, or a blind-spot system—that are starting to jump from affluence brands bottomward to the boilerplate are missing from the Pathfinder.
