ON THE COVER

The 2013 Pathfinder

The all-new fourth-generation design comes with an unprecedented level of premium style, comfort and thoughtful technology. The new unibody construction is based on a D platform and has increased Pathfinder's structural rigidity over the previous model. Through a new aerodynamic vehicle design and a 500-pound overall weight reduction from the outgoing model's, the 2013 Pathfinder achieves a significant increase in fuel economy.

The new Pathfinder is equipped with a refined 3.5L V6 engine that's rated at 260 hp @ 6,400 rpm and 240 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4,400 rpm. It's mated to a next-generation Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) for both 2WD and 4WD models. The 2013 Pathfinder is capable of a 5,000-pound standard towing capacity (when properly equipped).

Features include an electronic hydraulic power-assisted speed-sensitive steering system, an available ALL-MODE 4x4-i system, and the classexclusive Easy Fill Tire Alert system.

The new Pathfinder has a roomy interior featuring three rows of seats which provide accommodations for seven passengers. It also has an innovative child seat function called Latch and Glide™. The 2013 Nissan Pathfinder comes with a new Advanced Drive-Assist™ Display, an available Bose® 12-speaker Premium Audio system, and an available Around View™ Monitor system.
