Sophistication.
Powers. Versatility. Durability.
The pathfinder defies everything you may have heard about SUV performance. Indeed, over the years, its smooth carlikeride has been acclaimed as "amazing" and "fantastic". This sophistication optimizes suspension and control, minimizes squeaks and rattles, and work to reduce stress throughout the body.
And that's just one of the many reasons to select the Pathfinder -- that is, if you demand premium performance from your SUV. Here are a few more:
Power: The 3.3-liter V6 delivers 90% of its 200 ft-lbs of torque between 1,500 and 1,800 rpm, letting you charge up hillsides and onramps, and tow up to 5,000 lbs (3,500 lbs with manual transmission). In addition, Nissan's Sophisticated Optimized Fuel Injection System (SOFIS) monitors conditions such as speed, temperature and even elevation for peak performance.
Versatility: In our 4X4 Pathfinder, 4L helps you climb steep trails or trudge through mud or snow, and 4H offers additional traction on certain slick surfaces. And with our advanced shift-on-the-fly system, you can engage 4-wheel drive at speeds up to 50 mph, or even if you're stuck in the mud (in many other SUVs, you need to be moving forward).
Durability: The Pathfinder reflects our unflagging standard of excellence, bumper to bumper. Patented DURASTEEL® body panels feature a zinc-nickel alloy plating for greater corrosion resistance. The MonoFrame construction provides more resistance to frame bending. And while some manufacturers weld body panels -- and others bond them -- we do both for a solid fit.
