About 2013 Nissan Pathfinder


3.7

Overall Rating

With a complete revision of its exterior design, Nissan has found the path to the traditional buyers’ hearts in the segment with the Pathfinder.

With a complete revision of its exterior design, Nissan has found the path to the traditional buyers’ hearts in the segment with the Pathfinder. Moving away from the boxy design that is prevalent in the class, the Pathfinder now looks groundbreaking and eye-catchy. It continues to vaunt a capacious cabin that scores highly on luxury and practicality.

To derive the maximum price to performance ratio, we recommend buying the Platinum trim of the Nissan Pathfinder. While it does feature a similar foundational setup, the Platinum trim comes equipped with hi-tech and advanced features like a heated steering wheel, premium sound system, and a navigation system in addition to the basic features available with the base and mid-level trims.

Pricing and Features
9.0/10


The Nissan Pathfinder is available in four different trims, each of which features a common engine and transmission setup with two drivetrain options. It falls in a price range that extends from $28,650 for its base variant to $41,150 for the top-of-the-line trim. As standard, the Pathfinder comes equipped with features like power steering, power windows, and powered door locks.

Engine and Performance
7.0/10


The Nissan Pathfinder makes use of a standard engine which is a 3.5L V6 unit which is good for 260hp of engine power and 240lb.-ft of torque. It comes mated to a continuously variable transmission and is channeled as a four-wheel-drive variant.

It can boost from a still to the 60MPH mark in 7.6 seconds and can cover a quarter-mile sprint in 15.8 seconds, all while recording a top speed of 15.8 121MPH. The Nissan Pathfinder is both the fastest and quickest SUV in the segment and performs exceedingly well considering its size and structure.

In comparison, the Honda Pilot and Mazda CX-9 also feature V6 engine units. In the transmission setup, each car is distinct, with the Pilot using a 5-speed automatic transmission, while the CX-9 is attached to a 6-speed automatic unit. In the acceleration test and quarter-mile run, while the Pilot is the slowest clocking 8.7 and 16.5 seconds respectively, the CX-9 records similar timings.

Fuel Economy
6.0/10


The Nissan Pathfinder’s performance does not come at the cost of its efficiency. In its segment, the Nissan Pathfinder is the most efficient SUV, both individually and combined. It averages 19 MPG in the city and 25 MPG on the highway. Combined, its efficiency of 21 miles per gallon of fuel is the highest in the segment. However, it does feature the smallest fuel tank in the segment of 19.5 gallons and can cover a total range of 370.5 and 487.5 miles in the city and on the highway respectively.

In comparison, the Honda Pilot and Mazda CX-9 remain a notch or two below the Pathfinder in combined efficiency, averaging 20 and 19 miles per gallon of fuel. Honda’s fuel tank of 21 gallons is the largest in the segment, followed by the Mazda CX-9 having a total fuel capacity of 20.1-gallons. In terms of range, each car is competitive managing eerily similar distance in a single fuel-stop.

Interior
7.7/10


The Nissan Pathfinder’s cabin’s capaciousness is not its only takeaway; the upmarket aura and plushness that surrounds the cabin make an alluring case in the SUV’s favor. The use of wooden accents through the dashboard and on the central console adds to the visual appeal. The access to all necessary features is in the vicinity of both the driver and the passenger allowing for practicality and innate usability.

The seats on offer with the Nissan Pathfinder grant ample space, even for the third-row occupants. It has a total seating capacity of seven passengers. The seats are appropriately placed and allow for aplomb viewing angles and visibility. The ride quality like every other aspect is class-leading and is supple and nimble in its approach. However, its handling capabilities do feel underwhelming and are a letdown. In terms of cargo capacity, the Pathfinder’s maximum trunk volume of 79.8 cubic feet is adequate to carry around a bicycle for your adventure trips, yet is the smallest in the segment.

The Nissan Pathfinder’s long due overhaul reaps benefits as the brand would have expected it to. A newer and modern design gives the SUV a noticeable presence in the market and a contemporary and subtle aura allows Pathfinder to confidently compete against the boxy products in the segment. It is long, tall, and beefy in its stance, something you expect out of a traditional SUV. The front grille and headlights get separated by chrome blocks that add to the designing prowess. The use of roof rails and side stepper reassures the buyer of the type and size of the car.

The Nissan Pathfinder is almost the heaviest SUV on the block and has a total curb weight of 4607 lbs. It is 197.2 inches and sports the longest wheelbase in the segment of 114.2 inches. It is 77.2 inches and 70.2 inches. Additionally, its ground clearance of 6.5 inches, is the lowest in the segment, yet the Pathfinder continues to perform seemingly well on rough terrains and uneven patches.

Final Verdict

With a nimble ride quality and all-terrain durability, the Nissan Pathfinder seems flawless and is only blotched by its detached handling capability and restricted cargo space. However, an advanced and hi-tech infotainment and safety system adequately make up for its flaws. If you are looking for a family hauler while maintaining a dash of thrill and excitement in your ride, the Nissan Pathfinder is a viable option.
