The SV trim here is the most value for money option here. It features a 7-inch touchscreen system, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and many more for the price of $33,140. The base trim is light on features and misses out on few major necessities. So, we recommend you to go with the SV trim. 

The 2015 Nissan Pathfinder is powered by a 3.5 Liter V6 engine. The engine delivers 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. The CVT transmission knows its job and is responsible for the shifting needs of the car.

Though it is a V6 engine, it offers a front-wheel-drive layout. The suspension system in the Pathfinder is so tuned as to absorb the heaviest of bumps and jerks with ease. 

All the cars in this segment offer a V6 engine, so each one will be nearly identical in power to the other. However, it is theBuick Enclave that outsmarts the others because of its highest horsepower rating of 288 hp, which is the highest in the segment. The Nissan Pathfinder holds the first position for the highest top speed of 140mph.

This reading holds true for the front-wheel-drive, while you can expect a marginal decrease in figures in the All-Wheel Drive layout. Though the Nissan Pathfinder comes equipped with a V6 powertrain, it offers superior mileage figures.
