2014 Nissan Pathfinder

Nissan's iconic Pathfinder SUV takes a major step forward in the 2014 model year with the introduction of the first-ever Pathfinder Hybrid.

Also added for the 2014 model year is a new SL Tech Package featuring Bose 13-speaker Premium Audio System, Nissan Navigation System, voice recognition and 8-inch color touch-screen monitor.

The Pathfinder Hybrid, powered by a supercharged 2.5-liter gasoline engine and an electric motor paired to a compact Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery, offers the very same passenger seating capacity, 2nd or 3rd row legroom and cargo space of non-hybrid models. The system is rated at 250 net horsepower and 243 lb-ft of torque -- versus the 3.5-liter V6 ratings of 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque of the regular models.

The 2014 Pathfinder satisfies the "innovation that excites" needs of today's drivers, with levels of responsive acceleration, braking, handling and ride comfort.

With the available intuitive four-wheel drive, Pathfinder continues to serve as an excellent vehicle for inclement weather driving conditions. Pathfinder is the only vehicle in class with selectable 2WD, Auto or 4WD Lock modes for its available intuitive ALL-MODE 4x4-i system.

The system lets the driver choose full-time 2WD for maximum fuel economy, Auto Mode to automatically monitor conditions and adjust the balance of power between front and rear wheels for best traction, or 4WD Lock mode when the confidence of full-time 4WD is desired.

With best-in-class standard 5,000-pound towing capacity, Pathfinder also retains its ability to tow boats, jet skis, trailers and a variety of other recreational gear.
