An all-new Pathfinder debuts with independent rear suspension, and styling that echoes the larger Armada. The Pathfinder fills the mid-sized SUV slot in Nissan's lineup. It is longer, wider, and taller than the model it replaces. It now offers 3-row seating for seven passengers. The Pathfinder is powered by a 4.0L stroked version of Nissan's 3.5L V-6. Both 4x2 and 4x4 versions are offered, including a full-time All-Mode® 4WD system. The Pathfinder SE is available with an off-road package that includes skid plates, Rancho® shocks, Hill Descent Control, and Hill Start Assist.
