2010 Midsize SUV : Nissan Pathfinder

The Nissan Pathfinder is a body-on-frame sport utility vehicle (SUV). It’s the smaller sibling to Nissan’s full-size Armada. This 7-passenger midsize SUV comes in S FE+, S, SE, and luxury-oriented LE trims. The SE off-road has been discontinued. The S FE+ is back-wheel drive and has power-train tugs designed to boost the fuel cost-cutting.

The S and LE V8 are 4WD only. Internal room in Nissan’s Pathfinder is below equivalence with both second and third row seating being overcrowded - the back most seats are absolutely for kids only. Nissan’s midsize SUV gets a host of package revamps. The LE V-6 adds a standard moon-roof while the LE V-8 gains navigator as well as a Value Package with a DVD player/moon-roof/new rear-seat monitor.

New SE Premium Journey Package nets Bose audio/XM/Bluetooth, stern view screen, exclusive 17-in. alloys, keyless entry, CD stereo, powered seats, dual front and side airbags. Available security features consist of ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags that cover all seating rows, and front-side airbags. If you frequently drive on mountain tracks and bumpy ranch trails then the Nissan Pathfinder would be an able companion. Competitors include the Jeep Commander and Ford Explorer in this class of SUVs.
