Nissan’s 2013 Pathfinder Gets a New Image, More Room and More Features

Nissan recently revealed the details of the 2013 Pathfinder, which has gotten a complete overhaul from the previous model. Not only did the Japanese automaker redesign the exterior to give it a sleeker appeal, the manufacturer also focused on providing better fuel economy and more room. The new SUV comfortably seats seven and has a 30 percent better fuel efficiency. The 2013 model gets 26 miles per gallon on the highway and 20 mpg in the city, due in part to the new car being 500 pounds lighter than last year's model.

The Pathfinder is also stocked with amenities and features that will likely appeal to many drivers. The front seats have heating and cooling systems built in, and drivers can opt for remote engine start, Nissan Navigation System and Nissan Intelligent Key. There's also an Advanced Drive-Assist Display in the dash that provides the driver with important information pertaining to the vehicle.

"Unveiling our next-generation Pathfinder is a major follow-up to the introduction of the all-new Altima sedan," said Al Castignetti, vice president and general manager for Nissan Division, Nissan North America, Inc. "With its bold new design, best-in-class fuel economy and family adventure capabilities, our dealers can't wait to share this new model with customers in their showrooms."

Not every driver is looking to get behind the wheel of a new vehicle, but those who enjoy the Pathfinder can head to NJ Auto Auction to check out used models of this Japanese SUV. While older models may not feature all of the same new amenities, they still offer plenty of space. Plus, every car at NJ Auto is CARFAX certified, so drivers know they'll be getting a reliable ride.
