2012 Nissan Pathfinder Possess a Solid Array of True SUV

The new 2012 Nissan Pathfinder is an SUV which comes standard with three rows of seats for seven-passenger capacity. The new 2012 Nissan Pathfinder is the smaller sibling to Nissan’s full-size Armada. The 2012 Nissan Pathfinder lineup receives a couple of tweaks including the addition of the navigation system as standard equipment on the top of the line LE trim level. The 2012 Nissan Pathfinder can still hold its own after the pavement ends, thanks to a robust platform based on the full-size Nissan Titan pickup truck.

With a choice of V6 or V8 power and rear- or four-wheel drive, the new 2012 Nissan Pathfinder can also tow up to 7,000 pounds, a number that bests most car-based crossovers. The 2012 Nissan Pathfinder features short overhangs and pronounced fender flares. The rear door handles are placed vertically on the C-pillars, and the 2012 Nissan Pathfinder has an integrated front bumper. The 2012 Nissan Pathfinder grille design is similar to the Armada’s.

Inside the 2012 Nissan Pathfinder cabin, the front seats are comfortable enough, but second-row passengers will find foot and shoulder room in short supply, however, if its seven seats caught your eye, keep in mind that its third row is harder to get to than most midsize SUVs with a third row, and once you get there, it’s kid-sized.

When it comes time to transport cargo, the 2012 Nissan Pathfinder interior’s 40/20/40-split second-row and 50/50-split third-row seats fold down to create a flat load floor and 79 cubic feet of cargo room which is less than most large crossovers.  The 2012 Nissan Pathfinder specs comes in four trims: S, SV, Silver Edition and LE. For the Nissan Pathfinder 2012 redesign, the car adds a power moon roof and a DVD entertainment system to the Silver Edition trims and standard navigation to 2012 Nissan Pathfinder LE models with a V8 engine.

The 2012 Nissan Pathfinder is offered with a choice of two engines; the 4.0-liter V6 makes 266 horsepower and 288 pound-feet of torque, while the 2012 Nissan Pathfinder LE V8 model gets a 5.6-liter V8 that produces 310 hp and 380 lb-ft of torque while a five-speed automatic is the only transmission offered.

A V6-powered four-wheel-drive 2012 Nissan Pathfinder could sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 7.4 seconds. The EPA estimates the Nissan Pathfinder mpg at 15 mpg city/22 mpg highway and 17 mpg combined with rear-wheel drive and 14/20/16 with 4WD. Meanwhile, the 2012 Nissan Pathfinder LE V8 model made a quick 7.0-second sprint from 0 to 60 mph.
