What To Expect With The 2013 Nissan Pathfinder

Lisa Jane Foreman
21 January 2013


When the release of the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder was announced last year, every SUV enthusiast and SUV-loving family guy was waiting. Nissan calls it their "Most Innovative Pathfinder Ever," and this presents a rise of curiosity for people, equally among those who owned earlier versions of Pathfinders and those who have not driven or ridden in one even once before. So, what, exactly makes it so special that everyone in the SUV world is getting excited? Here are a few features that might serve as reasons why so many long to acquire this vehicle.

The first thing that enthusiast look for in an SUV is power; it defines its whole being as a sport utility vehicle. With the new Pathfinder's 260-horsepower, 3.5-liter V6 engine, you get all the power you need and all with the luxury of a good-sized, sedan. Additionally, paired with its Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), it has extremely powerful towing capabilities.

The word "luxury" was stated before and this could not be achieved without comfort. This is why the vehicle includes the new EZ Flex seating system. This system allows easy seating for everyone in the vehicle. This is done through the vehicle's sliding second row that uses latch and glide technology, which makes it easier to get to the seats at the rear. Due to the fact that the second row seats have the sliding capability, you'll be able to control leg space, resulting in a more relaxing trip to any destination, no matter how long the drive may be. Also, if you're driving alone or accompanied by only one passenger, the entire back part of the vehicle can accommodate cargoes as large as a bicycle or a canoe.

For families with small children, taking a trip is quite a hassle considering how kids lack enough patience in waiting to arrive at your destinations. The whining and crying will make you exhausted even before you start your vacation and that is no way to spend your holiday. This is why people opt for vehicles with entertainment systems, but your kids might not want the same thing; your daughter might want to watch her favourite Barbie movies while your son wants some Ben Ten action or even play a video game. This is where the Pathfinder's tri-zone entertainment system comes into play; when everyone gets what they want, then everybody's happy, and you will have more time planning the enjoyment ahead.

When talking about innovation, advance technology comes to mind, which is definitely present in the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. For convenience, the vehicle's GPS can do more than just inform you of the best route to take; it can also inform you about weather updates, traffic jams and even the location of your favourite restaurant in the vicinity. For safety, it has four cameras outside for an all-around monitor; this is pretty handy when parking or when going through pretty tight spots.

These are just a few features that this vehicle has. There's surely more to find out and to be impressed with.
