The Pathfinder’s new 3.5 L DOHC V6 engine adds Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG), revised intake system, Continuously Variable Valve Timing Control System, and Mirror Bore Coating.
Horsepower has been increased to 284 from the previous 260. Likewise, torque is increased to 259 pound-feet from its previous 240.
Maximum towing capacity is now a class-leading 6,000 pounds (when properly equipped), an increase of a whole 1,000 pounds.
Nissan has equipped the new Pathfinder with a third-generation Xtronic CVT. The transmission includes D-Step Shift Logic, which simulates conventional gear changes to provide a more natural feel when accelerating.
The exterior provides a rugged character look with the "V-Motion" design language.
