Nissan Pathfinder dimensions

The 2012 Nissan Pathfinder's size and weight make it better suited to serious utility than daily passenger transport. This is a real sport-utility, so those seeking a passenger car will be better served by any number of big crossover Suvs. Nissan Pathfinder SUV offers the following pros: Comprehensive V6 and V8 engines; strong towing ability. Nissan Pathfinder SUV drawbacks are: Poor fuel efficiency; cramped second- and third-row seats; less trunk room than big crossovers; drives like a truck.

The 2012 Nissan Pathfinder is a midsize seven-passenger SUV provided in five versions: S, SV, Silver, LE V6 and LE V8.

Traditional equipment on the entry-level S model contains 16-inch alloy wheels, back privacy glass, roof rack rails, air-conditioning, an eight-way manually adjustable driver bench, cruise control, full performance accessories, a tilt helm and a six-speaker audio with a CD player.

The SV adds 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, foglights, running boards, dual-zone automatic conditioning, back air-conditioning, updated cloth upholstery, an eight-way performance driver bench, power-adjustable pedals, a leather-wrapped helm, a 7-inch color multi-information screen, a rearview camera, a six-disc CD changer and an optional stereo slot.

Step up to the Silver trim level and you get heated mirrors, body-color/chrome side moldings, keyless ignition/entry, leather upholstery, a four-way performance passenger bench, heated front seatings and Bluetooth.

The LE V6 model comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, roof rack crossbars, driver bench memory functions, a heated helm, wood-grain trim and a navigator with digital audio cargo. The top-of-the-line LE V8 loses the traditional sunroof but gains the 5. 6-liter V8 motor and four-wheel drive.

The features list is short and contains a sunroof and the rear-seat video entertainment system. .
