In the process of returning to crossover status, the Pathfinder lost 500 pounds, helping improve both performance and efficiency. Front-wheel-drive trims earn an EPA rating of 22 mpg combined (20 city/26 highway), and AWD trims follow closely, at 21/19/25.
For 2014, doubles down on the efficiency initiative, adding a new hybrid trim ($37,760) to the mix. The A 15 kW electric motor supplements a supercharged 2.5-liter gasoline engine to produce a combined 250 hp and 243 lb-ft of torque, which is channeled through the same CVT.
