Will efficiency ever come to the crossover market? This question haunts you as you watch the fuel gauge drop ever-lower. Soon your all-terrain behemoth will require more sustenance; and you’ll waste your hard-earned dollars trying to keep it satisfied.
Nissan suggests seeking a more economical option - such as the 2018 Pathfinder.
As Kelley Blue Book explains, the new Pathfinder proves perfect for drivers craving economy. Boasting a 3.5L V6, this platform yields 20 MPGs in the city and 27 MPGs on the highway (proving better than its leading competitor, the Honda Pilot). A continuously variable transmission bolsters every rev, eliminating resource-consuming downshifts; while the Intelligent 4X4 smoothly responds to each terrain, with its intuitive sensors assessing tire grippage, steerage, and traction to identify the most efficient power-bands. An electronic drive-by-wire throttle ensures a seamless ignition (reducing the amount of fuel needed to achieve acceleration); and technologies like Hill Assist and Descent Control provide deft navigation, maintaining optimum torque distribution and relieving engine strain.
Nissan has carefully tailored the 2018 Pathfinder for the modern market - ensuring that drivers achieve a combined MPG ratio of 23. This promises fewer station visits and (more importantly) less money wasted at the pump.
