The Pathfinder is part of the waning mid-sized SUV category. As a consequence, Nissan has abandoned the LE version's V8 engine, keeping the 4.0-litre V6 only. Offering seven seated places, four-wheel drive, and high towing capabilities, the Pathfinder is an extremely versatile multi-use vehicle. Its high fuel-consumption naturally contributes to deterring many buyers, but, still, some people really need such a vehicle.
