The Pathfinder Challenges the Pilot

May 30, 2016

Finding the right three-row SUV is as easy as a test drive at your Nissan dealer Birmingham AL. If you measure the Pathfinder against the Pilot, you will see what we mean.

Size
The Pilot seats eight while the Pathfinder seats seven, but that’s the only way the Pilot seems to be bigger than the Pathfinder. Pathfinder passenger volume is 157.8 cu.ft. versus 151 cu.ft. for the Pilot. That’s quite a difference, especially if you factor in an eighth person. If you continue to compare numbers, you may find that the Pathfinder offers more front and center-row legroom than the Pilot. With a larger hatch opening than the Pilot, the Pathfinder makes it easier to access the hold. A special flat-folding floor makes it more competitive when it comes to cargo capacity.

Value
Shoppers will find that the Pathfinder also undercuts the Pilot on price. This doesn’t mean that the Pathfinder has fewer features. The base Pathfinder has push button start, a remote starter, a tri-zone climate control system, and a 7-inch touchscreen for smartphone integration. Learn about pricing.

Handling
Despite its spacious interior, the Pathfinder has a tighter turn circle. This allows it to be more agile than the Pilot. Kelley Blue Book writes that the Pathfinder’s premium handling makes it the sportiest in its class. The Pathfinder’s performance-minded engine reaches its peak torque rate quicker, allowing it to move faster at a lower rpm.

Financing
You can get a loan or lease for the Pathfinder from your Nissan dealer Birmingham AL. Find out about financing.
