La nouvelle 2014 Nissan Pathfinder hybrides métiers des modèles off-road Brawn pour le confort sur route, ce qui en fait un facteur encore plus grave pour les personnes et les familles qui cherchent une taille moyenne ou grande crossover SUV.

For the new 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid the carmaker abandoned the SUV’s underlying truck platform for a car-based crossover architecture and braced itself for two dirty words: “soft-roader.” The last-generation Pathfinder was a heavy, rugged truck adept at off-road adventure and towing. But Nissan gambled that the Pathfinder was better off with improved ride quality and expanded second- and third-row quarters. With this SUV, Nissan adds improved fuel economy to the equation.

Instead of the stout V6 used in the standard seven-passenger Pathfinder, the hybrid uses a supercharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. The four-cylinder alone is good for 230 puissance en chevaux, but when combined with a 15kW electric motor, output jumps to 250 hp with 243 lb-pi de couple. Those numbers are comparable to the V6′s 260 ch et 240 lb-pi, yet Nissan says the hybrid should return up to 26 mpg in combined driving. The standard Pathfinder returns 22 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive configuration.

Like the regular Pathfinder, the hybrid uses a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and will offer front- or all-wheel drive. The hybrid won’t be able to tow as much as the V6 Pathfinder, but still offers a respectable 3,500-pound capacity.

Aside from LED taillights, feel-good badging and hybrid-specific info screens, this SUV won’t look much different inside or out. The second row still slides and reclines, and Nissan says a super-slim battery pack design mounted under the third row doesn’t infringe on rear legroom or cargo space.

Quality interior materials and fit and finish don’t fall far from Infiniti-esque standards, and controls are intuitive and easy to reach. Nissan will offer the Pathfinder Hybrid in SV, SL and Platinum trim levels, starting with standard 18-inch wheels, Bluetooth and a rearview camera. Options and standard features on SL and Platinum models include 20-inch wheels, leather in all three rows, tri-zone climate control, un système de navigation, an 8-inch touchscreen display, a premium 13-speaker Bose audio system and a rear seat entertainment system.

Other equipment includes the three hybrid trim levels mirror those of their V-6 counterparts, and every hybrid comes with an eight-way power driver’s seat, Nissan’s Intelligent Key with pushbutton starting, a 4.2-inch gauge-cluster display, which is similar to the one offered in other Pathfinders, but in the hybrid it can show hybrid-specific info like whether the electric motor is aiding acceleration or regenerating the batteries. Buyers can add leather seating surfaces, heated and cooled front seats, un volant chauffant, a dual panoramic sunroof, and Nissan’s signature Around View multi-camera parking aid.

Nissan hasn’t announced pricing yet, but says the hybrid will carry a $3,000 premium over the standard model, which starts at $28,650. By our math, that’s a 25% increase in fuel economy for a 10 percent price hike. La 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid is available this summer.
