![]() Needless to say, the Nissan Pathfinder has pretty much the worst fuel mileage and cannot even be compared with its competition. The Honda Pilot on the other hand is a great example of how to balance performance and fuel efficiency. The Toyota Highlander returns the best fuel efficiency figures, finally making us understand why the downsized four-cylinder engine was their weapon of choice. The Pathfinder has a fuel capacity of 21.1 gallons and hence has a decent range of 316 miles in the city and 464 miles on the highway. Opt for the V8, and things get further worse as these numbers fall to 13 MPG in the city and 18 MPG on the highway. However, this is not the case as the V6 only returns 14 MPG within city limits, 20 MPG on the highways, which results in a combined mileage of 17 MPG. One would expect the V-8 engine to offer bad fuel efficiency but there are some expectations from V6 to go easy on fuel. The Honda Pilot is the fastest as it completes the 0-60 mph sprint in 6.2 seconds while completing the quarter-mile in 14.5 seconds. Its rivals have better performance when you check real-world performance for the 0- 60 mph timing. The 2012 Pathfinder RWD itself is quite quick and does the 0-60 MPH run in just 7.8 seconds and goes on to cover the quarter-mile in 16.9 seconds, which makes it pretty quick by any standard.Īlthough the Nissan Pathfinder is more powerful than anything in its class, this remains only on paper. However, these are both nice updates and recommended as well.īy default, the Pathfinder comes with a rear-wheel-drive drivetrain, which can be upgraded to an all-wheel-drive with a V6 engine setup, whereas the V8 engine comes with an all-wheel-drive option only. However, if you look at the optional package list, it is quite short and only includes a sunroof and a rear seat media entertainment system. We recommend buying the SV trim of the Pathfinder as it is not only the most popular but also the one that is the most value for money. Navigation system with digital music storage And finally, you have a wide range of optional packages that you can choose from.Ĩ-way power driver seat, power-adjustable pedals One gets to choose between a 4.0L V-6 engine and a 5.7L V-8 engine producing 266 hp and 310 hp, respectively. The 2012 Nissan Pathfinder range is divided into five trim levels - S, SV, Silver, LE V6, and LE V8, and there is the option between various drivetrains layouts i.e., RWD and AWD.
