2013 Nissan Pathfinder Concept | Review-Price-Interior-Exterior

Nissan showed off the next Pathfinder in what it loosely called concept form in January at the Detroit auto show, but now the automaker has revealed additional interior photos.

Concept or not, any variations between these images and the production model will almost certainly be too minute to even spot, so if you are curious what the 2013 Pathfinder will look like inside – scope the gallery above in detail.

“As families spend more time in their SUVs everyday as well as on weekends, the next-gen Pathfinder is stepping up with enhanced comfort, innovative technology, increased fuel efficiency, and most importantly, more flexibility for the family,” said Nissan regarding the new approach for the Pathfinder. Nissan says that the next Pathfinder is intended to make a big push towards premium interior looks, touch and features. Also high on the list is functionality, as found with the close to best-in-class second-row space, 5.5-inches of seat travel for the second row, a 60/40-split second row that allows third row access without having to remove a child seat from the second row.

Like the boxy, trucky, third-gen Pathfinder, the concept is able to seat seven passengers in three rows, but the similarities appear to end there. This new model, for one, appears as if it actually will be aerodynamic. That’s right: Goodbye, rugged boulder-basher. Hello, slippery soft-roader. We can’t say we mind much, since the flared fenders, angled front fascia, and overall contours are handsome if a touch conservative.

But if you think the exterior is cautious, steel yourself for what’s inside—it’s even more nondescript. The company isn’t releasing any specific information about the Pathfinder’s seating configurations or its comfort, entertainment, and convenience features, but it does go way out on a limb and promise plenty of space within the Pathfinder’s manageably sized exterior dimensions. (We’d love to read just one press release that said, “Yeah, this thing is large, but it’s going to have, like, no interior room. Sorry.”) There is one more thing: The concept has a dual-pane panoramic sunroof. This probably will show up on the final options list. 

With three rows, accommodations for seven passengers and what Nissan promises to be towing ability comparable to leaders in the segment of three-row crossovers, we wonder if the smaller V6 is up to the Pathfinder's daily duties. Then again, if those duties don't stray far from pulling a pair of water toys to the lake or carting the soccer team's starting midfield to practice and back, it should be plenty.

The 2013 Nissan Pathfinder will be available in September and goes up against an increasingly tough class that includes the Chevrolet Traverse, Dodge Durango and the redesigned Ford Explorer. The Hyundai Veracruz, Mazda CX-9 and Toyota Highlander are also formidable considerations for crossover buyers.

2013 Nissan Altima | Review,Price,Interior,Exterior

Over the next 15 months, Nissan will be rolling out 5 all-new models. As the brand strives to take over 10 percent of the total market share in the next few years, it has got a lot riding on these new cars, which will make up the bulk of Nissan’s sales. First up is the new 2013 Altima, which we were invited to drive in Nashville, where the company’s North American headquarters are located. For us, this opportunity to drive the new sedan is like a small glimpse into the future, so we headed down to Music City to try out this automotive crystal ball.

 

Of course, the first thing one will notice is the Altima’s new look. It’s about an inch wider and an inch longer, with a lower roofline than before, giving it a more planted stance. The sheetmetal is much more evocative, with strong lines and creases. To us, it looks as though it has taken some cues from big brother Maxima, and it feels like the Altima has grown up a bit. We have some reservations about the use of chrome on the exterior, particularly the one line across the rear of the car, but it doesn’t project the level of gaudiness sometimes seen on its American counterparts. We’ll let prospective customers make judgments about the car’s appearance, but we think most will find this to be a nice step forward for the Altima, with a useful infusion of some personality.

 

The fundamentals of the car have been updated as well, particularly in the powertrain. The Altima’s 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine has been redesigned, and is lighter and more efficient than that of the outgoing vehicle. In driving, we were pleasantly surprised by the ample and smooth accelerative feel of the motor’s 182 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque (up from 175/180). Especially considering the mileage this engine metes out (27/38 miles per gallon, estimated), it seems a quite capable and good fit for the new car.

 2,500 rpm in a family sedan generally isn't a whole lot to get excited about. In fact, it's traditionally closer to idle speed than anything offering the possibility of real entertainment. But each and every one of those 2,500 revolutions in this 2013 Nissan Altima offers a frisson of excitement when whirling away in concert. Why? Because they add up to 100 mph. In a four cylinder.

Process that for a minute: 2,500 revs = 100 mph in a 2.5-liter normally aspirated four-door kinshlepper. This, friends, is impressive. We first verified the figure for ourselves during a prototype drive at Nissan's Arizona proving grounds back in March. More real-world numbers include 2,000 rpm at 80 mph and just 1,450 rpm at 60 mph. Credit the Altima's Continuously Variable Transmission, which has been extensively reworked for this new model. Seventy percent of the transmission's parts are new, and internal friction has been reduced by up to 40 percent through a battery of small tricks including redesigned internals swimming in lower viscosity oil. The transmission has a super-wide 7.0 gear ratio spread and reprogrammed control logic to help the keep all four pots on boil as necessary.

There are all the high-tech and safety features you’d expect, but the top one involves filling the tires with air. The horn beeps when the recommended tire pressure is reached — very helpful at gas stations that offer just a hose and no pressure gauge. 

The “Storm Blue” SL model with the V-6 that I drove would go out the door for $32,620 with options including a navigation system with seven- inch color display screen, and blind-spot and lane-departure warning among other extras. That price also includes shipping. 

The Altima should begin arriving at dealers in early July from plants in Smyrna, Tenn., and Canton Miss. A base-model four will start at $21,500, rising to $22,500 for the midrange S model and $24,100 for the top-of-the-line SV. Prices for the V-6 start at $25,360. 

My early choice would be the more-refined V-6 that transformed the Altima into a nice, almost luxury automobile. Drivers on a tighter budget should find the four to be an excellent choice.

While a more extended weeklong drive may reveal some shortcomings, my initial impression is that the new Altima will offer a stiff challenge to its rivals, especially one of my faves in this category, the Accord.source:windingroad.com,autoblog.com,marketwatch.com
