The 2011 Nissan Pathfinder has a strong feature set compared to most other truck-based SUV models. Most tech-savvy shoppers will be happy with what's inside, and Nissan allows even those who want a focused off-road vehicle quite a level of luxury.
New this year is the Pathfinder SV, which replaces the Pathfinder SE and slots just above the base Pathfinder S. The Pathfinder S comes with an ample but unremarkable list of features, but the new SV adds a lot, including a multi-function display, power driver's seat, power-adjustable pedals, upgraded seat fabric, illuminated steering-wheel audio controls, rear climate control, fog lamps, running boards, a garage-door opener, and a rear-view monitor.
Above the SV, the Pathfinder Silver Edition gets dressed up with machine-finished alloy wheels, heated outside mirrors, and special badging, plus heated seats, Bluetooth hands-free, Intelligent Key, XM Satellite Radio, and upgraded Bose audio with ten speakers. The LE model is worth checking out if you want a more luxurious driving experience; it offers an optional DVD entertainment system that is not available on any other models, plus leather, a heated steering wheel, and wood trim.
Options for all models include a nav system with a 9.3GB Music Box entertainment, DVD entertainment, and a power sunroof.
Conclusion
The 2011 Nissan Pathfinder has a respectable list of features, though the focused off-road features are gone and the top LE trim can still push past $45k.
