The Pathfinder comes standard with a 3.5-liter V6, which is a variant of the same engine from the potent Maxima. While the big V6 isn't unique in the segment, what sets the Pathfinder apart is Nissan's signature CVT transmission. Nissan has been a pioneer in continuously variable transmissions, offering one in nearly every model except for the true sports cars and large trucks. The CVT allows the engine to operate with a near infinite number of gear ratios, allowing the beefy V6 to maintain the optimal rev range and engine output at all times. This allows for optimal power and optimal fuel economy.
