TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Nissan Pathfinder

Nissan Pathfinder Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearComment
2013 Among those zigs, Nissan placed a big bet on continuously variable transmissions (CVTs). Many people don't like how CVT-based powertrains sound and feel (which is a bit much like a slipping conventional transmission). But CVTs can hold an engine at a set, optimal rpm, either low for economy or high for performance, as the vehicle accelerates. Unlike the related Infiniti JX, the new Nissan Pathfinder gets Nissan's latest CVT, which has a broader range (6.4 vs. 5.4 multiple between the highest and lowest possible ratio) and lower internal friction. So it has even more flexibility to maximize either performance or fuel economy. On the performance front, the CVT makes the most of a 3.5-liter V6 that, with 260 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque, under-performs the V6s in most competitors. Though a touch slow off the line, the 4,471-pound Pathfinder Platinum feels stronger than the quarter-ton-heavier GMC Acadia, and is generally as quick as anyone needs this sort of vehicle to be. Plant your foot, and it'll get to sixty in about eight seconds. Personally, I don't even mind how Nissan's CVT feels when paired with a V6 (though I do prefer the more direct feel of the CVT in the new Honda Accord). The CVT's real forte, though, is fuel economy. The front-wheel-drive Pathfinder earns EPA ratings of 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway. The 4WD Pathfinder does only a single mpg worse, 19/25. This is much better than the Acadia's 16/23, and also better than the Ford Explorer's 17/23, Honda Pilot's 17/24, the Toyota Highlander's 17/22, and the related Infiniti JX35's 18/23 (all with AWD). For higher fuel efficiency in a relatively affordable three-row crossover, you'd have to get a Highlander Hybrid (28/28). Or wait until next year, when Nissan will offer a hybrid version of the new Pathfinder (25/27). Unlike with competitors, you can lock the Pathfinder into two-wheel-drive. This might boost fuel efficiency a little. Four-wheel-drive isn't much necessary for dry-road performance or handling--the front tires manage the V6's torque well in all but the most energetic driving. In typical suburban driving after the engine was warmed up, the trip computer reported averages in the low 20s, and as high as 26 when I was especially easy on the gas and had good luck with traffic signals--impressive for a large crossover. A final bonus: unlike with the Infiniti JX, premium fuel isn't recommended. see full Nissan Pathfinder review

2013 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.5L V6

My first trip consisted of mostly highway driving in Texas. Speeds varied from 60 to 75 mph on the highway with very little in-town driving. Overall average was around 23.7 mpg (Calculated) which agreed very closely with the on-board computer. I am hoping that the mpg will increase as the car is broken in more. see full Nissan Pathfinder review

The fun of a V8 in a 5k+ lb vehicle had its penalties. Admittedly heavy on the gas, I averaged 13mpg in town and was lucky if I obtained 18mpg on long trips cruising at a steady 75mph. Manual said Premium fuel was recommended but regular worked fine. see full Nissan Pathfinder review

TrueDelta Reviews the Real Gas Mileage of the Nissan Rogue

Nissan Rogue Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearComment
2014 Though more fuel-efficient than heavier, truck-based SUVs, crossovers have remained much less fuel-efficient than lower, lighter, more aerodynamic cars. Especially if they are equipped with all-wheel-drive (AWD), which adds weight and drivetrain friction. Still, their efficiency has been improving. With EPA ratings of 25 mpg city, 32 mpg highway, the all-wheel-drive 2014 Nissan Rogue is the most fuel efficient compact crossover. (Add one mpg for the front-wheel-drive Rogue.) The new Subaru Forester comes close, with 24/32, followed by the Mazda CX-5 (24/30) and Mitsubishi Outlander (24/29). The Ford Escape (22/30), Honda CR-V (22/30) and Toyota RAV4 (22/29) lag behind the others. In the real world, the Rogue had no trouble beating the EPA estimates. In suburban driving the trip computer typically reported averages between 27 and 31. On one 65-mph highway run downtown, the trip computer reported 40.6 on the way there, then 27.9 on the return. Wind? That, and perhaps my foot wasn't as light. Though the latter figure is much less impressive, the two-way average of 34 is quite good for an all-wheel-drive crossover, especially with the outside temperature just above freezing. I tested the Subaru Forester in colder weather with a lot of snow on the roads, so unfortunately I cannot provide comparable real-world figures for it. The averages I did observe plus the EPA estimates suggest it should be not quite as efficient, but close enough that I'm calling this one a tie. Unless you don't need all-wheel-drive. Then the Rogue has an edge. Notably, both vehicles have continuously variable transmissions (CVTs). see full Nissan Rogue review
