Nissan Pathfinder
If the Murano is all about luxury, the Pathfinder is a more utilitarian model meant mainly for the road (and not for potholed trails, as was the case with the previous version). Its monocoque chassis guarantees refined handling, better soundproofing and more comfort and roominess. Certain versions feature all-wheel drive, otherwise it's a front-wheel drive. Last year's hybrid version is now only offered on special order.
