Amongst other things,
the prestigious New York Auto Show 2013 became the proverbial launch pad for
Nissan's first ever hybrid model, the 2014 Pathfinder. The hybrid model is to
mirror the exterior design of the previously launched Pathfinder model. Unlike
other contemporary, mid-sized crossovers, Nissan's hybrid has a seating
capacity of 7, arranged in the classic 3 row format. The estimated fuel economy
is 25 mpg in the city, 27 mpg on highways, and 26 mpg combined.

would cost significantly lesser than other 2014 Crossover SUV models, which
provide but little more than the Pathfinder Hybrid. When the Nissan Pathfinder
Hybrid will be launched in the market, reportedly late this summer, it is
likely to add more fuel to the fiery battle of the green (fuel-efficient, hybrid)
crossovers.
