The 2013 Nissan Pathfinder will be arriving in showrooms by the end of this month, and the good news for potential buyers is that the new model will have a lower price than the vehicle it replaces. Nissan has priced the 2013 Pathfinder at $28,270 – $1,020 less than the 2012 model – which does not include the destination charge (*) that tacks on an extra $825 to the bottom line.

For this base price, buyers get the Pathfinder S, and from there, Nissan has shaken up the trim levels a little for the new body style. The SV is still the next step up (and usually represents the volume model for Nissan) starting at $32,640, marking a $1,110 price drop from 2012. The SL and Platinum trim levels are new for 2013, and these models start at $34,470 and $39,170, respectively. Nissan has yet to announce the specific content that comes with each trim level, but all versions of the new Pathfinder are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 routed to the front wheels through Nissan's latest Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT); four-wheel drive is available across the lineup as a $1,600 option.

Speaking of options, Nissan announced a few of the options for the new Pathfinder, but it has yet to release what each option adds. Some of the standout options include the $2,650 SL Premium Package on the SL models only, the $1,850 dual DVD entertainment system for all but the base model and the $2,300 Platinum Premium Package which likely adds every imaginable option into what should be an already decked-out Pathfinder Platinum.

More trim level and option details should be available closer to the launch of the 2013 Pathfinder, but until then, check out the press release below.

About the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder
As one of Nissan's foundational vehicles in popularity, sales and segment leadership for more than a quarter century, the 2013 Pathfinder's combination of next-gen SUV design and smart technology brings a fresh approach to the SUV segment - just as the original Pathfinder did back in 1986.

Making the switch from body-on-frame to unibody construction, the newest generation remains family adventure ready with the highest standard towing rating in its class** (5,000-lb.), while also offering best-in-class passenger volume** and best-in-class 26 mpg* - an increase in fuel economy of over 30 percent***** versus the previous generation Pathfinder. Fuel economy is rated at 26 mpg Highway / 20 mpg City and 22 mpg Combined for the 2WD model and 25 mpg Highway / 19 mpg City and 21 mpg Combined for the 4WD model.

The all-new Pathfinder also features the EZ Flex Seating System™ with LATCH AND GLIDE™, an industry first 2nd row tip-up seat which allows easy 3rd row access with a child safety seat still installed, along with Nissan's Easy Fill Tire Alert and segment-first availability of the Around View® Monitor.

All 2013 Pathfinders come equipped with an advanced 260-horsepower 3.5-liter DOHC V6 engine matched with a next-generation Xtronic CVT® (Continuously Variable Transmission). It is also the only vehicle in its class** with selectable 2WD, Auto or 4WD Lock modes from the available intuitive ALL-MODE 4x4-i system. Quiet, comfortable ride and handling are provided by an independent strut front/multi-link rear design, with hydraulic electric power-assisted steering standard. Also standard are 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, with unique 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels offered with the Platinum model.

The all-new interior design features comfortable seating for seven and premium seating materials in all three rows, including available leather-appointed seating. The new Advanced Drive-Assistâ„¢ Display, located in the center of the instrument display between the tachometer and speedometer, features a 4.0-inch color display that uses natural-looking 3D-effect graphics. An available 8.0-inch touch-screen monitor provides intuitive interaction and control of the Nissan Navigation System, along with a variety of driver-selectable vehicle systems and settings.

A range of available amenities are also offered, including leather-appointed seating, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering wheel, programmable Nissan Intelligent Key®, Bluetooth® Hands-free Phone System, 13-speaker Bose® Premium Audio system, SiriusXM Satellite Radio (SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately), Tri-Zone Automatic Climate Control, RearView Monitor, remote engine start, tri-zone entertainment system and Dual Panorama Moonroof.
