The Pathfinder, part of Nissan's lineup for decades, is a three-row midsize SUV with seating up to 7. Exceeding the average MPG (miles per gallon) for its class, it reduces fuel costs and the carbon footprint. It handles mud, snow, and sand with ease with optional all-wheel drive (AWD). Nissan offers a 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, and a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.
The 2014 Nissan Pathfinder is average compared to all vehicles.
Comparison to all vehicles. This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2014 Nissan Pathfinder has a score of 77, implying a 0.046% chance of driver death (4.1% chance of injury).
We estimate that the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0461% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 5.2679%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0461% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 5.2679% chance of being injured.
Compared to the average vehicle, the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder is 1% less likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other suvs, the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder is 13% more likely to result in a fatal accident.
