2015 Nissan Pathfinder vs 2015 Toyota Highlander

When you’re looking for a large crossover SUV that is both powerful and fuel-efficient, where do you turn? That’s a question facing many Houston-area drivers, and with many 2015 models now available at local dealerships, it’s a question that certainly has more than a few viable answers. However, two of the most popular large crossover SUVs--the 2015 Nissan Pathfinder and the 2015 Toyota Highlander--are frequently cited as the best of the crop. So how do they fare side by side?

It’s worth noting from the outset that the both the Pathfinder and Highlander have near-identical starting price, checking in at just under $30,000. However--and this is a big “however”--the base Highlander uses a 2.7L four-cylinder engine, one described by Edmunds.com as “lackluster.” To get the V6 powertrain that is a credible competitor for the standard offering in the Pathfinder, this base price immediately creeps closer to $32,000. Despite this disparity in price, the Pathfinder still offers a much better combined fuel economy--22 combined mpg to 22 for the Highlander--while matching the Highlander’s top towing capability and offering a more spacious rear seat for your passengers. So, who among us isn’t interested in a vehicle that is cheaper, more fuel efficient and more spacious? If these items are on your list, then the 2015 Nissan Pathfinder is for you!
