2014 Nissan Pathfinder S 2WD

The mid-size SUV segment saw a long-time champion dethroned as the Nissan Pathfinder outperformed the Toyota 4Runner to earn Nissan a 2014 Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America award.  After 5 consecutive years as champion, the 4Runner was ousted due to the Pathfinder’s strong fuel costs, resulting in low overall operating costs and the lowest lifecycle costs in 14 of 20 scenarios measured.  The 4Runner took the runner-up position by delivering best value in the other 6 scenarios.
 

Cost-of-Ownership compared to Segment Averages

The Vincentric Best Fleet Value in America award is based the vehicle's performance over multiple annual mileages (10k, 15k, 20k, 25k, and 30k)  and multiple lengths of ownership (24, 36, 48 and 60 months). The chart shown above reflects results from three years of ownership at 20,000 miles per year.
