Mid-Size SUV
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. |

The chart shown above reflects results from three years of ownership at 20,000 miles per year.
