The Pathfinder’s major overhaul happened last year. The body was toned down, a monocoque chassis replaced the ladder frame, a continuously-variable transmission took over, and the capacity of the V6 engine went from 4 to 3.5 litres. So, there are no modifications for 2015 and the Pathfinder is back in S, SL, SV and Platinum versions with either front- or all-wheel drive. A hybrid Pathfinder is now offered with a turbocharged four-cylinder.
