The 2013 Nissan Pathfinder will be arriving in showrooms by the end of this month, and the good news for potential buyers is that the new model will have a lower price than the vehicle it replaces. Nissan has priced the 2013 Pathfinder at $28,270 - $1,020 less than the 2012 model - which does not include the destination charge (*) that tacks on an extra $825 to the bottom line.

For this base price, buyers get the Pathfinder S, and from there, Nissan has shaken up the trim levels a little for the new body style. The SV is still the next step up (and usually represents the volume model for Nissan) starting at $32,640, marking a $1,110 price drop from 2012. The SL and Platinum trim levels are new for 2013, and these models start at $34,470 and $39,170, respectively. Nissan has yet to announce the specific content that comes with each trim level, but all versions of the new Pathfinder are powered by a 3.5-liter V6 routed to the front wheels through Nissan's latest Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT); four-wheel drive is available across the lineup as a $1,600 option.

Speaking of options, Nissan announced a few of the options for the new Pathfinder, but it has yet to release what each option adds. Some of the standout options include the $2,650 SL Premium Package on the SL models only, the $1,850 dual DVD entertainment system for all but the base model and the $2,300 Platinum Premium Package which likely adds every imaginable option into what should be an already decked-out Pathfinder Platinum.

More trim level and option details should be available closer to the launch of the 2013 Pathfinder, but until then, check out the press release below.Continue reading 2013 Nissan Pathfinder headed to dealers with $28,270* starting price
