2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid arrives with supercharged engine, 26 mpg combined

Nissan just launched the fully redesigned Pathfinder for the 2013 model year, and now, there's a fuel-sipping hybrid version making its debut here at the New York Auto Show. The 2014 Pathfinder Hybrid packs all of the same features found in the standard crossover, but offers slightly better fuel economy and an improved cruising range, to boot.

The new hybrid is powered by a 2.5-liter supercharged engine (we're assuming it's a four-cylinder, though Nissan hasn't specified) coupled with a lithium-ion battery and 15-kilowatt electric motor, capable of producing 250 horsepower and 243 pound-feet of torque – 10 less horsepower but three more pound-feet than the standard V6 Pathfinder. Nissan says the hybrid crossover will be rated at 25/27 miles per gallon (city/highway), with a 26-mpg combined rating. This means that on a full tank, the cruising range of the Pathfinder Hybrid is a cool 526 miles....

2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid gives us dÃ©jÃ  vu is the Infiniti twin.

The rumors that we heard before about Pathfinder hybrid and supercharging came true. I'm guessing we'll see the resurrection of the NAH w/o Toyota HSD soon...

If the $3K premium guesses are right, judging by All-New 2013 Nissan Pathfinder SUV | Nissan USA Official Site, I'd guess that it'll start just shy of $32K. If so, that'll be interesting... I wonder if that'll cut into the sales of the pricey HiHy. '13 HiHy MSRP starts at a bit over $40K....
