2009 Nissan Pathfinder Trims and Specs

The LE is the lowest of the top-tier 2009 Nissan Pathfinder trims. This rear-wheel-drive trim holds the same 4.0-liter V6 as the rest of the model line-up, with a five-speed automatic transmission. Look to a roof rack and running boards, skid plates and a front tow hook for the adventurous streak in you, while 18-inch alloys and foglights make sure you roll in style.

That style continues inside with leather upholstery for the heated front bucket seats, as well as the second- and third-row split-folding units. Here, the driver gets 8-way power while the passenger fold-flat seat is deleted for a 4-way power bucket. The driver also gets a memory system that controls the seat, the heated power mirrors, and the power-adjustable pedals. Cruise control, a tachometer, trip computer, compass, garage door opener, and an automatically dimming rearview are all on tap, just to make life that much easier for the driver.

All passengers enjoy a Bose sound system with satellite radio and Bluetooth, as well as dual-zone automatic climate controls, rear air conditioning with separate controls, and a center console. Rear passengers are shielded by privacy glass, and everyone can see thanks to automatic headlights, front variable-intermittent wipers, a rear intermittent wiper and washer combo, and a rear defogger. While power windows, doors, and mirrors are standard on all Pathfinders, the LE enjoys keyless access and starting as well. Finally, a rearview camera is added to combat any visibility issues.

Safety features for the 2009 Nissan Pathfinder LE include traction control, antilock four-wheel disc brakes with anti-skid, and a tire pressure monitor. Dual front airbags protect occupants, along with front side and curtain side units with rollover deployment. Front-seat active head restraints are also included, along with a theft-deterrent system.

Adding All-Mode four-wheel drive and a two-speed transfer case to the base LE trim gives you the 2009 Nissan Pathfinder LE 4X4.
