Are you in the market for a midsize crossover but you want all the benefits of having a hybrid powertrain? Look no further, because the 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid is trickling its way into a new market segment to serve customers like you.

The Pathfinder Hybrid is the Japanese automaker's first production hybrid SUV with a front-wheel drive drivetrain. Nissan priced the base model starting at $35,970, including destination fees.

Those more interested in investing in an all-wheel drive vehicle can shoot for the SV, SL, or Platinum grade options. Each of these options start at prices of $37,570, $40,510, and $45,210, respectively.

We know it's a hybrid model, but what exactly is under that hood? The Pathfinder Hybrid carries a 2.5-liter supercharged four-cylinder gasoline engine paired to a 15-kilowatt electric motor that functions on a continuously-variable transmission. As for the lithium-ion battery pack, you'll find that nestled under the third row seat, leaving ample loading room in this hybrid version.

That said, the system helps the vehicle to produce 250-horsepower and 243 lb.-ft. of torque. Nissan also estimates that the Pathfinder Hybrid crossover achieves fuel economy ratings at 26 mpg combined (25 mpg city/28 mpg highway).
