In order to make traveling in the winter safer and more controlled for drivers in snowy climates, a four-wheel-drive vehicle is one of the best modes of transportation. Many drivers searching for their ideal all-weather vehicles often ask “does the Nissan Pathfinder have four-wheel drive?,” and we’re happy to report that it does. The four-wheel-drive (4WD) 2016 Nissan Pathfinder delivers incredible traction and maneuverability in inclement conditions, so drivers can travel more confidently during the winter months.

One of the Pathfinder’s most unique features is its class-exclusive All-Mode 4x4i Dial. Drivers have the option of selecting either two- or four-wheel drive as well as auto mode in order to customize the vehicle’s settings to accommodate the driving conditions. The 4WD Mode can be locked in when drivers face challenging weather conditions or rugged terrains. Auto Mode can be engaged when drivers want the Pathfinder to do the thinking, as this mode will automatically utilize 4WD power if it senses a loss of traction then switch back to two-wheel drive to improve the vehicle’s gas mileage.
