Tiptronic shifting (developed by Porsche and licensed to some other manufacturers) is like paddle shifting with some convenience features (like auto 1st to 2nd, auto downshift, etc.). The Pathfinder's "Xtronic" semi-manual just limits your upshift. In other words, when in the manual 3rd gear setting, the transmission still shifts automatically – it just doesn't go past 3rd gear.
