Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
The day begins with a groan. You slide into a sedan - wincing at the hard press of vinyl, sighing at the small span of a seat. The cabin delivers no comfort. Instead you spend the miles lamenting every press of the pedal. This is unacceptable.

Nissan agrees - which is why it’s paired the 2018 Pathfinder with superior comfort. Discover a beautifully crafted interior that welcomes drivers and passengers alike.



As a Nissan press release explains, the 2018 Pathfinder delivers relief to commuters. Supple leather materials line the seats, with their padded bolsters and zero-gravity shapes helping to negate spinal stress (they’ve been perfectly contoured for long miles). Integrated heating and cooling technologies provide custom climate control, with both the front and rear cushions delivering multi-level capabilities; while power-adjustable support (10-way) pairs with lumbar assistance (2-way). The inclusion of the EZ-Flex system further improves highway experiences, allowing riders to recline, glide, and adjust their chairs with the press of a button.

The 2018 Pathfinder emphasizes ease for every passenger - but Nissan knows that drivers bear the brunt of every adventure. This is why the brand has bolstered the cabin with a heated steering wheel and a leather-wrapped shift knob, ensuring further convenience with each mile.

Appearances can prove deceiving - with a big-bodied SUV delivering surprising speed, easily keeping pace with its slim sedan brethren. Don’t believe us? Take a peek at the 2018 Pathfinder. This Nissan platform promises quick responses, delivering an aerodynamic profile to Seattle drivers.


According to Nissan, the 2018 Pathfinder has the size of a crossover but the grace of a coupe. How does it accomplish such a feat? Its body has been tailored to sail down the street, utilizing lean fenders and carefully sculpted carbon siding. A rear spoiler anchors the fascia, helping to increase stability; while the V-Motion grille has been fused with slotted bars to instantly redistribute airflow (this eliminates the need for active shutters, as well as reduces overall friction). A front chin splitter further improves performance, funneling wind, rain, and other environmental deterrents. When these elements pair together, they generate a drag coefficient of 0.326 - a staggeringly low number that pits this platform directly against its much-smaller competition.

The 2018 Pathfinder is designed to fly - with its aerodynamic body effortlessly maneuvering between traffic and trails alike. A 114.2-inch wheelbase proves easy to handle, utilizing electronic stability control to ensure smooth responses (under-steerage is eliminated through the use of torque sensors that assess curve performance, instantly adjusting power between each tire to compensate for deficiencies). Expect more from each mile.

It's the unthinkable; the unimaginable - forgetting your baby in the back seat of the car on a hot summer's day. In your heart-of-hearts, you know you would never intentionally leave your child in such danger, but accidents can happen - all it takes is a moment of forgetfulness. 
 
But, not if you drive a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder. New for this model year, all SUVs are equipped with a standard Rear Door Alert System, which reminds drivers to check the back seat of their vehicle by using a series of distinctive honks as they walk away. 
 
This smart technology was created by two Nissan staffers - Elsa Foley, an industrial engineer and mother of two young children, and Marlene Mendoza, a mechanical engineer and mother of three. "The Rear Door Alert uses a similar honking cue that has been proven successful with Nissan's Easy Fill Tire Alert," said Foley in a press release. "By drawing your attention back to the vehicle, once you've walked away, you are more likely to recheck the back seat than with a visual alert alone."
 
Watch this video to learn how it works:
 
 
Nissan has long been an innovator of advanced technologies and the Rear Door Alert System is no exception.

Nissan has fused this crossover with its exclusive Midnight Edition package, transforming once sedate lines into unforgettable style statements. Are you ready to inject a bit of black into your day?


According to a recent press release from Nissan, the 2018 Pathfinder has been tailored for Seattle’s fashion elite - with its Midnight Edition proving impossible to deny. 20-inch aluminum-alloy wheels crush the pavement. Dark-capped side-view mirrors flank the sleek new side panels, while a black V-Motion grille frames the front. Custom badges line the rear, perfectly complementing the splash guards and illuminated kick plates; while charcoal-colored roof rails accentuate the platform’s high arch (70-inches). Smoky metallic trim defines every angle, showcasing the sculpted fenders and slim spoiler alike.

To further impress drivers, the 2018 Pathfinder also boasts three bold colors - Pearl White, Gun Metallic, and Magnetic Black. These hues dazzle on the highway, with Nissan's boomerang-style headlamps delivering a sleek punch of LED contrast to each.

Innovation often proves impatient - with each year turning possibilities into realities, pushing the automotive market forever forward. There’s no time to waste; there’s no need to hesitate. Instead this force propels every vehicle toward newer, greater heights.

It’s no surprise, therefore, that the 2018 Pathfinder delivers a fresh style - with Nissan seeking to (once again) change the crossover market. Fashion and function now perfectly combine.



According to The Car Guide, the 2018 Pathfinder will impress in Seattle. This platform boasts a newly tweaked fascia - introducing drivers to dynamic style from every angle. The unibody construction delivers a sleek profile (199-inches long, 77-inches wide, 70-inches high). Boomerang-shaped headlamps flank the V-Motion Grille, which offers hexagonal detailing and chrome accents; LED running lights provide a chic contrast to the metallic paint options; and the front bumper has been revised, now transitioning seamlessly into the fenders.

The 2018 Pathfinder is anchored by a 3.5L V6 engine. To ensure that this 284 HP beast is properly housed, Nissan has created a sophisticated hood - forsaking traditional clam-shell lines for a dynamic arched effect. This marks the platform as thoroughly modern.

Let’s say you’re coming up to your car with an armful of baked goods for the family reunion. You have two options. You could put them down on the ground and risk throwing out your back (again), or kick your foot under the rear bumper and let the hands-free access system pop it open for you. Okay, but let’s say that your siblings are avid bikers; with folding second and third-row seats, an astounding 80 cubic feet of space can hold even more than just a couple cycles.

buy a new nissan pathfinder in seattle washingtonLet’s preface this post with the fact that conversation is a necessary piece of every road trip; a long drive through the countryside is one of the only times you can get the whole family together and actually keep them there. That being said, by about the fourth or fifth hour it’s understandable why chatter might begin dwindling. When that moment does finally come, the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder has got your back.

We’ll start with the least obvious entertainment features in this SUV. The Pathfinder’s 
dual-panel panoramic moonroof runs the entire length of the car, allowing your passengers to (in their ever-increasing boredom) stare up at the awe-inspiring celestial dome above them. And with 138 cubic feet of volume, the profound serenity of the sky might even be able to put them to sleep. But in the event that that does not happen…

The Pathfinder’s tri-zone entertainment system provides music (via B
lueTooth) up front and video in the back. Dual 8” monitors attached to the driver and passenger headrests give those in the 2nd row movies, video games, or the ability to plug in a laptop, smartphone, or tablet. It’ll be like your kids never left home!

As part of the holiday season, Nissan took it upon themselves to look back on a dozen of the most significant industry news stories of 2017. One of their chosen highlights involves the incredible 2018 Pathfinder and its Rear Door Alert technology.



Imagine that you’ve just headed to the store to pick up a variety of groceries, including some ice cream to cater to your sweet tooth. You happen to throw the bulk of the bags in the front passenger seat floorboard, but run out of room and place a few in the rear—including the aforementioned treat. When you arrive home, however, you rush inside with all your goods but neglect the few parcels left in the back. And that includes your chilled dessert—which, before you remember to return and grab it, turns into a soupy mush in the summer heat outside.



Such an event can be avoided, however. Nissan’s Rear Door Alert—included on the 2018 Pathfinder—works to prevent such mishaps by using advanced interior sensors. It leverages these to intelligently monitor all openings and closings and knows when you don’t return to grab your goods. When this happens, the crossover releases a triple horn honk to gain your attention before you run inside. Smart!
