The esteemed automotive research company Kelley Blue Book has, for the fourth consecutive year, deemed the Pathfinder one of â€œThe 12 Best Family Cars of 2017â€. KBB announced that their scoring was based primarily on a vehicleâ€™s ability to â€œplease the people it carriesâ€, and well, they couldnâ€™t have been more accurate.

The Pathfinderâ€™s innovative Rear Door Alert System reminds you of anything that might have been left in the back seat. Dry-cleaning, sports equipment, whatever; you can rest assured that this SUVâ€™s got you covered. Whatâ€™s more, with standard Automatic Emergency Braking, potential frontal collisions are kept right where they should beâ€” at an absolute minimum.

Did we mention the Pathfinderâ€™s 3.5L Direct Injection V6 kicks out 284-horsepower while keeping its highway fuel economy at an astounding 26 mpg? So load up and tow to your heartsâ€™ content, folks! In the event that your cargo happens to be your kids, features like NissanConnect, SiriusXM radio, and EZ Flex Seating Systemâ„¢ ensure that the ride will not only be the best youâ€™ve ever had, but theirs too.

Futuristic Sweat-Sensing Seat Technology Could Help Seattle Drivers

Everyone understands the perils that come with drunk driving, but hereâ€™s a little known but related fact: Operating a vehicle under the influence of not enough water carries its own hazards. And Nissan wants to fight the problems associated with dehydration while behind the wheel via awareness brought through new sweat-sensing seat technology.

According to a 2015 study by the European Hydration Institute, drivers that only took approximately a sip of water before operating a vehicle were at risk of making twice as many mistakes as properly hydrated travelers. The number of errors made equated to roughly the kind of performance seen in individuals under the influence of a 0.08-percent blood alcohol content (BAC) level. Shocking, right?

As a result of this revelation, late this year Nissan teamed with Drooq to create a new seating materialâ€”SOAK coating. It changes color when coming in contact with a driverâ€™s sweat, turning yellow to indicate the passenger should rehydrate. Conversely, it alters to blue to give an â€œall clear.â€ While this new tech isnâ€™t currently planned for any production vehicles, future cars from the Japanese manufacturer (including, perhaps, the beloved Pathfinder) could always introduce it.

Nissan Hopes to Bring New Internal Combustion Engine to Seattle Vehicles

(Posted on Nov 25, 2017 at 07:35PM by Billy Kirk)

Gasoline-fueled engines arenâ€™t dead yet. Nissan, a leader in the all-electric movement, hasnâ€™t lost their faith in the virtues of the classic motor configuration. Instead, the Japanese automaker is poised to introduce new internal combustion technologies expressly designed to prolong its shelf life.

Head of Nissanâ€™s gasoline engine project group, Shinichi Kiga, says that one of their forthcoming internal combustion engine technologies is scheduled for debut in Los Angeles on Nov. 28th at a media event. The variable compression ratio system will first see its introduction via a new Infinity QX50 sport utility vehicle, although itâ€™s likely other machines, including the Pathfinder, will benefit in the future.

The variable compression ratio system will be integrated as part of the VC-Turbo engine included under the hood of the refreshed QX50. This motor stands apart from current setups thanks to its heightened thermal efficiency, which refers to how much â€œoomphâ€ a power plant produces from a single unit of fuel. Instead of the 20- to 30-percent efficiency average commonly seen today, the technology is set to deliver a maximum of approximately 40-percent.

Itâ€™s a simple mistake. You slide out of a car, juggling stacks of paper and smartphone social feeds. Time proves your perpetual enemy and itâ€™s waging a fierce war this morning, rendering you late for an appointment. You hastily cross the parking lot, debating whether you can risk waiting for the elevator or if you should just suffer on the stairs.

In your rush to the office, however, you forget that oh-so-important laptop that houses all of your presentation notes. It's sitting in the backseat of your SUV; and so you arrive to your meeting with seconds to spareâ€¦ and no materials to showcase.

With the release of the 2018 Pathfinder, Nissan hopes to save you from this frustration. Check out the new Rear-Door Alerts function.

According to the NY Daily News, this system should deliver convenience. Utilizing advanced interior sensors, it monitors rear door accessÂ - noting all openings and closings. By assessing activity, it can determine when items have been stowed in the back of the 2018 Pathfinder. Should drivers fail to retrieve these groceries, sporting goods, suitcases, and more, the car will automatically release a distinct triple honk of its horn. This (when paired with a flashing dashboard display) will ensure that all contents are retrieved.

Through its Rear-Door Alerts system, Nissan is enabling drivers to redefine their experiences - ensuring that no precious cargo is forgotten. The 2018 Pathfinder (which features a suite of intelligent mobility features, including the 360-degree Around View Monitor and Adaptive Cruise Control) will promote peace-of-mind with every mile.

Do you frequently leave the lights on or forget to lock your car? Soon these troubles will be a distant memory with Amazon Alexa. Nissan recently announced that this smart-home technology will be available on the 2018 Pathfinder, as well as the Armada and Leaf.

Amazon Alexa is truly revolutionizing the automotive industry by giving drivers control over certain connected-car functions with the sound of their voice. With this technology, Nissan owners can lock and unlock doors, honk the horn, flash the lights and start or stop the engine. All they have to say is, "Alexa, ask NissanConnect Services to...", followed by the command â€“ and voila!

Hereâ€™s how it works:

Brilliant!

Alexa is already available on many 2016-2017 model yearÂ Nissans, including the Altima, GT-R, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, Sentra and Titan. But, this extension to the 2018 Pathfinder, Armada and Leaf vehicles is certainly a welcomed addition, especially for drivers in the Pacific Northwest who rely on remote start during the winter.
