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.

Each day you strive to remove them from your vocabulary, wanting to embrace unique meanings. As you peer into the 2018 Pathfinder, however, only one saying comes to mind: size really does matter.

Don’t worry - we’ll forgive this momentary lapse of creativity.



Boasting an expansive seven-passenger configuration, the new Pathfinder does indeed prove that bigger is better. Slip inside this platform and discover class-leading comfort - with its 114-inch wheelbase certain to accommodate families and cargo with ease.

Embrace the dark side of luxury - with the 2018 Pathfinder delivering a bold look for the new year. 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.

The dark side has never seemed so appealing.

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.

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!

It’s a simple mistake. You slide out of a car, juggling stacks of paper and smartphone social feeds. Time proves your perpetual enemy and it’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 spare… 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 access  - 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.
