With the holidays come the promise of travel, but if your current sedan is too small, it can make the most pleasant of road trips a stressful affair. Why wait for Santa to gift you a new vehicle? Consider upgrading your family’s fleet with a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder SL. This preowned model is well-suited for big groups with its seven-passenger layout, plus it boasts a great feature set and strong engine performance for an effortless on-road experience.
Â
The 2017 Pathfinder is anchored by a 3.5-liter V6 engine, delivering a healthy dose of 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. Mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission with an all-wheel drivetrain, you’ll love the four-wheel traction, especially in snowy or wet conditions. To help you stay on budget, the SUV is also wonderfully fuel efficient with an EPA-rating of 22 mpg combined. Need to tow a trailer with your snow toys? The Pathfinder can haul up to 6,000 lbs.
Â
Inside, the SL trim has all the bells and whistles you need. This includes a blind-spot monitoring system and rear cross-traffic alert system to help you avoid collisions on busy streets. Loading up the SUV is also an easy task with the standard power liftgate with hands-free operation. On longer drives, you’ll appreciate the supportive upgraded seats, which feature two-way power lumbar adjustments and memory settings for the driver seat, while your kids will love the heated outboard second-row seats on chilly mornings.
