If you are in search of a safe and capable vehicle for your family, consider test driving a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder SL. This preowned performer is loaded with protective features for your peace of mind on Seattle’s roads.
Â
Under the hood, the 2017 Pathfinder is anchored by a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission and all-wheel drive are standard on this model, which also boasts a four-wheel lock function and hill-descent control for added adhesion on all surfaces and inclines.
Â
Additionally, every Pathfinder model features traction and stability control for enhanced capability, as well as powerful antilock brakes. In the event of a collision, your family will stay safer thanks to the front side airbags and full-length side curtain airbags, plus there is a standard rearview camera to keep you aware of obstacles. Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are also included on the SL, while NissanConnect services, which includes automatic collision notification and emergency calling, can be added to the package.
Â
All told, these protective features truly make the 2017 Pathfinder one of the safest SUVs to drive. It received five-out-of-five stars for overall crash protection with four stars for front-impact protection and five stars for side-impact protection. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety also honored the Pathfinder with the highest possible rating of Good in the small- and moderate-overlap front-impact tests, along with a Good score for the side-impact, roof strength and head restraint tests.Â
