The 2016 Nissan Pathfinder S is an SUV that deserves your attention, Seattle. It’s a car that wows because of its stellar commitment to two key factors—performance and spaciousness. It’s truly no surprise that consumers nationwide the past couple years have reported immensely positive driving experiences.


Let’s take a quick look at what makes the 2016 Pathfinder S tick. Under the hood lies a deeply impressive 3.5L V6 motor. It churns out 260 horses at 6,400 revolutions per minute (RPM) and 240-lb.-ft. of torque at 4,400 RPM. And check out the CVT. This isn’t a conventional automatic—that stands for “continuously variable transmission.†It operates using an unlimited range of effective gears to provide seamless transitions as you rev up the engine. There’s no jerkiness and no stuttering to be found.


The 2016 Pathfinder S is also magnificent any time you need to pack up gear, groceries or more. If you’re headed out for a simple run to the local store, the 16 cubic feet of storage with all seats up will do nicely. However, when you need to stock luggage and more, you can take advantage of the smart 50-50 folding third row. This opens up an awesome 79.8 ft³ of cargo room that’s positively cavernous.
