With its stylish cabin and respectable fuel economy ratings, the 2016 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum is a solid choice for Seattle area drivers in need of a preowned SUV. It boasts a family-friendly configuration with seating for seven across its three rows, plus it comes loaded with top-of-the-line features, offering the utmost in comfort and convenience.
Â
Under the hood, the 2016 Pathfinder is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine, which delivers 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque. It comes mated to a continuously variable transmission and can be paired with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The Platinum's AWD system boasts hill-descent control and a locking center differential that fixes power distribution in a 50/50 front-to-rear ratio. This technology provides enhanced performance on tough terrain, but it won't cost you extra in fuel expenses. According to Edmunds, the Pathfinder is rated at 21 mpg combined (19 city/26 highway), which is very respectable for a seven-seater SUV. What's more, it can also tow up to 5,000 lbs.

Inside, the 2016 Pathfinder Platinum offers huge appeal with its attractive cabin. High-quality materials give it a decidedly premium look, while the power-adjustable steering wheel and ventilated front seats add to the SUV's comfort. On the center stack, the gauges and controls are easy to find and operate, plus there is an 8-inch touchscreen that's extremely user-friendly. When you slip into the interior of the Pathfinder, you won't feel like you are missing out on a luxury driving experience - that's for sure.
