When it comes to city driving and off-road capability, the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum can deliver both. It’s high fuel economy and welcoming cabin make this SUV a dream for mothers in Kirkland. Able to hold seven passengers, there is ample room for the entire clan. If you need additional storage space in the back, simply fold down the seats to expand the cargo area to 79.8 cubic feet.
Under the hood rests a robust 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 260 hp and 240 pound-feet of torque. Equipped with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive, it gets 22 mpg combined (20 city/26 highway). With the proper towing package, this model can haul 5,000 lbs.
The top-of-the-line Platinum trim level includes glimmering 20-inch wheels and roof rails. The cabin is draped in subtle leather upholstery that is heated and cooled for comfort during the changing seasons. To assist with parallel parking, the multi-view camera system prevents fender benders. Real-time traffic has also been integrated into the navigation interface to keep you on the quickest route.
