If your Seattle area family is looking for a roomy seven-passenger SUV with car-like dynamics and good fuel economy, the 2016 Nissan Pathfinder is a strong contender. This particular model is easy to pilot with its smooth ride and compliant on-road manners and the Platinum trim comes fully-loaded with some really awesome features.
Â
Let's take a closer look by starting with what's under the hood. The 2016 Pathfinder is anchored by a mighty V6 engine that offers a good balance of power and efficiency. It easily tows 5,000 lbs and returns up to 27 mpg on the highway when in front-wheel drive. If you see yourself travelling on varied terrain in all types of weather, you can also choose all-wheel drive for added traction. The sole transmission on this model year is continuously variable (or CVT), which drives more like a traditional automatic with stepped gears.Â
Â
Across its three rows, the Platinum is also bursting at the seams with premium inclusion, such as supple leather seating, heated front and rear seats, a heated power-adjustable steering wheel, a power-adjustable front passenger seat, and a convenient 120-volt AC power outlet in the second row. There's also a standard navigation system, a panoramic moonroof, cooled front seats, an Around View monitor, and a Bose premium audio system. Again, these are all standard features at the Platinum trim level, which is great value for the price.
