Cons: Disappointing fuel economy; higher noise levels than many class competitors; 3rd-row seating is sized for kids[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][vc_column_text]CG Says: The 2018 Nissan Pathfinder has few changes after its significant updates last year. Automatic emergency braking is now standard. A new Rear Door Alert reminds drivers to check the backseat for passengers before leaving the vehicle. Pathfinder is a crossover midsize SUV with three rows of seating. The sole powertrain is a 284-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 paired with a CVT transmission. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are available on all models. Available features include surround-view camera with moving-object detection, hands-free liftgate, and adaptive cruise control. Nissan’s 7-passenger midsize SUV offers smooth power and excellent cargo flexibility, along with fine driving manners and a good selection of features at reasonable prices. The Pathfinder’s primary demerit is real-world fuel economy that doesn’t live up to many class competitors.[/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”padding_space” margin_top=”10″ margin_bottom=”10″][mk_content_box heading=”The Facts”][mk_table el_class=”new-review-specs”]
