If you're shopping for a daily driver that can do it all — from carpooling the neighbor kids and your own to school to hauling a small camper for weekend getaways — take a closer look at the 2016 Nissan Pathfinder. This seven-seat crossover SUV has folding second- and third-row seating that opens up cargo room when needed. In addition to its utility, this vehicle features ample modern tech and offers a comfortable ride. New for 2016, a Cold package for the SV trim with heated front seats and a heated steering wheel debuted.
All four trims (S, SV, SL, and Platinum) of the 2016 Nissan Pathfinder run on a 3.5L V6 engine with 260 hp and 240 lb-ft of torque paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT). Front-wheel drive is standard or there's optional all-wheel drive. If you live in a climate with snow or in an area with steep gravel roads, AWD models have hill-descent control and a locking center differential feature that redistributes power to the wheels, making your drives easier.
The 2015 Nissan Pathfinder SV, SL, and Platinum trims also have a hybrid option featuring a supercharged 2.5L four-cylinder engine mated to a 15-kilowatt electric motor and compact lithium-ion battery pack. This engine choice also has a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The towing capacity for the hybrid is an estimated 3,500 lbs when properly equipped.
Inside the 2016 Nissan Pathfinder, you'll find 16 cu-ft of storage space behind the third-row seats. If you fold the second and third-row seats down, you have 79.8 cu ft to work with. Do you need to haul people and supplies? The 2016 Nissan Pathfinder can tow an estimated 5,000 lbs when properly equipped.
If you love to crank the tunes on your morning drive or use Bluetooth® to sync your phone to your car's audio system, the 2016 Nissan Pathfinder SV trim can deliver. You'll also enjoy a seven-inch infotainment display, a rearview camera, available satellite radio, and a USB input.
In addition to the connectivity tech, you'll find handy driving aids on the 2016 Nissan Pathfinder. On all trims, you'll enjoy stability control and traction control. Choose an SL or Platinum trim to get a blind-spot warning system and rear-cross traffic alerts. These prove especially helpful when backing out of parking spaces or changing lanes on the highway.
