2015 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum

The Pathfinder is Nissan's three-row family SUV, the one you cross-shop with the Highlander and Pilot when you need room for seven. It drives more like a car than a truck, with a smooth ride and a tight turning radius that makes it easy to maneuver in town. The cabin is spacious and quiet, with comfortable leather seats and heated seats in the first two rows on higher trims. The third row is tight for adults and eats into cargo space when raised, but the liftgate opens automatically on higher trims. The Platinum adds 20-inch wheels, a dual-pane moonroof, heated and cooled front seats, and a Bose audio system over the SL. Its 3.5L V6 makes 260 horsepower and 240 lb-ft of torque, routed through a CVT and four-wheel drive that returns 21 mpg combined. The Around View Monitor gives you a 360-degree camera view, which makes parking this big SUV much easier.
