2020 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum

The 2020 Pathfinder is Nissan's three-row family SUV, slotting between the smaller Rogue and the larger Armada. It squares off against the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Ford Explorer in the competitive mid-size SUV segment. The V6 provides confident acceleration for merging and passing, while the CVT helps keep fuel economy respectable for a vehicle this size. With three rows, the Pathfinder seats up to seven, and folding the rear rows opens up generous cargo space for hauling gear. Owners praise the comfortable seats, spacious cabin, and the available heated steering wheel that warms hands quickly on cold mornings. The Platinum is the top Pathfinder trim, so you get the full luxury treatment without stepping up to a more expensive SUV. The 3.5L V6 makes 284 horsepower and sends power through a CVT to front-wheel drive, which returns 23 mpg combined.
