2018 Nissan Pathfinder S

The 2018 Pathfinder is Nissan's three-row family SUV, the one you cross-shop with the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander when you need room for seven. It drives smoothly and quietly on the highway, with a comfortable ride that soaks up bumps without feeling floaty. Inside, the cabin is spacious and quiet, with available heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and a power liftgate that owners love. The third row is handy for kids but tight for adults, and cargo space shrinks quickly when it's up, so plan accordingly for big trips. The base trim is the S, which sets it apart from the SV and SL by skipping power accessories like the power liftgate and heated seats. It uses the same 3.5L V6 and automatic transmission as the rest of the lineup, with front-wheel drive sending power to the front wheels for confident all-season traction.
