2024 Nissan Pathfinder

The Pathfinder has five trim levels. The S trim, available in two-wheel and four-wheel drive, has 18-inch alloy wheels, LED lights, and a V-motion grille. The SV adds LED fog lights and an optional moonroof, and the SL trim has optional 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels and a hands-free power liftgate. For added luxury, the Platinum trim has a panoramic sunroof and 20-inch wheels. The Rock Creek four-wheel drive is excellent off-road and looks formidable with its 18-inch beadlock-style wheels, all-terrain tires, a tubular roof rack, and a unique front with a dark V-motion grille.

The Pathfinder has a 3.5-liter Direct Injection Gasoline V-6 engine, providing 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque, which is more than sufficient for both daily drives and more complex tasks. This engine setup means the Pathfinder can handle a variety of driving conditions, from city trips to off-road fun. When set up correctly, the Pathfinder can pull up to 6,000 pounds, allowing it to tow boats, trailers, or RVs.

The Pathfinder's nine-speed automatic transmission makes gear changes smooth and efficient, and you can also get the Intelligent 4x4 system with seven drive/terrain modes for different road conditions. Gas mileage varies based on trim and drivetrain, with some models getting up to 23 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. The Rock Creek trim has a unique off-road suspension, giving improved performance on rough ground. The Pathfinder can go from zero to 60 mph in about seven seconds. Whether two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, the Pathfinder provides a great mix of power and fuel efficiency, making it suitable for many driving needs.

The 2024 Pathfinder's interior has lots of room and excellent features. It can seat up to eight people, or seven with captain's chairs, providing lots of space for families. Lots of tech is available, such as a NissanConnect 9-inch touchscreen display and a 12.3-inch digital dashboard. Comfort comes in the form of leather seats, heated, and cooled front seats, and a heated steering wheel. The Pathfinder also has up to 80.5 cubic feet of cargo space when the back seats are folded down. Also available are a 13-speaker Bose sound system and mood lighting to make the drive more fun and relaxing.

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is provided with all trims of the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder. This includes auto emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot warning, and lane departure warning. On higher-level trims, you can also get ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link. The Pathfinder received high safety scores from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, performing well in crash tests and providing excellent protection with its airbags, safety systems, and LATCH child seat system.
