2017 Nissan Pathfinder S PLATINUM

This 2017 Nissan Pathfinder S presents a balanced blend of family-friendly interior space, a robust V6 powerplant, and straightforward equipment that emphasizes utility and durability. Finished in Black on the exterior with a Black cloth interior, this particular example is in excellent overall condition and shows well both inside and out.

Powertrain and driving character
Under the hood is Nissan’s 3.5-liter DOHC V6 that produces 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with Nissan’s Xtronic continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT), which is tuned to provide smooth, linear acceleration and to maximize efficiency under cruising conditions. Fuel economy for this configuration is rated at approximately 19 MPG in the city and 26 MPG on the highway, offering a solid balance of performance and economy for a three-row crossover of this size. The drivetrain is engineered to deliver predictable on-road manners, with enough low-end torque for confident passing and highway merging. When properly equipped, Pathfinders with the V6 are also capable of towing light trailers and recreational equipment, making the vehicle versatile for everyday driving and occasional hauling needs.

Exterior
The exterior in Black projects a practical, understated look. Factory exterior features for the S trim typically include body-color bumpers and door handles, halogen headlamps, and power-adjustable side mirrors. The design emphasizes a broad, stable stance with a sculpted hood and a relatively low coefficient of drag for its class. Standard wheels are alloy designs that combine durability with a refined visual appearance, wrapped in all-season tires to suit varied driving conditions. Roof rails are typically included or available for added cargo versatility. Overall, the exterior equipment focuses on long-term dependability and functional styling.

Interior and comfort
Inside, the Black cloth upholstery provides a durable and comfortable seating surface that resists staining and wear. The S trim is configured to seat up to seven occupants across three rows, with a 2-3-2 layout that includes a second-row bench and a foldable third row. Seating configurations are flexible: the second and third rows fold to expand cargo capacity when needed, allowing the Pathfinder to adapt between passenger transport and carrying larger loads. The driver’s area is ergonomically organized with a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, straightforward gauges, and easy-to-reach controls.

Comfort and convenience features that come from the factory typically include power windows and door locks, remote keyless entry, cruise control, and a center console with storage and cupholders. Multi-zone climate controls (designed to keep front and rear occupants comfortable) and a rear-seat ventilation system help maintain passenger comfort for all three rows. Ample storage compartments, door pockets, and a practical cargo floor make day-to-day organization simple.

Technology and connectivity
Factory-installed infotainment for the S trim centers on a user-focused interface with an integrated display. Standard connectivity features include Bluetooth hands-free phone and audio streaming, USB and auxiliary inputs for device connections, and steering-wheel-mounted audio controls for safer operation while driving. The audio system provides clear sound tailored for cabin acoustics. A rearview camera is a standard safety/parking aid, and the cabin layout places controls in intuitive locations for ease of use.

Safety and driver assistance
Safety equipment from the factory includes a full complement of airbags (front, front-side and full-length curtain airbags that extend to the third row), anti-lock brakes (ABS) with electronic brake-force distribution, and vehicle dynamic control systems such as traction control and stability control to help maintain composure in varied road conditions. The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) and child-seat LATCH anchors are also
