2018 Nissan Pathfinder Makes a Strong Debut with New Safety Features
The 2018 Nissan Pathfinder is a three-row crossover SUV. Substantial updates have been made to the 2017 model. These include a more powerful engine, revised steering and suspension, front and rear redesign and a larger touchscreen. Unlike the previous generations of the Pathfinder, this model features a standard front-wheel drive and an optional all-wheel drive.
Every generation of the Pathfinder has been substantially different than the last. Following that pattern, the 2018 Pathfinder has been successfully carrying forward Nissan’s tradition of evolving with the changing times. Chief among the changes is the increased muscularity. The design is much more masculine but the revised V6 engine makes the real difference. This Pathfinder also gives a more controlled driving experience owing to its revised suspension and steering.
Four trim levels — S, SV, SL and Platinum — of the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder are available at car dealerships. Every 2018 Nissan Pathfinder comes standard with a 3.5-liter V6 engine that produces 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT) and front-wheel drive are standard, but an all-wheel-drive system that includes a four-wheel lock function and hill-descent control is optional.
The interior of the 2018 Pathfinder features an appealing design and easy to use controls. The improvised touch screen is bigger and features better graphics and responses than its predecessor. Both the front and back seats offer ample amount of space and comfort. The second-row slides much farther forward for a more convenient third row access, a luxury that most cars for sale by dealers fail to provide.

- Safety Features
The 2018 Nissan Pathfinder has entered in the market with some groundbreaking safety features which makes it a popular face among the other cars for sale by dealers. Automatic Emergency Braking and Intelligent Cruise Control come as a standard feature in this crossover SUV. The emergency braking system provides visual and audio alerts if a potential collision is detected and if the driver does not respond in time, brakes are applied automatically. In addition, the Pathfinder features a Rear Door Alert System which includes sensors that remind the driver to double check the rear seat for any items that may have been overlooked, from groceries to pets and children. If the system detects that the rear door was opened prior to driving but was not opened at the end of the trip, then the system beeps to remind the driver that he may have left something behind. The system also displays a reminder on the instrument cluster behind the steering wheel, so that the driver can check the rear seat even before leaving his seat.
The Midnight Edition Package is now available on the SL trims in addition to the Platinum models. Featuring black accents throughout, the Midnight Edition is available in magnetic black, gun metallic, and pearl white colors at the Nissan car dealerships.
The 2018 Nissan Pathfinder is perfect for urban drivers as its car-based underpinnings make the car easy to maneuver. The interior provides a comfortable environment with ample space in all three rows. In a nutshell, the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder with its versatility and functionality is a promising and family-friendly Crossover SUV.
