Performance & Capability

Under the hood of this 2018 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum lies a robust 3.5L V-6 gasoline direct injection engine, a powerhouse that delivers an impressive 284HP. This DOHC engine, featuring variable valve control, provides a smooth and responsive power delivery that is essential for navigating the varied terrain found around Calcutta, OH. Whether you are accelerating onto the highway or climbing the gentle grades of the local landscape, the V6 configuration ensures you have ample power at your disposal. The engine is constructed with an Aluminum engine block and cylinder heads, promoting efficiency and durability through advanced thermal management.

The driving experience is further refined by the CVT with Xtronic transmission. This continuously variable transmission is designed for seamless transitions, eliminating the shift shock found in traditional automatics and providing a linear acceleration curve that enhances passenger comfort. To ensure long-term reliability under various conditions, the vehicle is equipped with a Transmission oil cooler and electronic control systems. Drivers can also take advantage of the Selectable mode transmission and Lock-up transmission features, which allow for a more tailored driving feel depending on the road conditions and personal preference.

Capability is a core attribute of the Pathfinder Platinum, featuring an advanced Four Wheel Drive system. Specifically, the All-Mode 4x4-i part and full-time 4WD allows you to adapt to changing weather or road surfaces with the turn of a dial. This system is complemented by a Four wheel independent suspension setup, utilizing a Strut front suspension and a Multi-link rear suspension. This combination ensures that the vehicle remains composed and comfortable, soaking up road imperfections while maintaining precise handling. With Speed sensitive power steering and Gas-pressurized shock absorbers, the Pathfinder offers a level of maneuverability and ride quality that is truly exceptional for a vehicle of its size.

At the heart of the cockpit is an 8 inch primary display featuring a high-resolution touchscreen. This interface serves as the gateway to the Integrated navigation system with voice activation, ensuring that you can find your destination with ease while keeping your hands on the wheel. The inclusion of Voice activated audio controls further enhances this hands-free experience, allowing you to manage your media and navigation through simple vocal commands.

Audiophiles will appreciate the Radio: Bose Premium Audio w/AM/FM/CD & 13 Speakers. This system has been custom-tuned for the Pathfinder's interior acoustics, providing a rich, immersive soundstage that transforms the cabin into a private concert hall. Whether you are listening to a podcast or your favorite symphony, the Digital signal processor and 13 Speakers deliver crystal-clear audio quality.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is paramount in the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum, which comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies. The Intelligent Cruise Control (ICC) acts as a sophisticated partner on the highway, automatically adjusting your speed to maintain a safe following distance from the vehicle ahead. This is paired with Forward Emergency Braking (FEB), a forward collision mitigation system that can alert the driver to potential hazards and even apply the brakes to help avoid or lessen the impact of a collision.

Navigating tight spaces and parking lots is made simple with the Intelligent Around View Monitor (I-AVM). This system uses a Front mounted camera, Left side camera, Right side camera, and a Rear mounted camera to provide a 360-degree Aerial view of the vehicle's surroundings. Combined with Rear Parking Sensors, this technology provides unparalleled visibility and confidence when maneuvering in crowded areas. The Blind Spot Warning (BSW) system further enhances safety by monitoring your blind spots and alerting you to vehicles you might not otherwise see.
