Nissan has announced the 2018 Pathfinder will be
priced from $30,790 when it goes on sale in the United States later this week.
This year's changes are
relatively minor and include a newly standard automatic emergency braking
system as well as a rear door alert system, which reminds parents not to forget
their children in the rear seats.
The crossover also gains four new USB ports and an
updated color palette (Scarlet Ember and Midnight Pine). The US$ 37,500 Pathfinder
SL goes even further as it gains a standard Intelligent Cruise Control system
and a Nissan Connect infotainment system with GPS navigation.
The model can also be equipped with a Midnight
Edition package that includes a black grille surround, black mirror caps, and
20-inch aluminum wheels with a black finish. The package also adds black
badging, a black rear spoiler, and illuminated sill plates.
Under the hood, there's a 3.5-liter V6 engine that
produces 284 hp and 350 Nm of torque. It is connected to
an Xtronic continuously variable transmission which can be paired to an
optional all-wheel drive system.
