2017 Nissan Pathfinder - Repair Manuals Blog

The 2017 Nissan Pathfinder isn’t different enough to stand out in the competitive three-row SUV category. The Pathfinder is one of the roomiest three-row SUVs on the market. Its new V-6 engine is a great performer, but the interior is old-fashioned, and the controls are unnecessarily complicated. The Nissan Pathfinder receives stylistic improvements, new features, and a new direct-injection V-6 engine that produces immense power for the 2017 model.

Overview of the Car:

There are four trim levels available in the 2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER:

2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER S: The basic model has a 284-horsepower 3.5L V6 engine and many standard features.
2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER SV: The SV trim contains all elements of the S trim plus fog lights, Nissan Intelligent Key, remote engine start, and a rear sonar system.
2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER SL: The SL trim adds additional features to the SV trim: a motion-activated liftgate, around-view monitors, and leather-appointed seats.
2017 NISSAN PATHFINDER Platinum: The Platinum trim contains all of the features of the SL trim plus 20″ aluminum-alloy wheels, LED low-beam projector headlights, Smart Cruise Control, and Forward Emergency Braking.

Performance and Fuel Economy

This year, Nissan’s already potent 3.5-liter V-6 is even more powerful. Firmer suspension settings provide greater control while also stiffening the ride. The 2017 Nissan Pathfinder rides more like a car than a truck, but it can tow a reasonable amount and drive off-road to a certain extent when required. Some 2017 updates make the Pathfinder more powerful and competent. The engine is a 3.5-liter V-6 from Nissan’s VQ series. However, it will get various updates this year to increase power and fuel efficiency. Nissan claims that 57% of its components are brand new.

Exterior, Interior, and Styling

The Nissan Pathfinder received new bumper styling, new headlights, and a restyled grille based on other Nissan vehicles such as the Maxima. While the design is more ornate and detailed than before, it is also close enough to the previous Pathfinder appearance that casual observers may overlook the changes. The visible visual modifications are concentrated in the front. The most noticeable difference in the rear is the use of taillights with mostly red housings.

On the interior, the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder hasn’t altered much. It nonetheless provides competitive material quality, an attractive overall design appearance, and simple controls. One of the few inside upgrades this year is a new touchscreen interface that is larger and has improved visuals and reaction times. It’s one of the most approachable technological interfaces.

Safety Features of the Vehicle

The Nissan Pathfinder achieved the highest rating — good — from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in its crash tests. The SUV obtained a top five-star overall rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. For 2017, forward automatic emergency braking is a new option that is standard on Platinum vehicles. The system obtained the highest rating from the IIHS: superior. The single driver assistance or enhanced safety feature that comes standard is a rearview camera.
