The 2024 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum is a beautiful SUV with big shoulders that starts at $48,290.

A proven and responsive 3.5-liter direct-injection V6 engine provides 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque in Pathfinder. Coupled to a 9-speed automatic transmission, its powertrain provides strong, confident acceleration. The Pathfinder Platinum delivers 22 miles per gallon and 25 miles per gallon on the highway. Idle stop/start helps save fuel by shutting off the engine when stationary, such as waiting at a traffic light.

While every 2024 Nissan Pathfinder features a high level of standard equipment, the Platinum grade elevates the family SUV with unexpected premium materials and features. Eye-catching touches include 20-inch alloy wheels, chrome side sills, a premium leather steering wheel, ambient interior lighting, bronze metallic brushed interior trim and semi-aniline leather-appointed seating with quilted inserts.

Advanced technology helps the driver with great tools including a 12.3-inch full-color meter display, head-up display, Bose 13-speaker premium audio system and a motion-activated power liftgate.

Every Pathfinder features standard Nissan “safety shield 360, a suite of technologies that includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, high beam assist and rear automatic braking.

Additional technology includes standard intelligent driver alertness, rear door alert and rear sonar sensors, plus available driver-assistance features include blind spot intervention, front sonar sensors and traffic sign recognition.

The Pathfinder Platinum also treats owners and passengers to a panoramic moonroof, heated rear seats, climate-controlled front seats and a 120-volt power outlet for the second row.

As for confidence on the road, available intelligent 4WD provides even greater driving performance on a variety of surfaces. The system features a drive and terrain mode switch that helps optimize power delivery depending on the situation, with seven available modes: standard, sport, eco, snow, sand, mud/rut and tow.

Pathfinder is packed with features to keep drivers informed and all passengers entertained. A 7-inch digital meter display is standard, while a 12.3-inch full-color digital dashboard and a 10.8-inch head-up display are available. For music, phone connectivity and more, a standard 8-inch or available 9-inch touchscreen features standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Pathfinder Platinum adds wireless Apple CarPlay and a wireless device charger. A Bose 13-speaker premium audio system is also standard on Platinum.

The Pathfinder provides impressive interior space, with three rows of seats and standard seating for eight (seven with optional second-row captain’s chairs). The “ez flex” second-row seats conveniently tip forward to provide access to the third row, even while a child safety seat is installed.

Pathfinder’s cargo area generously provides 16.6 cubic feet of storage with all rows of seats upright, expanding to 80.5 cubic feet with the second and third rows lowered. A power liftgate is available on SV and standard on SL, while Platinum adds a motion-activated power liftgate.
