A Look at the Pathfinder: Space, Comfort, and Style

Step into the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder SL cabin, and you’ll immediately feel the spaciousness. With generous legroom and headroom, passengers can relax, even on those long drives through Muskoka.

In the Platinum, luxury meets functionality with quilted leather-appointed seats that wrap you in comfort. It offers the exact expansive interior dimensions but elevates the experience with finer materials and finishes.

Both models shine in cargo space, offering a substantial 2,280 litres with the rear seats folded. Whether it’s a weekend camping trip or loading up for a road trip, neither the SL nor the Platinum will let you down regarding practicality.

On the outside, the SL exudes quiet confidence with its 18-inch machined alloy wheels and clean lines. The Platinum, on the other hand, asserts itself with 20-inch machine-finished wheels and chrome accents.

Each trim offers a different visual approach—refined and subtle in the SL, while the Platinum leans into its more aggressive, premium look.

Path to Power: Performance that Speaks to You

Beneath the SL and Platinum hood is a capable 3.5-litre V6 engine, ready to unleash 284 horsepower on demand. The power ensures you can tow up to 6,000 pounds with confidence. Whether you’re hauling your boat or trailer, the Pathfinder doesn’t hesitate to deliver the muscle you need.

With 259 lb-ft of torque, both trims ensure smooth acceleration and responsive handling, giving you control in every driving scenario. However, the Platinum adds hill descent control, enhancing its ability to easily tackle challenging terrain, perfect for the adventurer who craves more out of their drive.

Connected Path: Technology to Keep You Engaged

The Pathfinder SL offers drivers a balance of simplicity and technology, with a 9-inch colour display with multi-touch control providing easy access to navigation, Bluetooth, and smartphone integration. It’s a no-nonsense setup that’s intuitive and efficient.

The Platinum takes connectivity to a new level, offering a more immersive tech experience. The Platinum’s 12-speaker Bose audio system wraps you in high-quality sound, turning your favourite playlists into an experience, not just background noise.

Meanwhile, the SL’s six-speaker system does the job clearly without the extra finesse that audiophiles might crave.

Confidence Behind the Wheel

Nissan’s commitment to safety is apparent in both trims, but the Platinum takes it further with advanced features. The SL gives you Nissan’s Safety Shield 360, equipping you with essentials like blind-spot warning, rear cross-traffic alert, and automatic emergency braking—keeping you protected from unexpected moments.

Platinum’s ProPILOT Assist makes every highway drive more manageable with adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping support for those who want more hands-on assistance. Parking gets easier, too, with its surround-view monitor and front and rear sonar systems.
