2016 Nissan Pathfinder SL

The 2016 Nissan Pathfinder is a three-row, seven-passenger midsize crossover SUV that offers car-like handling and a comfortable ride. It provides ample interior room and a standard V6 engine, but its continuously variable transmission (CVT) and limited advanced safety features are common concerns.
Performance and fuel economy
The 2016 Pathfinder offers solid performance for daily driving but may not have as much power as some competitors.
Engine: All models have a 3.5-liter V6 engine, producing 260 horsepower and 240 pound-feet of torque.
Transmission: A continuously variable transmission (CVT) comes standard. Some owners have noted vibration issues.
Drivetrain: Standard front-wheel drive (FWD) or optional All-Mode 4x4-i intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD) are available.
Towing: When properly equipped, it can tow up to 5,000 pounds.
Fuel economy: EPA estimates for FWD models are 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway. AWD models get 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway.
Safety ratings and features
The 2016 Pathfinder received high crash-test scores but lacks advanced driver-assistance systems that were becoming standard at the time.
Overall safety: It earned a 5-Star Overall Safety Score from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
IIHS crashworthiness: The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) gave it the top "Good" rating in multiple crashworthiness categories, including the moderate-overlap front, side-impact, and roof-strength tests.
Standard safety: Standard features include anti-lock brakes, stability control, and a full suite of airbags.
Available safety: Higher trims (SL and Platinum) offer a blind-spot warning system, rear cross-traffic alert, and a rearview monitor. A 360-degree Around View monitor is standard on the Platinum and optional on the SL.
Absent technology: Modern safety features like adaptive cruise control and forward collision warning were not available.
Interior and technology
The Pathfinder's interior is known for its premium feel and versatile seating, though some of its tech features lag behind competitors.
Spacious cabin: The 3-row layout seats seven passengers, with second-row seats that slide and recline for increased comfort or easy third-row access.
Cargo capacity: Cargo space is a modest 16 cubic feet with all seats in place, expanding to 79.8 cubic feet with the rear rows folded.
Technology:
Base (S) trim: The entry-level model lacks Bluetooth connectivity.
Upgraded tech: The SV or higher trims add a rearview camera, a larger infotainment display, and Bluetooth hands-free phone support. The Platinum trim includes a navigation system, premium Bose audio, and a dual-panel panoramic moonroof.
Infotainment interface: Edmunds notes that the touchscreen is user-friendly, but the technology feels outdated compared to rivals like the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander.
