The Nissan Pathfinder is prepared for anything around Minneapolis. This three-row SUV could be a practical choice if you're looking for a spacious vehicle. Solid and capable, it gives you the freedom to venture out into harsh conditions and keeps you safe and comfortable.

Performance

The Nissan Pathfinder has a 3.5-liter V6 engine, which gives it plenty of power. Most trims at Eden Prairie Nissan make up to 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque, and they can be set up with front-wheel or four-wheel drive. The special Rock Creek trim uses that same engine type, but it's been adjusted to generate 295 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. In addition, Rock Creek comes standard with four-wheel drive, all-terrain tires, and an off-road-tuned suspension. For this reason, it might be the best option if you plan on heading into tough terrain. The other trims do well when faced with challenges. They're available with different driving modes that let you optimize performance according to your conditions. Driving modes include Snow, Rain, Sand, and Dirt.

You can let the Nissan Pathfinder handle the job if you have heavier cargo to tow around Minnetonka. It's able to tow up to 6,000 pounds. When towing a trailer, the Trailer Sway Control program can help with stability, and the available Tow driving mode comes with a Downhill Speed Control program.

Interior

Before you head out on your adventures, load up the cabin with passengers and cargo. Some Nissan Pathfinder vehicles have seating for up to eight people, while others have room for up to seven because they have captain's chairs in their middle rows. You'll benefit from EZ Flex second-row seats regardless of your seating configuration. These seats can slide and tilt forward to make it easier for third-row passengers to get in and out of the cabin. To maximize cargo capacity, lower the second- and third-row seats. This would give you more than 80 cubic feet of cargo space.

The Nissan Pathfinder offers a generous amount of passenger room, and the tri-zone automatic climate control system will keep everyone comfortable. Some trims have heated front seats, and the higher-end trims can come with heated and cooled front seats, heated second-row seats, and heated steering wheels. Seating upholstery ranges from cloth to semi-aniline leather, and the available power-adjustable driver's seat can have a memory function. Suppose a Nissan Pathfinder has a memory function for its driver's seat. In that case, it will also move its side mirrors and the power-adjustable steering column into optimal positions.

Technology

When you're enjoying the ride in a Nissan Pathfinder, you can use the infotainment system to access information and stay entertained. This SUV has an eight-inch touchscreen with voice recognition, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, SiriusXM, and Bluetooth. A nine-inch touchscreen is found on select models, and this larger display comes standard with integrated navigation and a program that can keep you updated about current traffic conditions. Conveniently, this Nissan offers multiple USB charging ports. The standard package consists of four USB ports, and there can be six total USB ports and a wireless charging pad in the cabin.

Safety

The Nissan Pathfinder could be smart because it has advanced safety systems. Thanks to systems like forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and blind spot warning, it will notify you about potential problems. The Nissan Pathfinder will also help Eden Prairie drivers slow down and correct their steering whenever necessary. It's nice knowing a vehicle can work hard on your behalf.
