Are you in search of a brand new, mid-size SUV that can conquer the streets of Shelbyville as well as the vast outdoors that Tennessee is well-known for? Then the 2021 Nissan Pathfinder is the right choice for you! This rugged model brings sophistication and tech to the wilderness and power and durability to the city. It’s the perfect fusion of off-roading prowess and urban road manners.
Loaded with state-of-the-art safety systems and infotainment elements, you will want for nothing once you get behind the wheel of the new 2021 Nissan Pathfinder. This family-friendly ride is somewhat of a chameleon, giving you the kind of performance you need when you need it. With available seating for up to seven people, you can bring along the whole clan. There is plenty of space for backpacks and groceries in the back, which measures 16.2 cubic feet with all the seats in use. If you can spare the third row of seating, you can expand the cargo area to 47.8 cubic feet. If you need to optimize the maximum cargo space, then you can fold down both back rows to gain access to 79.5 cubic feet of room. The new Pathfinder is sure to be an exciting addition to the Nissan SUV lineup.
Starting at
If you have been shopping around for a mid-size SUV for a while, then you may have noticed that some have far too many powertrain options. Keeping the stats straight can be confusing, and no one wants to buy the wrong vehicle for their daily driving needs. Luckily, the folks over at Nissan picked a fantastic powertrain that is ideal for both city and off-road driving.
Rumbling under the hood, you will find a robust 3.5-liter V6 motor that generates 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with a smooth-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive, the Pathfinder is perfect for your daily commuting needs. You can even opt for four-wheel drive if you plan on taking the vehicle off the beaten path. To make traveling over rocks and rough terrain a bit easier, the Pathfinder boasts 7-inches of ground clearance. You won’t have to worry about destroying the underbelly when you want to go camping.
This powerful engine can tow up to 6,000 pounds, which is enough to pull a trailer or small camper. While one engine option may seem limiting to some, the Nissan Pathfinder has the perfect engine to handle anything you need your SUV to accomplish. There is more than enough power to shuttle the family around throughout the week and to do some exploration on the weekends.
When it comes to connected features, it seems that more automakers are doing the same thing. They like to add in Bluetooth with some smartphone integration technology and call it a day. With the 2021 Nissan Pathfinder, this is not the case.
Nissan Intelligent Mobility is a next-level infotainment suite that will elevate your entertainment and routing experience with enhanced connectivity features. Compatible with both iPhones and Androids, you can enjoy this immersive technology without disconnecting from the world. Let’s break down some of the best highlights of this suite.
Bluetooth connectivity is practically a given in any new car, and the 2021 Pathfinder is not exempt from this modern necessity. Compatible with all smartphone devices, you can sync your cell to the system wirelessly. This allows you to make and receive calls hands-free. You can even read or send text messages without taking your eyes off the road, and you can stream your playlist. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto enable seamless smartphone integration as well to use apps and music without a hitch.
This suite also includes a surprising 6 USB ports located strategically throughout the cabin. The primary goal of these ports is for multiple passengers to be able to charge their mobile devices whenever they want. The secondary reason for this many ports is to allow passengers to have a turn at controlling the music. That’s right! If you’re on a road trip with your best friends, they can each have a chance to be the DJ.
Now here comes the cool part. Using the NissanConnect Services app, you can gain total control over your vehicle to do things you never thought would be possible. You can start the engine remotely to ensure that the cabin is at the perfect temperature before you get inside. You can also enjoy keyless entry/ignition with the Nissan Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition. You won’t have to waste time fumbling around for your keys. As long as the key fob is on your person, you can hop in and go!
At this point, we’d like to add that NissanConnect Services is powered by SiriusXM. This allows you to select plans and services to add, such as emergency response and customized alerts. It also enables you to use a lot of advanced connectivity features, including Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Let’s look at the emergency response features first. In the event of an accident, your 2021 Nissan Pathfinder will automatically notify emergency services if you have the Automatic Collision Notification service set up. Once the airbags deploy, you won’t have to worry about calling 9-1-1. It is just one touch away, and you can even request Roadside Assistance.
Then we have customizable alerts. You can choose to receive notifications for various factors. These include speed limit, radius, and even curfew. If the Pathfinder goes too fast, too far, or too late, you will be alerted.
Next is Amazon Alexa. Using the NissanConnect Services, you can control several aspects of your Pathfinder using Amazon Alexa. You can use it to lock or unlock your doors, start the engine remotely, or even flash your lights. All you have to do is speak your command to any Alexa built-in device. Controlling your vehicle has never been easier!
Finally, the last connected feature we will cover is the Google Assistant. Using the proper action via NissanConnect Services, you can control your Pathfinder using Google Assistant. Start by saying, “Hey Google, talk to NissanConnect Services” into any synced smartphone device that has the app. You can lock or unlock your doors, remotely start the vehicle, or flash your lights, just like you can with Amazon Alexa. So, no matter which service you prefer to use, you can sync up your phone and commands with your 2021 Pathfinder.
Please note that if you opt for a Pathfinder that has the Nissan Navigation System, you will gain a few other connected features. You can easily search for nearby destinations, gas stations, and restaurants via this innovative system. If you need to plot several points within one route, you can do that too. In fact, you can plot up to four different locations by using the Owner Portal. Finding your way around town has never been easier.
With three rows of seating and a maximum cargo area of 79.5 cubic feet, the spacious interior has plenty of room for cool features. Designed to make life easier, you will find comforts, conveniences, and driving aids inside. Let’s slip behind the wheel and see what’s going on in the cabin.
First, you will notice the tri-zone climate control and entertainment system. While you and the front-seat passenger enjoy listening to tunes, the kids in the back can watch shows, play video games, and even hook up a laptop. With two 8-inch monitors in the back and wireless headsets, your children will keep busy during the entire ride. If they want to sync their tablets or smartphones to the monitors, they can do it using the HDMI inputs. What’s even better is that you can control what’s going on in the back via the touchscreen interface located on your dash.
Depending on which trim level you choose, you can enjoy a high-quality listening experience via the 13-speaker Bose stereo system. Featuring Acoustic Waveguide Technology, this sound system delivers crisp highs and rich bass notes. You will want to take the scenic route home so you can jam out to your favorite songs in your Pathfinder from now on.
Driving aids may include turn-by-turn navigation to help you get to your destination faster. Meanwhile, blindspot monitoring will alert you if another vehicle comes up to your side. The tire pressure monitoring system keeps tabs on the air inside your tires and alerts you when they need to be re-inflated. Finally, the rear door alert will ensure that you don't forget anything (or anyone) in the back of the vehicle.
