The annual “12 Best Family Cars of 2017” list from Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com has been released and the 2017 Nissan Pathfinder earned a spot for the fourth year in a row. Each year KBB.com editors put this list together by determining which models available in the market today offer features and capabilities that “best meet the needs of today’s families.”
“In a 3-row SUV like Pathfinder, access to the last row is critical in everyday use, both getting in and out of and negotiating around a child seat in the 2nd row,” said Dan Mohnke, vice president, Nissan Chief Marketing Manager & Marketing Operations. “Our innovative 2nd row seat system, which tilts forward with a child seat still in place1, gives Pathfinder a big advantage over other 3-row designs, even before shoppers get behind the wheel for a test drive.”
Two specific factors of the 2017 Pathfinder that editors were especially impressed with included its engine and EZ Flex Seating System™ with LATCH AND GLIDE™. This vehicle comes equipped with a 284 horsepower 3.5-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) V6 Engine that, when properly equipped, offer a class-leading max towing capacity of 6,000-pounds. The EZ Flex Seating System™ with LATCH AND GLIDE™ is ideal for loading and unloading families as it makes it easier to access the third row with a child safety seat installed thanks to the second row tilt and glide seat.
