As a three-row midsize SUV, the Pathfinder is geared toward families who need seating for seven and a capable powertrain for daily duties and occasional towing or road trips. For 2017, the Pathfinder received a mid-cycle refresh that gave it a more muscular look, improved power, and subtle upgrades to both its chassis and tech features, making even the entry-level S trim more appealing.Under the hood, the 2017 Pathfinder S benefits from a reworked 3.5-liter V6 engine that now delivers 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque, up from the previous years output. Its paired with a continuously variable transmission (CVT) that has been refined for quicker response and smoother performance. The result is a powertrain that feels stronger and more confident, especially during merging and passing. Front-wheel drive is standard, but all-wheel drive is available as an option, giving drivers more versatility in poor weather or light off-road situations. Fuel economy is respectable for the class, with the FWD model rated at 20 mpg city and 27 mpg highway.Inside, the Pathfinder S offers a no-frills but functional interior. The design is straightforward, with solid materials and a user-friendly layout. Seating for seven is standard, with a second-row bench seat and a third row that's best suited for kids or shorter trips. While the S trim doesnt come with leather or premium features, the cloth upholstery is durable, and the front seats are comfortable for long drives. The rear doors open wide, making access to the second and third rows relatively easy, and the EZ Flex Seating System allows the second row to slide and tilt forward even with a child seat installed, improving third-row access.Technology in the S trim is fairly basic but covers essential needs. It includes a standard 8-inch touchscreen display, Bluetooth hands-free calling and streaming, a six-speaker sound system, and a rearview camera. USB and auxiliary inputs are present, and steering wheel controls make it easier to manage audio or phone functions without distraction. Theres no built-in navigation or advanced safety tech at this level, but the core
