The latest edition of the Nissan Pathfinder throws in even more standard features, including driver-assist technologies that boost safety and convenience. The 2018 model adds standard radar cruise control that automatically adjusts following distance and Automatic Emergency Braking which warns drivers of impending accidents and can assist in applying brake pressure if the driver does not respond. Also newly available for 2018 is a Rear Door Alert system that'll warn you when you may have forgotten something in the backseat.

If you purchase or lease a 2018 Nissan Pathfinder SL in the Phoenix area, you can look forward to NissanConnect with Navigation and Services, which is now standard on the model. You can also opt for an SL Midnight Edition. Previously only offered on the Pathfinder Platinum, the Midnight Edition is a great choice if you want an edgy look, which is achieved with 20-inch Midnight Edition aluminum-alloy wheels, black mirror caps and a black spoiler.

Protecting You on Every Path

Pathfinder won a Top Safety Pick award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety last year and it's anticipated that the 2018 Pathfinder will earn the same honor. Along with receiving excellent ratings in IIHS crash tests, the SUV's front collision avoidance technology--Automatic Emergency Braking--also received good scores.

In addition to this technology, the Nissan Pathfinder is equipped with several other safety features that offer great protection, including Zone Body construction with crumple zones up front and in back, steel side-door guard beams, Vehicle Dynamic Control with Traction Control System, tire pressure monitoring and the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System, among other equipment.
