2025 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum: The Best & Last V-6 Midsize SUV

Car Confections is hitting us with another incredible up-close look at a great ride. This time, it’s the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum—and there’s one big reason this SUV stands out. It’s one of the last midsize SUVs with a V-6 engine.

While rivals are downsizing to turbocharged four-cylinders, the Pathfinder holds the line with its legendary 3.5L V-6, offering smooth power, solid towing capacity, and reliability that turbo engines can only dream of. If you’re looking for a three-row SUV with real muscle, this might be your last chance to get a V-6 that won’t let you down.

The V-6 Lives On (For Now)

Other brands are going smaller. Nissan is staying bold and confident. If you want proven power under the hood, this might be your last chance to get it in a midsize three-row SUV.

Nissan could have followed Infiniti’s lead and swapped the Pathfinder’s 3.5L V-6 for a smaller turbo engine. But they didn’t. And that’s a huge deal.

  • 284 horsepower & 259 lb-ft of torque: Enough to handle highways, towing, and daily driving with ease.
  • 9-speed automatic transmission: No sluggish CVTs here. Just crisp, smooth shifting.
  • 6,000 lbs of towing capacity: Looking for brute strength? The Pathfinder Platinum delivers. You get an impressive 1,000 lbs more than many competitors.

A High-End Look That Turns Heads

The Pathfinder Platinum doesn’t just drive like a premium SUV—it looks like one, too. In the Platinum trim, every detail is refined and upscale—perfect for standing out in New Port Richey traffic.

  • Signature V-Motion grille with bold chrome accents
  • Sleek LED headlights with a modern, aggressive stance
  • 20-inch alloy wheels for a commanding presence
  • Two-tone paint options for a sophisticated touch

An Interior That Feels Like First Class

Nissan didn’t just make the Pathfinder strong—they made it luxurious. Step inside the Platinum trim, and notice all the details:

  • Gorgeous Chestnut Semi-Aniline Leather: It’s soft, quilted, and ultra-premium.
  • Heated & Ventilated Front Seats: Florida summers demand this kind of comfort.
  • 3-inch Digital Gauge Cluster & Head-Up Display: High-tech, high-style, and easy to read—you’re going to love Acura’s upgraded display.
  • 13-Speaker Bose Premium Audio: Enjoy concert-quality sound on every drive.

Packed with Advanced Safety & Tech

A powerful SUV is great. A powerful SUV that keeps you safe? Even better. The 2025 Pathfinder Platinum is stacked with Nissan’s best safety features, including:

  • ProPILOT Assist: Intelligent cruise control that helps steer and slow down in traffic.
  • Blind Spot Monitoring & Rear Cross-Traffic Alert: You won’t have to worry about pulling out of parking spaces again.
  • Lane Keeping Assist & Automatic Emergency Braking: Extra protection when you need it.
  • Surround-View Camera System: Makes parking this SUV shockingly easy.
