Kelley Blue Book Names Nissan Pathfinder One of the Best Family Cars of 2016

The 2016 Nissan Pathfinder has been named one of Kelley Blue Book’s “16 Best Family Cars of 2016” for the third year in a row. KBB extensively evaluates several vehicles for two weeks before announcing their decisions. They were especially impressed by the Pathfinder’s Around View® Monitor as well as their hassle-free EZ Flex Seating System™ with LATCH AND GLIDE™ system that makes child seat issues obsolete. "When we launched the totally redesigned Pathfinder in 2013 as a 3-row/7-passenger model, we knew it was an ideal vehicle for what we call everyday family adventures," said Dan Mohnke, vice president, Nissan Chief Marketing Manager & Marketing Operations.
