Nissan Pathfinder: Named One of the "Best Family Cars"

For two years in a row, the 2015 Nissan Pathfinder was awarded one of the “Best Family Cars” by Kelley Blue Book’s KBB.com. The editors recently selected the Pathfinder to the list for several key features including its spaciousness, refinement and handling, and easy access.


Kelley Blue Book’s annual Best Family Cars list was created to detail how well America’s top family vehicles can withstand their daily routine. This year, the editors at KBB.com rigorously tested 23 of the “latest and greatest vehicles” to determine the 15 Best Family Cars. The 2015 Pathfinder was only one of two midsize SUVs to make the list.


“Completely redesigned just two years ago, 2015 Pathfinder retains its core values of fun, utility and fresh style while also adding a number of exciting enhancements beneficial for the whole family,” said Dan Mohnke, vice president, Nissan Chief Marketing Manager & Marketing Operations. “With plenty of cargo space and interior room, and a smooth ride with solid handling, the 2015 Pathfinder is a classic ‘family-first’ vehicle, and we’re elated to once again be included among Kelley Blue Book’s Best Family Cars.”
