Why the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum Appeals to Saskatchewan Families
October 29 2025,

For families across Saskatchewan who need a three-row SUV that handles everything from hockey tournaments to weekend lake trips, the 2025 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum delivers refined capability. This premium trim level pairs spacious eight-passenger seating with quilted leather appointments, advanced driver-assist technology, and strong towing capacity—making it a practical choice for Prince Albert families managing busy schedules and seasonal travel demands.
The Pathfinder Platinum stands out in the full-size SUV segment by offering features typically found in luxury vehicles while maintaining the rugged capability Saskatchewan drivers need. From tri-zone automatic climate control that keeps all three rows comfortable during long winter drives to available massaging front seats that ease fatigue on highway stretches, this SUV addresses the real needs of families who spend significant time on the road.
Performance Built for Saskatchewan Roads
The 2025 Pathfinder Platinum is powered by a 3.5 L V6 engine delivering 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. This naturally aspirated engine provides confident highway passing power and smooth acceleration for merging onto major routes like Highway 2 or Highway 3.
Towing capacity reaches 2,722 kg (6,000 lbs), making the Platinum trim capable of hauling travel trailers, fishing boats, or utility trailers to northern lake destinations. Standard Intelligent 4WD adapts to changing road conditions with seven selectable drive modes: Standard, Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand, Mud/Rut, and Tow. This system helps drivers navigate Saskatchewan's variable weather—from winter ice to spring mud to summer gravel roads.
Space That Works for Growing Families
The Platinum trim offers seating for eight passengers across three rows, with semi-aniline leather-appointed seats featuring quilting details. Second-row EZ FLEX seats incorporate Nissan's LATCH AND GLIDE technology, allowing convenient access to the third row even with child safety seats installed.
Cargo capacity adapts to changing family needs:
- 469 litres (16.6 cubic feet) with all seats upright
- 1,274 litres (45.0 cubic feet) with the third row folded
- 2,280 litres (80.5 cubic feet) with second and third rows folded
This flexibility accommodates sports equipment, camping gear, or bulk grocery shopping from Prince Albert stores.
Technology and Comfort Features
The Pathfinder Platinum includes a 12.3-inch TFT meter display and head-up display that projects key driving information onto the windshield. The standard 12.3-inch touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with up to four USB ports keeping devices charged throughout the cabin.
Available Bose 12-speaker premium audio system delivers clear sound quality to all three rows. Tri-zone automatic climate control allows front passengers and rear passengers to set individual temperature preferences—particularly useful during Saskatchewan's temperature extremes. Available massaging front seats offer adjustable settings to reduce fatigue on longer trips to Saskatoon or Regina.
Ambient interior lighting and Bronze Metallic brushed interior trim add premium touches throughout the cabin. The panoramic moonroof extends natural light across the first and second rows.
Standard Safety and Driver-Assist Systems

Every Pathfinder includes Nissan Safety Shield 360, a suite of six safety technologies:
- Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
- Blind Spot Warning
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Lane Departure Warning
- High Beam Assist
- Rear Automatic Braking
The Platinum trim adds ProPILOT Assist with Navi-link, which combines adaptive cruise control with steering assist for highway driving. This system helps reduce driver fatigue during long stretches on Saskatchewan highways. Additional features include Blind Spot Intervention, Intelligent Lane Intervention, and Traffic Sign Recognition.
Intelligent Around View Monitor uses four cameras to provide a 360-degree view around the vehicle, helpful when maneuvering in tight parking spaces or navigating unfamiliar terrain.
