2022 Nissan Pathfinder Review

The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder may have an all-new look, but its performance is still driven by the tried-and-true V6 engine that you know and love. It cranks out 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque, so you can tow up to 6,000 pounds when the model is properly equipped.¹ That’ll let you pull your boat out to the lake for a fun family getaway.

That begs the question: What’s new with the performance of the Pathfinder? That would be a 9-speed automatic transmission. It’s specially designed to provide swift and smooth shifting for a more comfortable and efficient ride.

There’s also an available Intelligent 4x4 system. It will keep you forging ahead on rough terrain and slick roads, so you can chart a new path to your favorite campsite. It comes with a Drive and Terrain Mode dial selector that includes seven drive modes to choose from based on your driving conditions. Dial in the one that matches the path ahead and watch this SUV meet its demands.

In an SUV as capable as this one, you’ll need plenty of room to bring along your fellow explorers. That’s why there is seating for up to eight in the Nissan Pathfinder. Everyone camping out in the third row can jump right in, thanks to the EZ FLEX® second-row seats.

The optional 9-inch touchscreen display is your very own command center. It gives you control over all the infotainment technologies available with the 2022 Pathfinder, including:

• Apple CarPlay®
• Android Auto™
• SiriusXM®
• Nissan Door to Door Navigation

When it’s time for a family singalong, crank up the volume on the available 13-speaker Bose® Premium Audio System. If everyone’s winding down for the night instead, put on some soothing beats and open up the available panoramic moonroof to give them a better view of the constellations.

The Nissan Pathfinder does more than just inspire confidence out on the trails. It also acts as an extra set of eyes in the concrete jungle. It comes standard with Safety Shield® 360, which includes the following:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
• Rear Automatic Braking
• Rear Cross Traffic Alert
• Blind Spot Warning
• Lane Departure Warning
• High Beam Assist

You probably already feel right at home on an off-road path, and the 2022 Pathfinder will make you feel even more comfortable when you’re out on the open highway. Its available ProPILOT Assist will help you maintain a set speed while also keeping a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead.

Available Intelligent Lane Intervention will help put your mind at ease behind the wheel of this SUV. If you begin to stray out of your lane, it can gently tap the brakes to guide you back to the center.
