This is so much better than the previous model. The styling is great. The practicality of the interior features are definitely everyday and family friendly. The pricing is reasonable. Not to mention the mpg is competitive. The only complaint I can see is the infotainment/tech that does seems to be slower than it’s competitors.
Lol is it Me or is Evie getting pretty punchy with her automotive standards quips and comparisons? The confidence of knowledge is coming through very clearly. Micah, you might be able to take some videos off soon enough :) lol even your daughter doing the elbows up!? You're in trouble. Ps. I don't think you're getting a Go Pro sponsorship anytime soon.
I’ll take this over the Telluride simply because of its towing capacity. Ruggedness /capability is more important than some family speaker interaction audio. Reality over gimmicky!
This vehicle might be more rugged (although there isn't really evidence of that), but it does have a lot more gloss black. The main reason I would pick this over the Telluride/Palisade is that Nissan usually has a lot of dealer incentives and it has slightly better fuel economy
I think it’s to save money but also when you’re out of warranty sure would suck to have to pay about $1000 for a whole new headlight, whenever it’s only your turn signal that went out.
@@NissanAltimaGuy the turn signals in the lower models (such as the model in the video) are bulbs. Led bulbs are extremely cheap. Led light bars are a completely different story. Most of those are lit via a chip and are little more expensive. Now the expense to replace both types depends on what the stealership charges for labor and parts, and how unnecessarily complicated the manufacturer designs the housing. Doesn't change the fact the led bulbs are cheap for manufacturers to provide.
I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 224,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.
Never ever have been a nissan fan or even considered buying one for my growing family, but they have my attention now. I will definitely be taking a closer look at this!
Take a look at a 2021 Rogue. The new ones are the best selling SUV in America. It's a beautiful car. Actually any nissan 2020 and newer will make you think twice.
Synopsis: The 2022 Pathfinder plays it safe when other car manufacturers are playing fast and loose. Sure, it may not bring anything innovative to the table, but for 99% of your drive, you just want things to work and hope that the latest and greatest "feature" isn't a ploy by R&D for something marketable down the road.
I think I like it, especially with the powertrain combination. V6 with a 9-speed sounds perfect. I would have also preferred the newer Rogue but it has a cvt and less than 200 hp. Boo boo.
Nissan has really step up there game with this pathfinder. Getting rid of the CVT was the smartest idea yet. The murano is well overdue for a redesign.
I think the new Pathfinder looks great, inside and out, and I really like your tester's blue paint. I hope you can do a test of the new Mitsubishi Outlander for comparison. I saw a new Outlander parked across the street last night, and I must say it looks to be a vastly better, higher quality vehicle. The silver paint looked awesome as well, like it belonged on a much more expensive vehicle. Good things are happening. Now we just need the manufacturers to stop using shiny black plastic (my pet peeve as well). I hope GoPro knows about their overheating issues, since this is not good advertising for their cameras 😟
Few have their taste think looks better than ongoing model. I never planned buying a Pathfinder as did like every generation now fifth generation is on my list. I have been driving a SUV for 6 years it's a Nissan. When get ready buy my Pathfinder going with the Platinum with light gray or Chestnut interior. So happy doesn't have a CVT anymore added a 9 speed automatic like the new logo. Think it's a beautiful vehicle perfect for family or someone wants a bigger car as me ever decide go fishing be perfect car towing my boat or traveling using RV nice hauling, love the styling even rear is gorgeous.
Got some really good running shots. That blue is 👌🏾. Overall, it seems like the new Pathfinder is just GOOD, in a good way if that makes sense. Even though it doesn’t check all of the boxes, it checks the most important ones and leaves the gimmicks alone. Good solid styling but nothing over the top and it will age well. And the interior is really practical and well laid out with a high dose of quality materials. But there is a lot of piano black plastic.
Serious question..do u think the AC wasn't getting cool enough in the cabin that's why GO Pro was over heating..? I have seen other reviews that talk about AC not getting cold enough IN the 2022 Pathfinder...
Maybe if you direct the AC output to the defog registers rather than the dashboard registers the GoPros on the windshield would be in the line of fire and not overheat? They probably bake in the sun up there.
I have the 2016 pathfinder SL beautiful car I love it but this model dame Its so beautiful I can't resist to say this is the most beautiful looking nissan inside out.
I went to a local auto show this past weekend. I was really pretty certain on an RDX as our next purchase, but once I saw the Pathfinder, at $47k, and the additional space it has, it kind of threw a wrench in my RDX plans. Really loving this car. I came back to look at it 3 times throughout the show.
Family reviews matter! I really like the new Pathfinder. If I were in the market looking for a Mid-Size SUV this would be my first choice. BUT! I already have the R52 Pathfinder platinum and it is solid, if it’s keep well maintained.. 😊
Is it just me or is your daughter getting taller with every video. Its been really enjoyable to watch her grow up and give more input over the last couple years. Another great review from a great family!
This is the best style 7 seater. I am not sure how the transmission is, as I keep on hearing the previous vehicle had transmission issue. But other than that, I would prefer it over other similiar vehicles
I'm hearing these are selling well already. Like some, I wish they returned to a body on frame with primary drive to the rear wheels with a real 4WD option. That would be truly going back to the heritage of the Pathfinder. This is NOT returning to that and is not truck based as this video says in the beginning of the video. This is a unibody with FWD. Just like the majority of SUV's in the segment. Having said that, I will admit that most customers won't care about any of that. And most will not take this offroad. Most want a nice ride and updated electronics. And this gives you all that plus one of the best interiors in the segment. Still Nissan has a void in their fleet. They desperately need a mid level SUV that offers 4WD with body on frame with better ground clearance. There is still a big market for that. Just look at Toyota's 4 runner. They still sell extremely well and they get full MSRP or even more for those. Hoping Nissan imports their new X-terra from overseas. They really need to do that.
Our 04 R50 was unstoppable. Taco bell curbs, things on the highway, it ran over everything, but had difficulty passing a gas station. Still sad we departed with it after 13 years and this "new" Pathfinder is a welcome sight and has the potential to put a Nissan back in the garage
First of all, thank you for such a great review on this vehicle Micah! I've been a fan of yours ever since I started watching the Kelly Blue Book videos on RU-vid! Oh, and of course, I'm a fan of Lyn and the rest of the crew as well! 😁 But, yeah, the 2022 Pathfinder is a pretty darn good SUV as far as I'm concerned. I drove a 2019 Pathfinder, which wasn't too bad at all itself, but the 2022 Pathfinder is a different animal! I feel that there's still some room here and there for improvements, but overall, it's pretty good! Thank you always Micah!
@@JulezWinnfield point proven. Why wouldn't you just have the Honda pilot or high lander? Also name me another nissan pathfinder reference in popular culture?
Love it! It’s very well done. Just missing Full LED lighting interior & exterior. I’m sure they did that intentionally. So in a few new model changes they can add it. So you will want to upgrade. Common practice by manufacturers
Other reviews say it drives and feels like a truck and u feel every bump on the road. How can that be a comfortable family hauler especially on road trips? It’s too bad cuz the exterior/interior styling is so nice.
So much better than the older version, but it's still Nissan boring. The company has been losing money and may not exist in a few years according to Carlos Ghosn. I'd go with Telluride.
This seems SO MUCH better than the new weirdly amalgamated, imitation vanilla Highlander that achieves less than the sum of its parts. Highlander: It's smooth, laxative smooth.
The color grading on this video is doesn't match the time/energy of Micah. It's drury and he's a ball of energy. That mismatch is bothering me and I've officially watched too much RU-vid.
Just finished watching your Subaru Ascent video and then watched this pathfinder video. Immediately I notice it looks like the front row/seating space is huge compared to the Ascent. Like you are sitting on thrones, laid back, etc rather than the Subaru Ascent's more 'hugging' feel of the front seats.
Hi Micah, I've been following your Helicopter videos for the past year. Love all the ones around L.A. and O.C. Are you taking suggestions on upcoming flights? There is a Jeep gig at Bolsa Chica Beach next month. Nothing but wall to wall Jeeps in 4 parking lots. Would this be worth a flyover video?
Evie says that do not want you to forget which vehicle you are in. Hmmm…wait until she gets into Hummer EV. They would not want you to even forget in dreams what vehicle you were in. 😂. 32 nameplates all over the vehicle. What?
Where this will win over the competition is the exterior design and price. The interior design is nothing to glorify and engine options are pretty basic.
