This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2022 Nissan pathfinder 3-row SUV. 35 years ago Nissan introduced us to the Pathfinder. This new model shares some similarities to the original model and it’s not a coincidence. Nissan’s goal was to capture the spirit of the original Pathfinder and create a strong design. Nissan strengthened the silhouette and made the front end more upright with a straighter and flatter hood creating a simple yet bold look. It has a boxy design with faired fenders or what Nissan calls blister fenders. The V-Motion Grille has a squarer style to make it look more modern and Nissan modified the boomerang LED headlights to give this Pathfinder a stronger exterior design. The backend looks sharp with the bold script across the boxy tailgate and the addition of slimmer taillights. For the first time, Nissan is offering a two-tone paint scheme. Nissan says, they closely analyzed every angle to make this vehicle as versatile as possible while also delivering on rugged capability. The Pathfinder has a 3.5L V6 engine with a 9 speed automatic transmission, 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. 4WD is standard in Canada. 2WD and 4WD models are available in the US. Some standard exterior features include, LED headlights and LED taillights, 18” wheels, and black roof rails. One up from the base model will get you the motion-activated power liftgate and two up from the base, silver roof rails and tilt down power mirrors. The top two trims come standard with 20” wheels. Blind spot monitoring and rear-cross traffic alert are standard. Thanks to the additional interior volume, the Pathfinder offers easier cargo and family loading and many other everyday utility benefits. There’s room for up to 8-passengers, space for up to three car seats in the second row and two in the third row. Available captain’s chairs, a first on the Pathfinder and a removable console, no tools needed allowing items up to 7 inches wide to pass between the seats. There’s also easier entry/exit from the 3rd row with one touch seating which pitches the seat forward to provide a wide opening from the driver or passenger side even with a car seat attached.
The captain’s chairs are only available on the top trim. There is two additional inches of front seat legroom, now best in class and 5 inches of third row hip room. The Pathfinder was designed to take 4 golf bags and with all the seats down, it’s large enough for a 4x8 sheet of plywood. There is 1” more overall cargo capacity from the outgoing model. The Pathfinder comes standard with an 8” touchscreen, 7” driver display, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, cloth seats, heated front seats, 10-way power driver’s seat with 2-way lumbar support, a leather heated steering wheel and piano black interior trim. One up from the base model comes standard with a motion activated power liftgate, panoramic sunroof, ProPilot Assist and a third row reclining bench.We've picked the SL trim as the “best value trim” two up from the base model for an extra $6,600. It comes with the bigger 9” touchscreen, ProPilot with Navigation, driver seat memory, 12-way power drivers seat, leather appointed seats, heated second row seats, metallic brushed trim instead of piano black trim, wireless Apple Carplay, panoramic sunroof and a motion activated power tailgate.The top trim will get you some extra features like captain’s chairs, a 12.3” digital driver display, ambient lighting, quilted leather appointed seats, ventilated front seats, bronze metallic brushed interior a head-up display, wireless charger and a 13-speaker Bose sound system.
