There were big SUVs for years, but the Nissan Pathfinder was not one of them until now. The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder model not only asserts a very prominent position in the third-row category of SUVs, but it also does so with a parade of applause from critics and new fans alike. It looks big, feels big, and drives like it too! And a grown adult can fit comfortably in the third row as well.

A Respectable Power Base

Under the hood, the 2022 model packs a 284-horsepower engine V-6 block that pretty much continues the same power source as before, but the new transmission (9-speed) makes the movement down the road feel like butter going from gear to gear. Under test mode, the vehicle quickly reached a 60-mph speed point under 7 seconds, which slightly improved over previous year models using front and rear traction. Go for a spin in the all-wheel-drive version of the 2022 Pathfinder, and it will likely be even faster. The Pathfinder has slightly stronger springs matched to a broader tire base, giving the vehicle better traction on the suspension side of things. However, the 2022 Pathfinder doesn't drive like a beast; it seems to be responsive and nimble when applied.

Internal Driving Enjoyment

The internal cabin has a solid amount of noise protection, something larger vehicles tend to lose and trade-off with power. Instead, the highway noise is very well controlled and quieted in the 2022 model. The dashboard and interior trim choices meet several markets right off the start, but more importantly, the seats are comfortable in any choice. The higher trim package comes with leather upholstery and a good amount of electronics, such as the infotainment panel, climate-controls, full digital center management, and similar. Sunroof choice, heated steering, passenger seats, and additional driver safety systems are available for other options. Four different trim packages range from the Platinum to the SV, SL, and S packages.

Making a Better Impression

Externally, the Pathfinder is stepping up its game in design and shape, fixing a few of the oversights from previous models and presenting a far snappier look. Combined with a broader base for more room inside, the 2022 model makes up for some of the critiqued shortcomings of previous years with giant leaps forward.
