#2021 NISSAN PATHFINDER REVIEW DRIVERS#
Selectable drive modes optimize power delivery by letting drivers dial up settings for dirt, snow, sand and even mud and ruts.
It’s no rock crawler, but Nissan has taken steps to make sure the Pathfinder is more off-road worthy than some of its competitors.

Nissan’s ProPilot Assist cruise control, which helps steer on the highway if the driver maintains contact with the steering wheel, is also available. Optional features include blind spot intervention, lane keep assist and traffic sign recognition. Also standard are a driver alertness sensor, rear door alert system and rear sonar for backing up. The redesigned Pathfinder gets a host of new standard safety equipment, including automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning, rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot warning, high-beam assist and rear automatic braking.

Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are standard, and Wi-Fi connectivity with wireless charging is optional. You can also spring for a 10.8-inch head-up display, which projects important information ahead of the driver. An optional 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster offers all kinds of information and is customizable. The available multimedia system uses a 9.0-inch touchscreen mounted high on the dash where it’s easy to see and use, with clear graphics and straightforward menus.

The front and middle rows have plenty of room, and the second row has a one-touch slide-and-tilt feature for easier access to the third row it works even with child safety seats in place. Inside, the 2022 Pathfinder gets a significant upgrade, with a more contemporary look and improved materials and electronics.

Another benefit is increased towing capacity. The result is a smooth and refined powertrain, and one better suited for off-roading.
The new Pathfinder uses the same 284-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 as the old model, but the big news is Nissan killed the continuously variable automatic transmission in favor of a conventional nine-speed automatic. No More CVT 2022 Nissan Pathfinder | photo by Leslie Cunningham Here are five things we like about the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder and three things that need work. Overall, the 2022 Pathfinder is a much more compelling SUV, but it’s not without a few faults. These, plus other tweaks, help give it the ability to tackle moderate off-pavement ventures. It gets a stylish interior, usable third row and a new transmission. With this model-year 2022 update, the new Pathfinder is still aimed squarely at the same audience, but there are big improvements - inside and out. By the time the previous generation rolled into showrooms, the Pathfinder had become a somewhat bland car-based family hauler without much to distinguish it in a crowded field of competitors. Introduced in the mid-1980s as a chunky, truck-based SUV that was more at home on unpaved roads than parking lots, the Pathfinder evolved over the years into more of a mall-hopper.

#2021 NISSAN PATHFINDER REVIEW UPDATE#
But the update is more about strengthening the Pathfinder’s primary role as a comfortable and practical choice for those seeking a mid-size SUV with three rows of seats. Ayapana found the Pathfinder's brakes to have "adequate bite and good body control." Walton said the medium-firm brake pedal offers "good feel and easy modulation.With its 2022 redesign, the Nissan Pathfinder has edged back toward its rugged roots with at least some off-road capability. That's slightly longer than the Grand Cherokee L at 127 feet but a ways off of the AWD Pathfinder's impressive 114 feet, which is difficult to explain with both Pathfinders using the same tires. When it comes to stopping power, the FWD Pathfinder needed 130 feet to haul itself down from 60 mph to 0.

The all-wheel-drive Pathfinder rounded the course a full second quicker at 27.4 seconds, and the Grand Cherokee L (also with AWD) essentially split the difference at 27.9 seconds.
"The chassis is quite good, but you can't go to the power early because the front-wheel-drive system doesn't have any sort of limited slip other than traction control, which kills the exit," Walton noted. Out on the figure-eight course, the Pathfinder completed the loop in 28.4 seconds at an average of 0.59 g, performing better than road test editor Chris Walton expected, though he did find its steering to be unnecessarily heavy during his looping.
