Wow, some really great shots of the Pathy here! It looks great! Love seeing it sliding around in the snow. However, it's disappointing that you pointed out two minute areas that are using hard plastics, in areas that that's actually common for any car. The interior is actually very high quality and has a nice use of materials. The majority of the dash is leather wrapped, even on the base trim. I sat in and felt up this and a Telluride and they are pretty comparable.
Although I'm a Subaru fan girl I absolutely watch every single video of yours. Love your car reviews and how thoroughly you review vehicles. Not to leave out the fact that you make your reviews very entertaining 🙂
The lack of ground clearance is the most baffling weakness. 8" is the standard on most CUVs. Odd for a vehicle with a nice AWD system called the Pathfinder that is marketed as an off-roader to only get 7" of clearance. Other than that, I actually really like this new Pathfinder, and I'm not typically a Nissan person. 99% of these will be used for dropping kids off and getting groceries, but still.
I might agree but at the end of the day it is just a CUV which like you said will primarily be used for pavement day-to-day tasks. That and from Ryan’s prior RAV4 TRD-Offroad review, ground clearance may be there but if the all wheel drive system can’t get out of its own way it doesn’t mean much.
I bought a 22 Pathfinder SL 4WD in late September 2021. I love it. I actually use it for Uber and Lyft, and mine has a bench in the 2nd row. Space is meh at best unless you set the 2nd row closer to the front seats. I have the Navigation system, but always just use Wazes with Android Auto. Never even once use the built in unit. Mine does great in all conditions, but I have upgraded rims and AT tires with notable snow and ice grip.
Ryan, In my 17th winter 🥶driving on them, I am also impressed by Michelin X-Ice tires. Having said that, I would downsize the rims to gain sidewall protection from the winter potholes that turn into springtime craters
Thanks Ryan for another great video, I've been waiting for this one. In my younger years I might of been turned off by the off road capability. But nowadays I just want and need a great winter capable vehicle. Living in Central Washington that's kinda important. Glad you made it back safe to the great PNW. Thanks again for another great video. Take care and be safe.
Great video as always. I wish these companies would lend you more affordable car versions. Being a poor boy, some of these videos make me a sad poor boy lol. Keep up the great work! Can't wait to hear about the solterra later this year(fingers crossed).
Once again super explained and shown correctly. So you can imagine it really well. You feel like it and you want to get it across to the viewer in an understandable way.
If they would have held on, the Xterra could have been selling like hotcakes right now. But now they get to start over, which may mean it’s a few years away at best. Same could be said for an FJ.
I wish AWD wasn't such a pain in the ass to find in SoCal.. Ended up finding an SL trim fully loaded from the manufacture with premium package and all towing equipment pre-installed from manufacture, It's practically a Platinum level trim minus the fancy digital display.
Some may like it some others not Nissan Pathfinder is an iconic SUV, having an impressive business card! With this brand new model I like it even more, it looks very mature and inspire confidence.
Great review as always Ryan. at 16:11 there is a brace under the car, and in the future I can see that catch a rock and rip right off. That would worry me.
I think the 3rd Row function is good for child seats but not very practical for carrying taller passenger (given its designed primarily for kids). The Acura mdx (base model) would be my pick over this platinum. Highlander will always be a step ahead due to its resale value in comparison. Overall, Nissan has a solid product to compete. The drive train is a winner and will def help keep them in the fight.
All you had to do to find Starbucks using voice commands was follow the prompts just like you did to find city center. I have 2 Nissans and the prompts are very easy to follow.
I am confuse, why can't you move the middle seat forward so you can fit in the back? Normally, the reason you will be sitting in the back is because there is no space so someone will move the sit forward to make you. You just defaulted to not doable
Plastic: Actually I applaud Nissan for making those trim pieces and buttons matte. That way they look nice and stay nice. Voice commands: worked very nicely for me so far. Then again, I took the 2 minutes to check how this system works (it literally tried to tell you but you interrupted it every time) Lane Assist: You can adjust the sensitivity or turn it off completely if you don't want it Cameras: They "disappeare" because they did come on together with the sonar, hence they stop when the sonar doesn't detect anything. Hit the camera button and they will stay on.
Do you feel like the rear tires engaged before the fronts slipped in all modes?no can't find much info on how the system works. I don't want a system that only is awd when the front slips .I want some cornering help etc.
There isn’t an all wheel drive system made today that only works if the front slips. Nissan awd works 100% of the time from a stop. It slowly adjusts torque from 70/30 to about 90/10 and disengages the rear clutch pack once at normal highway speeds. Some falsely suggest that it’s completely front wheel drive all of the time unless one of the front wheels slip. This is 100% horseshit. The system always engages awd from a stop every time. Slip or no slip.
17:40, 7.1 inches? You’re right, this is a crossover. Pathfinder is an interesting name, when it doesn’t have the ground clearance to find a decent path. I mean sedans are in the 6’s. 🤷🏼♂️
@@rustlesee sounds like there’s a couple, just sounded like you were saying that was the norm. You’re right though it is a crossover, I don’t think it’s pretending to be something it’s not.
This is a warning to not spam comments with a single request. (this same comment was posted across 10 videos.) As we've posted before, we have a request in with Nissan but they have yet to make one available for us.
We purchased a Platinum Pathfinder a few weeks ago, the seats suck with no side bolstering (in comparison to Murano), bottom of the seat doesn't cool right (your back will freeze before it cools your Butt), no anti-freeze in over flow, Shit chunks in the paint...., & Emergency braking does not work when someone walks in front of you or behind you....( this worked great on our 2 year old Platinum Murano) Hello Nissan America NOT happy
What did you decide? Personally I lean slightly Pathfinder simply because the VQ V6 engine is one of, if not the worlds best V6 engine ever made. Toyota really screwed themselves by eliminating their phenomenal V6.
I purchased a brand new Pathfinder SE-V6 in 1994. Leather, Fogs, sunroof, heated seats, manual transmission 4x4, it was fully loaded. Although under powered at 150ish HP, it was a tank.. This? Looks like the "Wife" to my '94 Pathfinder LOL 3:40 Now, on to the rest of the video.
Yeah we had a '95 pathfinder SE-V6 with gray leather fog lamps as well but I can't say that it had heated seats. Had a sunroof though-- in my family I loved that car I literally grew up in it. Had it all the way until I was in 6th grade I think about 2006
@@aayonce4 Yes, by the manual transmission shifter, and the e-brake. That's where the Heated Seat buttons were, IIRC. Awesome vehicle. Reason for buying it was because I loved the look of the spare tire hanging off the outside.. Made it look boxy and tough. One of the same features I also loved about my past few Isuzu Rodeos.
@@Kiss__Kiss oh okay well I only drove it a few times before it was totaled . But yeah i loved the style and I loved the unique door handles in the res lolz
Toyota Sienna Woodland with 6.96 ground clearance or Nissan Pathfinder Platinum 7.0 ground clearance?🤔 With almost identical clearance (0.04 in difference) Sienna might be better for big families? Maybe? Wish Nissan look at competitors like Highlander and give it clearance like 8in clearance for Pathfinder. Not asking SUV clearance like 9.6 on a 4Runner or 9.2 on Armada.
Minivans are always better for large families, but have a stigma associated due to peoples perception from their upbringing. I don’t doubt that most would gravitate towards the Nissan due to it simply appearing like an SUV (all other aspects being similar).
But the sienna can't tow 6k pounds. Yes they can raise the front a but but the sienna also cost a bit more but I always liked a minivan anyway because who is really offloading. You're not taking a highlander offroading so I doubt the small amount of ground clearance is going 2 make a difference. If you're carrying 7 people you shouldn't be in a 3 row suv. You should be in a minivan.
I wish the off-road tests were a bit more... off-road. One wheel 1/8" above the ground isn't really showing the vehicle's capabilities. So isn't driving on a snow packed parking lot in various driving modes. It just doesn't take the vehicle to its limits. After watching this video, I really know nothing about the AWD system in this car. These reviews used to be much better with vehicles stuck in mud and snow. Those videos really showed where the limits were. I recommend watching "SUV Battle" channel. That's a real off-road test
I agree. We're severely limited based on snow-pack this time of year. Too much snow blocks most of the trails. We had requested the Pathfinder last fall, but Nissan took forever to send it to us. So we did the best we could with what we had. We'll likely try a proper overlanding trip with one in the summer -- if Nissan will send it again.
That's always the problem when the vehicle is on loan to Ryan...they are Nazis when they're not the ones testing it out. More so Nissan and Toyota than other brands.
Which is what they're going to be sold for LOL. They're far from the Pathfinder of the 80's and 90's...these are nothing more than an AWD station wagon.
It certainly is not a good crossover, but you hate it a lot in this video.I do not like it compared to the old Pathfinders.At the end it really performed good with the snow tires
I suspect that senior level management at Nissan is, and has been, comprised of Japanese and Europeans. I cannot imagine many Americans with any kind of awareness of truck/SUV buyers, would just hand over things like: two speed transfer cases, +9.6 inches of lift, steel skid plates, crawl control, 120 volt AC outlets in the cargo area, etc. to Toyota and Stellantis on a silver platter. Image is everything in America. Damn shame that Nissan doesn't offer a legit SUV in the North American market. At the very least, offer a Pro-4x version of this mommymobile.
I always thought the new pathfinder was supposed to compete with the Grand Cherokee...not even close lol. More like a Japanese version of a Ford Explorer now
Y'all car journalists kill me. Even if the interior was better made than Toyota's or Honda's you guy's would still would not agree. Every Yota that I have ever sat in feels like a Fisher price toy. Even Mazda's are built with better materials than all Japanese brands and journalists still dog them.
I will say Mazda gets its due respect for their interiors, but it was quite disappointing that he pointed out two areas where all manufacturers use hard touch plastics and failed to mention that the interior is actually very nice. I sat in this at a recent auto show and it was very high quality along with the rest of Nissan's newer interiors. I was most surprised by the Rogues interior. They didn't skimp like they had been and even the Sentra was nice for it's class.
It is so much improved than prior generation. Looks good inside and out and now no CVT. Well done Nissan.
Respect to Nissan for providing snow tires!!!
They just didn't want you to see the poor awd performance without it
Wow, some really great shots of the Pathy here! It looks great! Love seeing it sliding around in the snow.

Great review. If Nissan makes a Pro-4X of this or the Rogue they would sell like hotcakes.
It did perform better than the rav4 TRD in last week video.
I like so much your videos because you are very honest and you judge every car by what really is and not by how it should be or you wish it to be!
Evolving the Pathfinder into a 3 row, crossover, mom car leaves room to add an XTerra to the Nissan lineup in the next couple years.
If they would have held on, the Xterra could have been selling like hotcakes right now. But now they get to start over, which may mean it’s a few years away at best. Same could be said for an FJ.
@@rustlesee Very much agree. They'd be doing really well with the Xterra.
I’m a dad so it’s a 3 row, crossover, dad car too ;) agree on your point though.
I was waiting for this video!
Got this Pathfinder and love it. Very responsive 4wd. Swapped all seasons for duratracs and lift
And can go toe to toe with any Subaru wilderness.
What kind of lift?
PICS! I'm wanting to do the same but I was curious how it looked.
would love to see you guys test the Rock Creek trim out at the course in East Wa
I live in western WA. What trails did you use? I’d love to hit those trails sometime.

Complain to your dealer general managers. They are the ones ordering the crappy front wheel drive models.
Great video! Would you say the Pathfinder is better for long road trips than the Outback?
The new pathfinder is very nice! Great review. Will you be reviewing the new Frontier at some point?
Where in Washington are these hills at? I have a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder and I'd like to go see how capable it is out there.
2” increase in ground clearance and I’m in!
Been waiting for this one.
Great video Ryan hey nick love ya bud. We are blessed

For access to the spare, you will have to unload the back since the lowering crank and attachment are inside the rear hidden trunk compartment.
The Nissan SUVs have gotten better in the snow for sure. Even wearing all season tread. My '21 Rogue does very well in snow.
Great review as always Ryan. at 16:11 there is a brace under the car, and in the future I can see that catch a rock and rip right off. That would worry me.
Would love to see you revisit the Pathfinder with the new 2023 Rock Creek edition.
Did you test the passenger seat? To me it sits really low
Finally looks tough like the old pathfinders. Performs well I think that will be my next suv
Fantastic review as usual!! Also love seeing so many other commenters who are similarly excited to see new DSTV content.
I'm really love Nissan, good and indestructible mechanic and now very good locking SUV.
I have a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder SV 4WD. My 0 to 60 is 5.2 seconds, probably due to premium gas and sports mode.
