2022 Nissan Pathfinder Review - Finally Nailed it and Now a Big Contender

- The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder could be called an entirely different name - It's that different. This updated 3 row SUV gets a bold new style, standard AWD in Canada, and now has grown from a 7 to 8 passenger vehicle. One thing that should be nice though would be a hybrid option which this Pathfinder does not have - YET.
Have the 2022 Pathfinder Platinum in Obsidian Green with Chestnut Leather....love it! Gorgeous interior and very roomy for this 6ft 5in driver. I have plenty of legroom and headroom. This vehicle is loaded.
This is one of the most useful and best reviews I have seen for the 2022 Pathfinder! White body with black roof, and chestnut interior. About three weeks ago I ordered the Platinum fully equipped. I was very impressed with the one I test drove. I am presently trading in my 2016 Murano Platinum.
I was reading Nissan priced this Pathfinder under normal market value for this type and level of vehicle to help get them back in to the market place. When Toyota came out with their Lexus line they under priced the Lexus vehicles for a few years to get their name in to the market place.
Well, regarding price, I got mine $2000 over Msrp due inventory shortage, no color, line, options and transmission to chose, just the one thy have that day, I got a good trade in on my o 2009 dodge so I made the deal with a 60 month 0.9 ARP wich is a good deal even The over price. But as I told the financial manager trying to upgrade my warranty, "sorry but at that price they gave you no room to negotiate any upgrade". Situation is not easy, pretty much they have no cars to sale, very very low inventory o. Any model, I guess they are surviving having just a couple new per month to sale.
Mind me asking what u paid for it what was the MSRP
This is the best review I've seen on the new Pathfinder. I really appreciate the detail on the third row and cargo area. For me, looking for a three row SUV, this area of the vehicle is important. And thanks for showing that the second row can be stopped before slamming into the knees of a third row passenger. Great job.
Great review and thanks for sitting in the 3rd row middle seat! No one ever does that in their reviews and that was very helpful.
Love it Now...Its one of the Best interiors i think and love the design.
Just started looking at these, thanks for the review. Definitely jumped up to the top of my list now.
Kudos to Nissan , now free of their former rogue chairman , for dramatically improving their range against all the economic hardships. Pre renault nissans delivered great value and it seems like they are slowly going back to their old ways.
It’s a great contender in the 3 row SUV category. Nissan did a excellent job on the redesign
LOVE IT! I had a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder and I loved it. But I was so disappointed when Nissan lost the rugged aesthetic and moved to the more recent “bubble” shape. Bleh!
But this new design and all of the features is spectacular. I am definitely going to be buying a 2022 Pathfinder Platinum later this year. Hopefully there will be some good sales around Christmas time. 🤞
Good luck on any sales. Hard to get any vehicle these days and supply and demand is insane. Some dealership lots look like half empty parking lots.
@@EverydayReviews2022 100% this. You literally have to order the cars now. The Nissan dealership near me 2 years ago was full. Now it has a handful of cars.
They copy range rover
I still have my 2008 and still going strong. I like the new model as well. May look into trading my '08 in.
Great review. You told me some things that other reviews did not, such as that the heated steering wheel is completely heated and not partially heated, which is important for us here in northern Manitoba. I also liked your take on the new 9 speed transmission.
I love my 2022 pathfinder!!@ perfect for my family function and everyday life routine!
Thank you for this great review. I was on the fence with getting a 2022 Pathfinder vs Highlander or CX9 but listening to all the reviews I am going to stick with pathfinder.
I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 225,000 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.
My favorite SUV of all. I'm getting this one if my old Rogue begins to break.
If you get a chance to test drive it
If it starts on first gear , the transmission, don’t buy it.
It should start on second gear , it is not properly tune by Nissan if it does that .
I'm at the stage in my life where I'm stripping my heavily modified car back and sending it back to stock and going to sell it to buy one of these. I saw this at a recent local Car Show and came back to look at it three times throughout the show. I really think Nissan is going to make a big comeback in the next several years as they continue to make better cars. I wish this looked a little more rugged like the Telluride, but I'm excited to see what they do next.
To me, Pathfinder looks way more rugged than Telluride.
That's a good-looking SUV, I'm sold.❤🔥❤🔥 I love the Nissan automobile and am a Juke fanatic, this will be a major upgrade.❤🔥🔥
Great review !
Would agree that not having the 8 passenger option in the Platinum is quite unfortunate.
Awesome video showing the features on the all new 2022 Nissan Pathfinder.
We just got our blue pathfinder today. We love it
Thanks for your review,I’m a Murano owner looking to upgrade soon and the Pathfinder is at the top of my list so your review is a big help
I thought it was a Ranger Rover when I first saw one on the streets, the design is on point, rugged yet futuristic, no nonsense interior, ample room, V6 engine, no CVT? And the price is the lowest amongst the rivals, I may be buying a Nissan after being gone from it for 20 years, but I'm going to wait for the 2023 year model where they sort out all the little kinks for the 2022 first year of the new model
Wouldn't wait but I get it. They've actually done the work on making this model very reliable. I have the sl path. And I'm super impressed. Been a Nissan owner for 12 years. This is our second within the time frame. Super reliable. I'm sure 2023 is just going to be more of the same. All recalls are minor. On that note thats the reason why I went with the SL model. Platinum had a number of recalls and that made the decision easy for me simply because I didnt want a sun or panorama roof. If our 12 year old Altima wasn't about to go out I wouldn't have bought the path. So Im happy with this much needed purchase.
Look at all those beautiful colors. Bold blue and green. The new Grand Cherokee L can learn a lesson with only white and silver and grey and black and one burgundy. Boring. Great job a Nissan and welcome back to leading the world along with other great iconic brands.
Just got the gun metal I’m in love with it. I love how they give me the option to take off the eco idle!
You mind asking how much you paid for it and what model
Can’t wait for this to arrive in Aus .
First! Nice review Brian! Love this new Pathfinder!
Good review & great Pathfinder.
I just got a SL trim and I love it it’s nice in and out 👍😂
Congrats!
Great job, Sir!
Great review, thanks
Great in-depth review. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the review. Does the middle row seats fold down for more storage capacity? I'm starting to look into what car will replace my aging 2007 Honda Odyssey. I was looking at the Telluride by Kia, and Honda Pilot and the Toyota Highlander. I test drove the Pilot, and was not impressed with the throttle lag - could be due to the VCM. The steering column telescopic?
Hola quería saber si se va a vender también en España
Wow, the perfect review ‼️🙌 I ❤️ that car. Thanks❗️
Thanks for the kind comment.
Just tried the Honda Passport Ex-l and the Toyota Highlander XLE, my next stop is the Nissan, tring to find one on the lot is difficult… Looking for towing, space, engine, confort. Honda was very nice, but no center arm rest. Toyota is on the small side for the front door entry, but no seat memory, remote start, steering wheel heat, but very confortable and quiet. I’m 6 ‘7, so i need space
I too agree on the rear door lock. Thank you Nissan.
Really appreciate that Brian is the only auto journalist on YT who consistently points that out.
What about lock?
You were in my town? If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a cake!
Its so sad they don’t have options of having 8 seater on platinum. I don’t want the removable
During, looked Pathfinder, I was remembering Hyundai Palisade because the both is very similar and classy l like it
I have never been a fan of Nissan, due to their bland styling, but this vehicle does look the part for sure. I agree with a previous comment that Nissan's build quality has sometimes let them down. Given that this is not a full 'off-road' vehicle and more the family style three row SUV, it's a shame they haven't included a Hybrid version. I guess, like you said, with the included tow harness and 6000 Ib capacity, Nissan have concentrated on function as apposed to fuel efficiency! Thanks for the review.
There’s been a lot going on with Nissan over the past couple of years. I think they’re just trying to get their bearings back with some core product first. Hybrid may come later especially since they have the Mitsubishi alliance which brings PHEV technology to the table. Would love a PHEV Pathfinder, that would be perfect for our lifestyle.
Pls price chart
Great revjew! How is the Pathfinder priced compared to a Kia Telluride? Secondly, is Nissan offering the same warranties as the Telluride? Thanks again for an excellent review.
I own a 20116 Pathfinder, After looking at the
2022 that you were driving I am thinking of trading my 2016 in for that one it is sweet looking especially in Blue
You won’t regret it.
Is it reliable?
Man u do very good reviews.
Middle Console should be a cool box.
Should add cool box, massage seats and pluge in hybridge soon for another option.
Oh yea. The world famous pluge in hybridge.
Brian I have 3 kids and if you would consider this for your family that means it would work for me as well. The 3rd row seems useable and that’s really important to me. Do you think the base model is the best value?
Best value would be one above the base model. Would be very good for a family and as long as you don’t get the top of the line, it’s an 8 passenger. I’d test drive it for sure. It’s a really nice vehicle and they did a great job with it.
@@EverydayReviews2022 I recently purchased the SL it has the captain chairs and moon roof only doesn't have them digital gage cluster and heads up display. The SL is the best bang for the buck in my opinion.
@@petersondesrosiers5024 I don't like the digital guage clusters so I chose this also!!!
Go one trim up get the SL with upgraded package ...u won't regret it
@@teriblo u mean sv with roof option
I would like to you review this pathfinder vs. the grand Cherokee L?
I’ll try to see if I can get a hold of a Cherokee L
How is the camera and screen clarity Compared to the sienna and highlander?
Is the new transmission the same as in the 2022 Honda pilot? How is the interior space and cargo space of the 22 pathfinder compared to the Pilot. Do you have to have AWD for the 6,000 lb towing?
The transmission is the same you would find in a Jaguar. Super smooth and wow. The power. I think if I'm not mistaken it s German made transmission. A transmission built by a manufacture where diving at super speeds on the Autobahn is conventional and put that transmission in a vehicle where it's rarely going to be traveling at the speeds it's built for. Oh yeah that transmission is going to outlast anything on the road.
Great review. Nissan should've made it more rugged and less soccer momish.
Look nice for every color
A proper roof rack and a towing hitch standard on most models! How difficult is it for the manufacturers of "family haulers" to figure that out?! Good job, Nissan! (Shame on you Toyota! - crappy roofrack and $2k extra for the hitch)
This! Omg this! I’m in Texas and I cannot find the 3 things I must have for a family hauler. AWD, hitch and a proper roof rack. I went to my local Nissan dealer and they deliberately ordered a Pathfinder without the standard hitch. They claimed that no one tows in the South. It’s a northern thing. Wait? What?
Looking to go from the Murano to the SL trim. Hoping they get inventory soon
I was a Murano owner and just bought the 2022 Pathfinder SL. I really wanted the Platinum model, but the SL is a great SUV. I really like it and am glad I didn't wait for a Platinum. The only thing that would make the Pathfinder perfect is, since I am 5'4", I really need side rails and hope that is an option in the future.
hello you are using navigation off your phone on the windshield, does the SUV not come with navigation or is an option that you have to pay for?
Yes it comes with built in Navi. I find it quicker to use my phone in most cases.
Great review!
How does it compare with Telluride, in terms of ride quality and handling?
Many YT reviews say Pathfinder still drives like a truck, not like the comfortable Telluride family hauler
Really great review - thank you
Very informative video. Great review. Love Nissan.
Not much mention of the motor! Wonder why?
Because nothing else needs said. Same VQ35 V6 that Nissans used for years. It’s rock solid and nearly bulletproof for reliability.
Great review and good job to Nissan but set me straight here, the Pathfinder is now a direct competitor to the Highlander? But in the past, the Pathfinder was a direct competitor to the 4runner?
Yes, it was a direct competitor to the 4Runner until it became a Crossover in 2013.
Love your channel! Can you do a review on the new Toyota Landcruiser 300. Thank you
If I can get one. Sure.
Sales volume will say it all
Premium option should add massage seat.
Nissan 🙌🏽😎
ER.... Good review. Nice looking SUV. Nissan has terrific Colors.... DEEP Blue, that Scarlet darker Red and they are Two Tone with Black Roofs make it very attractive. The New Infiniti QX60 is nicer, but is it $12K Nicer???
Hello, I love it. I choose it…..Because It is A Right Thing For Me. Someday, ZI would have it anytime. 👍👊❤️❤️❤️❤️
Is the transmission still cvt?
I have one same color ocean blue ..sv love it
Passenger seat is too low and not height adjustable
Where are the engines made?
VW Atlas, Kia Telluride or Pathfinder which is better 🤔
Does that Nissan logo light up at night?
I don’t think so.
I'm gonna stick some watermelons in the back of my Platinum Pathfinder too! Love the review. : )
good show and nice car
Nissan is a great car❤
@ 11:56 did you mean Platinum not Ultimate?
Ah yes. 2 car events in a row. Other was the Santa Cruz. Thanks.
I agree with the subtitle here- this vehicle needs to be called something else. It's fine for what it is-- a soccer mom kid hauler-- but it's not a Pathfinder, even in the AWD version. Nissan needs to rename it and then go back to the drawing board and introduce a legit off-road competitor to Toyota, Jeep, Ford Bronco etc and call THAT the Pathfinder.
The Xterra was the true spiritual successor to the original Pathfinder. They should revive the Xterra and build it off the new Frontier because that’s body on frame construction like the old Pathfinder.
@@nel1962 Obviously, someone else watches Sarah N Tuned reviews like I do! ;)
@@sblagg527 Haha! But really, it's such an obvious solution that I'd be surprised if Nissan hasn't seriously considered it.
so i have the 22 highlander, i looked at the pathfinder, but i felt it was actually smaller in the inside and especially in cargo area it had a slope to it especially noticed inside, the sad thing is that the highlander is so vanilla and boring with looks
Pathfinder is the most beautiful one of them SUV car
Beautiful SUV
As a previous owner of pathfinder and we moved to Subaru Ascent. If these came early surely this will be in our list. Late in the game?
Agree. Better late than never though.
@@EverydayReviews2022 BTW, great review 👍:)
Subaru cvt’s are garbage. Stay on top of your maintenance.
@@Moistnmeaty90 Garbage? My Subaru is running great and still.. currently on 98k and surely not our first CVT. Sorry if you have bad experience.
@@g7003041 I’m glad you’re having good luck. I’m a master technician in an import shop and we see lots of Subarus in our shop. More than any other import. Keep an eye on your fluid levels. Oil consumption, coolant leaks, wheel hubs, fuel pumps, valve guides, electrical gremlins, are very common on 2014-2018 Subarus of every model. It’s not a matter of if, but when with Subaru. You are right at that mileage where these issues begin to pop up. Stick to your maintenance. Sounds like you’re doing a good job. Subarus are unforgiving to abuse.
I think ıts like escalade. If ı buy this, ı choose black one . Great
I'm trying to convince my dad to look at some SVs nearby
Pathfinder might be the one for me; maybe
It says 4 wheel drive on the back
I like it looks premium
Have a look at it when it comes out. It really does have a premium look and feel and so many standard features.
did they nail reliability? we’ll see.
haha, I think if you look around and read user reviews you will find this to be a skip vehicle. I mean, its the same as Kia - loads of recalls resulting in settlements. Plus you have to get the higher trims as they cheap out hardcore on the lower ones leaving the Highlander as the clear winner.
I have not been a fan Nissan because of their inconsistency in regards to quality.
Wait a year or two.
23:13 what happened there, just randomly started to drive on the shoulder? Did Zack forced you off the road? 🤣
Lol. Good eye. Kinda ran out of road 😂
After watching your review for this 2022 Pathfinder I want one now...lol! I have a 2021 Honda Pilot EX-L with Navi and it looks so outdated as compared to this Pathfinder 😭
That would be a good comparison. The interior is definitely fresh on the Pathfinder.
@@EverydayReviews2022 Everything is nice but they shouldn't have put the 9 speed ZF automatic transmission in it. I heard about some issues with it but dunno exactly what.
Very nice thx u for sharing
I hope it is better than your older Highlander 😂
I just dont like the center console.... old style, they should immate like that of highlander..... another is the lowered bumper, very low... at least if they can make it higher, the better if not the best
Thank you for the detailed review. The third row usability is important to us as well. I wonder how the QX60 could be any better than this.
Is there enough space in the underfloor cargo bin for the middle row center console to be stored inside?
Good question. I’m not sure but it might fit sideways. It would be close. The QX60 will have more premium materials and some design differences. This is really nice though.
@@EverydayReviews2022 Have you had a chance to ride in the new QX60? The comments of the stiff on road ride the Pathfinder has concerns me.
I don’t need an opinion on everything. Just review the feature and explain them but keep your call to yourself
Excellent no CVT. 👍😃
Nailed it except for the ground clearance!, Needs higher clearance for off road! Pay attention!
A plug-in hybridge trim should be available.
Don't get the lower trim levels if at all possible. The cameras are horrible quality. The passenger seat is so low you can't see over the hood or even use the sun visor. Nissan won't fix it. This is very truck like drive, not very comfortable you can feel every bump. The AC/Heat has constant issues with the blower motor not working and they can't recreate, so won't fix unless it happens at the dealer. We have to pull over and turn the car on and off to get the blower motor to work intermittently. Gas mileage is not what was advertised or anywhere close. It's about 12 to 15 in the city. Needs work for sure.
Yes, that’s what I’m reading in many YT channel reviews. If an automobile can’t function properly then it’s not worth it, no matter how beautiful it may look
Not sure how they thought CVT waa better on gas mileage, it's absolutely terrible.
To stop cantaloupe and watermelon from rolling around next time at Costco get one of those big cardboard try boxes for your SUV. They are available for free near cash registers.Then put so,e car clean in towels in it amd voila, your cantaloupe and melons won’t roll around any more.
I never think that far ahead😂 I used to strap them in the baby seat when the kids weren’t in the car 😝
Mediocre interior and techs compared to mid ranged SUVs such as Santa Fe, or Kia Sorento. Even 2022 Mitsubishi outlander interior and Tech seems much better then this!
