2022 Nissan Pathfinder Review: Re-re-rebirth
The Nissan Pathfinder is one of the more interesting case studies when it comes to modern SUVs or crossovers.
Which brings us to the latest all-new Pathfinder. It remains a unibody platform with a single V6 engine choice, but on the styling front it now channels the older, tougher trucks more than previous. The situation changes a bit when the front fascia gets involved; it looks closer to what you’d find on a Rogue than what you would on the new Frontier pickup, for example. Which is too bad because after all, the original Pathfinder did share many of its bits with the Nissan Hardbody pickups of the era. The rear, meanwhile, is dominated by massive “Pathfinder” scripting and full-width taillamps, which provides a unique look - and that’s not something easily achieved in the SUV/CUV world.
I have little to complain about when it comes to the rest of the on-board amenities. The Platinum’s 13-speaker Bose sound system is a good one and both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, and I found the former to work like a charm whenever I stepped in. Overall, the NissanConnect infotainment system is a fast one.
You won’t find many seats more comfortable than what you have here, because the Pathfinder gets Nissan’s patented Zero Gravity seat technology in both the first and second rows. These seats will support you and offer cushioning in all the right places, so you maintain a comfortable posture without feeling like you’re in one of the desks Bart and Milhouse had to deal with when Springfield Elementary switched to those posture-perfect desks.

Gone, however, is the acceleration-sapping CVT auto, replaced by a 9-speed automatic that does well to help, shall we say, “encourage” better acceleration. There’s also a set of paddle shifters attached to the wheel for just a little more driver involvement, and I appreciate that.
