Thank you Nissan and Honda for including a third seat in the middle. Not everyone wants captain chairs

Understood, Lieutenant.

Nissan also comes with captains chairs

I just purchased my 2024 Pathfinder after watching all of your pathfinder videos. I truly appreciate how in depth these reviews are. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Also I still binge watch your other videos even though I have a car already because I genuinely love watching y’all :)

[@CarConfections]

Glad to hear that! Thanks and congrats on your Pathfinder!

[@magnoliap5824]

@@heymisswestI’m driving this and it’s very good but it is a big vehicle. It doesn’t drive sporty at all and you’ll feel bumps with the 20” wheels, something to keep that in mind if that’s an issue. Otherwise it’s beautiful and can haul a lot!

Just got my 2024 Pathfinder Platinum Edition. Only have had it a week, but so far I love it. Ive never had an SUV and I’m pleasantly surprised how beautifully it rides.

[@Nickss77]

How is it doing so far?

[@matt.f90]

I have a 2023 Platinum Pathfinder with all the add-ons, and I really like it. I really appreciate how the Pathfinder handles lane departure. Other vehicles I've own(ed), and test drove in this segment apply minor steering corrections to re-center the vehicle back into the lane, which (to me) is very annoying. This is the first vehicle I've driven that applies light braking to opposite rear wheel when departing a lane, causing the vehicle to naturally re-center itself back into the lane without jerking the steering wheel. This subtle, yet effective feature is never mentioned in any reviews. Things Nissan could improve upon: They should include USB power in the center console. They need updated infotainment software. I use Apple CarPlay 99% of the time, so this isn’t all that bothersome; however, this is same UI that my previous 2016 Murano had. The power folding mirrors aren’t all that useful, mainly because they’re not integrated with the vehicle’s computer - so they can’t automatically fold in when the car is parked. They can only be folded by the press of a button, so pretty much only useful during a carwash. The steering assist is decent; however, I have noticed sometimes it tends to pull you closer to the yellow line. I’m sure this is just software calibrations and/or training models, so this could be corrected with updates. Last observation, I wish the steering wheel sensor was capacitive and not torque, but I also realize this adds cost. All things considered; I would absolutely recommend the newer model Nissan Pathfinder. I also have a 2021 X5, and this Pathfinder literally has almost every feature you could find in the top-of-the-line luxury vehicles, plus even a few extra - they’re just not as refined.

[@mohamedselim3401]

Is the hight of passenger seat adjustable?

[@matt.f90]

@@mohamedselim3401 Yes, the height of the passenger seat on the 2023 and 2024 (Platinum) Nissan Pathfinder is adjustable. This is not the case of the 2022 Pathfinder.

[@thumperjdm]

Great review, as usual. I'm a lighting nerd, and finding incandescent turn signals and backup lights on a 2024 vehicle costing $50 is just a huge sin in my opinion.

[@CarConfections]

Thanks!

[@hamsterbrigade]

Special feature of the Pathfinder - 6,000lbs of towing capacity. This is the reason I bought it over the competition.

[@DRBG444]

Thanks for featuring the Pathfinder, even with not a lot of changes for 24. I drive the 21 Rogue, it was the only CUV I could test drive and find at the end of 2021, and got it with a dealer upcharge that was not as painful as the other brands. I love my Rogue! I do miss the V6 as a previous Highlander owner, and can't wait to see how this version of the Pathfinder evolves by the time I will be ready to upgrade in a few years! Thanks again for the insight and excellent review!

[@gosman949]

you will find no six cylinders when you are ready to buy in a few years.

[@DRBG444]

For sure, @@gosman949 ! I'm hoping there will be an electrified version (hybrid or full EV) of either the Rogue or Pathfinder in the near future 😎

[@mikey27437]

Nissan had switched to a new technology borrowed from Ford: Wire Transfer Plasma coating. Instead of inserting steel sleeves in aluminum v8 block they plasma coat the cylinders from inside. Do they use the same method with this v6 block? Thank you.

[@kevinW826]

I’m 6’0 and 260 pounds. I can fit comfortably in the third row. Last year I took out an early 2023 pathfinder platinum out for a test drive and again this year and I am still planning on getting a pathfinder in the next few months. I have the money to buy it outright, my family just moved across Canada and I just need a stable job first instead of temp work, than I will be signing on the dotted line.

[@nickabbatiello828]

Great video of the 7 passenger Nissan Pathfinder!!! Great job guys!!

[@YevgenLasman]

Thank you for great and thorough reviews. What I would really love to see is someone to care about the second pilot and its seat 😃 While the driver's chair is important, it is also important to know features of the second pilot chair aka front passenger. For example, Platinum here should have 4-way lumbar support which is quite a feature I think.

[@magnoliap5824]

Yeah the front passenger seat could be better on this trim.

[@waynewilliams1487]

Forget highlander & pilot pathfinder competes with Palisade. Very luxurious starting t theSL, but I love the rock creek it one of the fastest in the segment even with Toyo tires at6.7 to 60 add premium you got 60 in 6.3! And get 26.1 mpg according to motorweek👍🏽

[@thisIsSomeShite]

That trim level requires premium fuel.

[@brokeboy87]

I would probably skip the platinum and get the SV trim and save some money since the platinum isn't that special in comparison to its rivals.

[@AunH]

Agree! For a platinum trim I expected more bells & whistles. I'm willing to put the extra money on QX360 or even the Lexus TX.

[@kenttakao1]

I purchased a 2024 Pathfinder and had one major problem. That is that the passenger seat height is not adjustable at all. My wife is the primary driver, and she is 5 and 3, and even the driver's seat has to be set the highest, with extra cushioning. When she sits in the passenger seat she looks like a grade schooler. If the airbag inflated against a short passenger in this condition, will her face be safe? Could Nissan provide taller seat rails?

[@mohamedselim3401]

Which trim level you got? I heard only SL and Platinum trims have adjustable passenger seat..

Nissan Pathfinder is it worth buying or leasing. I leased a 2023 Pathfinder found out while driving that there a safety hazard. After pick up at dealer on July 6, 2023 guess what I had to returned it to dealer service center which is being there now since August 25, 2023. Nissan had not done anything to get back at me on what is being done to repair problem. The vehicle has no power under the hood when needed to pass a vehicle, that I almost was rear ended trying to do so. If you floor the gas pedal is worse trying to stop it on the highway or local driving. Worse when you are trying to enter from entrance ramp on to flow of traffic that I almost got hit from behind. The pro pilot system ; stop/ start features even when in the off mode. Is creepy cause as you drive you feel that in the background the system is still controlling by slowing it & picking up speed even when you want to stop. Transmission jerks also engine hesitation st all speeds. Before you buy check the Nissan on line owner forums; on Facebook do your research. I will be contacting a lemon law lawyer if by next week Nissan has not done anything with my leased Pathfinder.😢

How about long term reliability? I don’t see GM making a car last more than five years. The Tahoe triplets have rusting problems in the structure that requires the entire A, B, and C pillar sheet metal to be cut out and replaced. And that is only one a two year old model. And yes it is documented

Never had Nissan cars before only Toyotas (Prados and Land Landcruisers) and Mazdas(CX9) but Nissan has a way better interior quality and the ride quality is much better than Toyota. Moreover, never drove CVT before and it’s good especially on Murano so smooth.

I was looking at the Pathfinder, Telluride, and Palisade before settling for a Pilot 2022. The Pilot has the most generous and comfortable space in third-row seats. One thing I didn't like about the Pathfinder was how the second row lifts up and move forward when you need to access the third-row. If you have stuff in the second row like sweater or blanket, they would likely be thrown down to the floor. Also, the spring pulls hard, almost violently. Pathfinder's trunk space is also smaller than other competitors - it's only bigger than the Highlander's trunk.

[@WiseTreee]

@@LamNguyen-sr1sy I was looking for Toyota Grand Highlander and Honda Pilot, but was not ready for 6-8 months of wait, and pay markup. I went to a Nissan dealership, they treated be well and gave me car below the manufacturer price. It’s a solid car and have everything I need.

@@LamNguyen-sr1sy problem with Telluride and Palisade, is that they use same engine, that is a almost 15-20 years old technology.
