The way that Nissan works is that they make a car that is fantastic, class leading, innovative, and exciting and then they sell it for 15 years until it’s none of those things.

Well, it will be right on time for the ban on petrol engines sales in europe in 2035.

Just for the 6000 lb towing capacity alone, the pathfinder is worth a look. If you go by the common recommendation to not exceed 80% of max tow rating, you can tow 4800 lbs, that's enough for a 21-22 ft boat, trailer, fuel, and gear. Virtually every other non-FCA brand competitor has a 5000 lbs max tow (4000 lbs at 80%). That's an 18-19 ft boat/trailer/fuel/gear for reference. A couple feet in the world of boats and travel trailers is a huge difference.

If Nissan wants to continue their revival, the Xterra needs to come back yesterday. The Frontier is already out so it should be a no-brainer since they'll share both the look and platform. I've been saying they need a dedicated Warrior trim since the fantastic Titan Warrior that was shown. Those would have sold like hotcakes if they had taken that initiative especially considering the Rebel hadn't even been introduced then. A Frontier and X-terra Warrior wouldn't be bad as well to go against the Raptors.

[@daniellee100]

Nissans biggest mistake is not making a gen 3 Xterra. Would also sell like hotcakes if they did it right. My 2nd gen xterra is titan swapped, both suspension and i put the v8 in it. Absolutely blows 4runners out of the water. But I had to do that stuff myself because Nissan is too dumb to realize the potential.

[@aaryeshg.6526]

Actually 3rd gen Xterra exists. Just that you guys in US don't get it. 😂 It's called Nissan Terra, made in Thailand and sold here in middle east. It's pretty much a Nissan Navara chassis/frame with SUV body. Edit: And my guess the reason they don't sell it in US is because it has no V6 or V8, only 2.5L 4 cyl (which is fine imo, its powerful enough).

[@Bartonovich52]

A couple of enthusiasts want an Xterra.. so of course Nissan should make them. You going to take your brand new XTerra and start ripping it apart to mod it and then immediately take it mudding and rock crawling and river fording? Not a chance! You need Karen to buy one and take it back and forth from the mall and soccer practice for ten years before you buy it.. just like you did with her FJ Cruiser she had when she was a single professional and her Geo Tracker her parents bought her in high school. Now that she’s married with kids, she needs a 7 seat unibody AWD vehicle that isn’t a minivan. That’s what the Pathfinder is. And if she only needs 5 seats, the Rogue. And if she’s still on her own, the Qashqai. There’s always the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wranger. My guess is the Bronco will be discontinued inside of 5 years due to lack of sales.

[@chiemekaa]

@@Bartonovich52 The point is having new models that will generate interest in the brand. That's what spurs increased sales. Of course they'd also need to back it up with actual quality.

In my opinion this Pathfinder looks way better then the other mid-size suvs you mentioned. It‘s bold enought and more elegant and distinctiv than the others.

[@RyanSaldana]

Although I love the styling of the Murano (I feel like it kicked off the mainstream crossover styling), I think it's time to cut it from the lineup and swap in a new Xterra that would slot in nicely between the Rogue and Pathfinder to compete in the off-road/overlander space.

[@christianstoyanov4290]

Which murano are we talking about? The first gen? Either way love both the first and second gen for unexplainable reasons. The 3rd one is so bland to me though

[@slowspecv69]

I think there is a place for the murano, but it needs to be spiced up a little bit, maybe the 290hp or the 306hp 3.5 v6 instead of the 260hp. Put a torque converter auto into it, slightly bigger brakes, adaptive suspension that can handle pretty decently for a crossover but still be reasonably comfortable. So basically a properly sporty crossover without having the price of an x3m or gle43. I agree the xterra needs to be brought back, and of course Nissan pulled the plug on it literally a year before suvs started selling record numbers lol.

[@DougDeMuro]

Amazingly, Nissan sells an Xterra in Asia (called just the Terra) that would do incredibly well in our market given the push for off-road SUVs. However due to truly terrible product planning and development, it’s not offered here. One of the biggest misses of any automaker today.

Weird. The old one was sold under the name "Terrano" where I grew up, in Germany. My parents owned what must have been the 1988 model, the one with the triangular window, from the old ad Doug shows at the beginning of the video. I was having the hardest time finding pictures of that thing. If it was sold under a different name in the USA, that explains why. SUVs were still rare in Germany and Europe in general back then and I doubt that they sold many under that differing name in that much smaller market.

[@euteo]

Nah, the Terrano was not the Pathfinder. Terrano was another SUV built by Nissan. After the Terrano was dropped, they launched the X-Trail. Pathfinder is more like the predecessor of the Patrol, although I think they overlapped for a few years.

[@TrangleC]

@@euteo Don't ask me why, but in Germany they definitely sold that exact car from that old ad, with the triangular window and the 3 distinctive slits in the front under the name "Terrano". That is the name under which my parents bought it. That was what stood in the car's papers. That is what the badge on the back said and that is what was printed on the cover for the spare tire. I myself drove the thing. My parents still had it when I turned 18 and got my own driver's license and I had to lift their huge dog up on the tailgate to take it for walks. So this is no nebulous, dim early childhood memory that I could confuse. Also, when learned the American name and was finally able to google pictures for it more successfully, even with using the "Pathfinder" search term, I still found a bunch of pictures that are named Terrano. So if I'm imagining things, I'm not the only one with that particular delusion, lol.

Why does Doug correctly consider a turn signal stalk returning to position as bad, but considers a trans lever that returns to position as an advantage?

[@Zerospawnn]

Because you use a turn signal more often then a trans lever, your not gonna be constantly messing the the transmission while driving, but with the turn signals you are, so hes right, with those turn signals its super annoying.

I have had both and I can tell you that there isnt a single time when you find yourself with problems to change gear and every fucking week the turn signal stock gives you a headache

[@sosaix3545]

Doug, ceiling mounted vents are a plus, not a negative! I've ruled out so many SUVs because they have center-mounted rear air it's not even funny. Give me ceiling-mounted every time - much more convenient for your passengers and it's easier to keep cool. More manufacturers need to go that route, IMHO.

Noticing the stitch pattern on the seats. It reminds me of the weave pattern on a Samurai sword. And I've always thought that the Nissan front chrome U-shape/design has been emulating a Samurai helmet. Nice touch Nissan.

It’s funny that he complains about the ceiling vents in the second row, but this feature is actually a huge plus for families with kids in rear facing car seats! The center vents fail to get good air flow to the kiddos whos car seat is blocking that center stack, while ceiling vents make it so those kiddos get good air too! So Nissan is actually designing this vehicle with families in mind! 😊

[@SportsFan2001]

[@TimJoseph08031990]

The ZF-sourced 9HP automatic transmission is a welcome replacement, compared to the horrendous, failure-prone push-belt CVT from the last generation. However Nissan needs to bring back the X-Terra to compete with the Bronco and Passport.

Doug: “The 9 speed transmission will probably smooth out the driving experience.” Seriously? How do you get any smoother than a CVT? Shifting gears is always less smooth than never shifting gears.

[@reviinge]

Lol have you ever drove that CVT? Feel sluggish and slow. I understand what you mean in theory but that CVT wasn't smooth. Maybe in the V6 models a little more. The one in the Maxima wasn't too bad but the ones in the 4 cyl models is just , meh

You realize that most CVT especially Nissan CVT transmissions are horrible. Seen 20k mile Nissans at the dealer for transmission replacements.

[@isaac4273]

I remember driving my cousin's Nissan (I think it was a versa) and the little thing felt horrible under acceleration and just very sluggish. Oddly the engine itself felt peppy and whatnot, I'm sure it would've been a blast to drive with a manual

[@matthewnelson5680]

@@reviinge I've owned two V6 Nissans with CVTs. Of course I've driven them. They are not slow at all. You think they feel slow because they feel different, but the 0-60 times of a CVT, all other things being equal, are better. The computer can hold the maximum torque RPM for the duration of the acceleration with no time wasted shifting. Blame the 4 cylinder engines for the "slow" CVTs you drove.

The two best SUVs in the mid size would be the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder and the Toyota Highlander. It would be the matter of taste. Both are excellent. I went for the 2022 Pathfinder Platinum 4WD with full options. Excellent. I liked it the best between them all. For the off road, it is more of a light duty off road vehicle. Excellent for snow storms and rough roads. It is by far NOT an all terrain or heavy duty off road vehicle. If you want something all terrain there is the Rubicon with the extended off road options, or the equivalent on some other brands. As for a quiet and smooth ride the new Pathfinder is ideal. Very comfortable. I found for power and handling it is very adequate for an SUV. I am very satisfied with it. I took an extended service contract for it. As for how it drives, it is more like a big Murano. If you have driven the Murano the Pathfinder is like driving a large Murano. It is 2.5 inches wider, bit longer, and about 2 inches higher than the Murano. It is more boxy and thus the blind spots are different. With the modes, I found the ECO mode gives about 5% to 7% improvement in fuel economy. The SPORT mode allows for more aggressive acceleration. SPORT mode allows the transmission to work in higher ratios, and allows for richer fuel burning. The higher gear ratios allow to keep the RPMs higher when accelerating making the engine work more in its higher torque range. I found best fuel economy and best overall performance is when using premium gasoline. The difference is very much noticed. I have a very light foot when driving. I mostly use the AUTO mode. The rear wheels engage when required. Excellent in snow and muddy roads. As for an SUV like this I believe it is a waste of money to buy this without the 4WD option. If you don't want 4WD you get better value in buying a regular type car or van, save cost, and have better trade in value when changing it for a newer model.

This is a cheap MESS ...Doug, you're kissing butt with this review bro, especially when you say that the materials are quality.. LOL.. NO THANKS

[@paulbrodeur5485]

Let me point a little bit of bad news. The new Pathfinder sits on Nissan's D platform witch dates back to 2007. This is old enginering compared to almost all of its competiton. The engine is a mildly retuned version of the VQ35 , almost 25 years old technology... The infotainement uses the same logic as before, only the presentetion seems more modern.Only the transmission is really new here. I'm driving a 2017 Murano (same platform and engine) that I bought with a huge discount in january 2018; I'm interested for this new Nissan but only at a price that reflect its lack of real novelty aka much lower than retail once the novelty factor will wear off.

[@IamJay02]

I love the new pathfinder it looks really nice imo.

[@georgiaboi22]

I appreciate the objectivity in your videos, Doug. The 9-speed tranny makes me seriously consider it. I like your idea that the Pathfinder should be more brawny, however I do wonder how well that would work out for them seeing that Pathfinder has never truly been synonymous with that. When Nissan fans wanted brawny they bought Xterra if you remember. Definitely the best Nissan they e rolled out in a long while; even better than their Titan Platinum

[@DavidDatura]

The new styling is nice and I’m impressed by the room available in the second row. Oh and the release mechanism for those second row captains chairs to access the third row, is cool too. But when it comes to everything else, Nissan’s competitors seem to do it better.
