Yeah but trust me, i put my kid 4ever car seat in the seat and hit the button and you barely get enough room to enter the back unless they children. You can only fit 2 car seats in the back (and not next to eachother). Unless you got Booster seats you wont get 3 car seats in the back and with 2 on each side youll never be able to drop the 3rd row. Thats why i need a SUV w a big trunk like the Escalade ESV, Wagoneer or Minivan.

[@MizzouRah78]

Hi. Could you elaborate? My wife and I both like the Telluride, but then I ran across the Pathfinder and I'm seriously considering it. I especially like the caramel interior in the platinum version. Plus, with everyone and their 5th cousin getting a Telluride, it's nice to have something a little different than the majority.

[@adamcallahan242]

@@MizzouRah78 well we were looking at the telluride for the space. Its my wife and I our three girls, but we have have any number of our nieces and nephews. I also coach youth sports, so the pathfinder definitely delivers on space and accommodations (we got the bench middle row instead of captains chairs). It's a great ride and gets excellent mileage for such size of a vehicle. Very agile, and maneuverable, and of course I off road wherever possible and especially dodging waiting traffic. Plenty of storage all over the truck, not to mention how aesthetically pleasing it is. Its really just a well designed and thought out vehicle. Everything we were looking for in the telluride we got in spades with the pathfinder. We've had it for about 18 months and still get hella compliments daily. (All black everything, and it wasn't an extra charge like the telluride nightfall package is). Sidenote, I was at our dealership 2 weeks ago, and saw a white platinum with the pecan interior, my God was it beautiful 😍 If you're still looking, grab a pathfinder and don't look back. Also, the new infinity qx60 is built on the same platform/chassis and is also quite the looker with great interior, Essentially an upgraded pathfinder.

[@CMUBruin]

I live in Southern California and every dealer is charging a 10k market adjustment over MSRP on higher trim Tellurides. It’s unreasonable to pay that much for a non-luxury brand SUV.

[@wbwayne8887]

Exactly, same reason we ended up buying a 2020 Palisade instead. Hyundai dealers were much more willing to deal at the time. All of the packaging goodness and same platform/powertrain of the Telluride, combined with an arguably better designed and more user friendly interior design. Love it so far after 30K miles.

[@coolyjavon591]

That's because they're so popular... But to be fair they have standard features

[@CMUBruin]

@@wbwayne8887 I like the Palisade too and actually prefer the features of the top trim over the Telluride SX. The only think I don't like about it is the grille design.

[@wbwayne8887]

@@CMUBruin I agree about the grille, however I like the unique DRL light signature of the Palisade. I'm honestly not crazy about the front design of the Telluride either though. If anything, I like the white LED DRLs (lower trim) over the amber ones, however nothing stands out more than the amber.

I had the AC set to recycle the air from the inside air with AC button pressed and had it set to the lowest setting which was 60 degrees and the air did not feel crisp enough and would get warmer when u slowed down ,I also un pressed the AC button and that did not help..I own a 2015 Pathfinder SV and the air gets colder in it when I have it set to 70 degrees with the air being recycle from the inside air and the AC button is not pressed..Needless to say I was disappointed..matter of fact we help my mother in law buy a Nissan 2021 Kick last week and the AC gets colder then the New 2022 Pathfinder..Nissan please fix...Here in Texas if the AC isn't cold enough then nothing else matters with all the other new features...I definitely recommend testing one out on a HOT day before buying one..

[@SubUrbanNinja-EDC]

Pathfinder Rock Creek vs Pathfinder base SL In my opinion the Rock Creek is the best looking Pathfinder model. And because of the suspension tuning and tires, it is the most capable Pathfinder model. It has some features and options like tow hitch, fog lamps, cargo liner, thick roof rack, rear captains chair, heated front seats, remote start, and off road tires that not even higher trim models have standard. But, it lacks a lot of other feature and options that make the Pathfinder more luxurious like heated steering wheel, power lift gate, power front passenger seat, full leather seats, wireless charging pad, I found the base model SL had more of those options than the Rock Creek and cost only few thosand more with discount. The SL also has a softer and quieter ride than the Rock Creek. Because the Rock Creek has off road tires, it is more rugged and more suitable for driving on rougher roads. Ultimatelty I decided to buy the SL for daily comfort and more features. The Rock Creek is actually a comfortable and quiet ride despite the off road tires, but the SL was more quiet and more comfortable. Both are just as capable off road but the SL has dress shoes tires and the Rock Creek has on hiking shoes tires.

Makes it easier for kids to grab the handles. It seems Nissan really focused on the kid-friendliness of the pathfinder. You can also keep a child seat in place and still get into the third row. Something the Telluride can't do. Also, the placement of the buttons to move the seat is located low, again easier for kids to reach to get into the back.

For those three row mid-size SUVs, I'd like they can have a three seat second row, after all the third row is for children or small sized adults, so if you have five people on the trip one person has to sit in the third row, so the experience will be worse than sitting in the second row of a compact SUV.

@@caliber718 did you really just bring up JD power?? LMFAO, that shows you know nothing about cars. JD a power is an advertising company not real world reviews. Kia/Hyundai’s need a 10 year warranty because it’s junk. I will give you the perfect examples: My grandmother has a 2013 Elantra with 94,000 miles that she’s selling to Carmax tomorrow because it’s absolutely falling apart from the ground up and Half the time they never took care of anything under warranty. My Aunt has a 2014 Nissan Altima with 103,000 miles and it still runs and drives like new and she’s never spent a penny and repairs.

[@tedneanderthal7373]

The Pathfinder is all new? No. It's the same platform as the previous model with a different transmission (no CVT) and improved looks with upgraded mechanicals. It's not all new.

[@reyperez3424]

Then why called it redesign instead of refresh?

[@ccpout9210]

path won in the back exterior

[@Murfdigidy]

I can't find a telluride near me and given the new redesign that excited me. I figured I could get good value over a Palisade, Telluride, or highlander that are immensely popular and therfore overpriced because of their popularity. I like to go with underdogs that still provide value while people over pay for other brands. The problem is the Pathfinder falls short in quality and reliability. Consumer reports continues to rate Pathfinder a 1 out of 5 for reliability, that's just unacceptable. I'm currently leasing a frontier pro 4x, but some of the things consumer reports said were issues with the Pathfinder I'm starting to see in the pro 4x... The right window is slow to go up (which is absolutely pathetic given that it has less than 10k miles on it!!!). Also CR reported infotainment screen issues, going blank, not turning on always. I'm dealing with EXACTLY that on my pro 4x, again pathetic with under 10k miles on it. This concludes me that the new Nissan is just not what it once was, quality has fallen immensely. I won't be renewing my lease or getting into a pathfinder as a result. It's too bad cause this review almost had me, but based on my research, I'm steering clear of Nissan until I see improvements in quality and reliability.

I’m liking this 2022 pathfinder for sure.

[@mattspeer01]

Telluride is so much roomier inside, even though it is shorter overall. Telluride gives you 42 inches of 2nd row legroom, 31 inches of 3rd row legroom, and 21 cu-ft of cargo space behind the 3rd row at 196.9 inches long. The Pathfinder gives you 35 inches of 2nd row legroom, 28 inches of 3rd row legroom, and 16 cu-ft of storage space behind the 3rd row at 197.7 inches long. Pathetic effort on Nissan's part. Not only is the Telluride roomier, it is way more luxurious, more reliable, has a much longer warranty, has better driver assist tech, looks better both inside and outside, and will have far better resale due to the desirability.

[@TGravee]

You can if you driven both. Fact that Telluride still doesn't have digital instrument cluster is sad.

[@DJMontePGH]

I can. You can't even get a Telluride. I've tried to look at 3 and they sold before I got to the dealership. I priced a fully loaded Sorento ($43k) and the payments were going to be the same as the fully loaded Pathfinder ($48k). I'm not $5k over. I'm sure Nissan will mark the Pathfinder up to once they see they can't keep them in stock. That's why I am buying one now.

[@lSeKToRl]

@@DJMontePGH I had to book mine weeks before first one came and no choice in color just trim to get one first. Luckily I got a nice color. You can't get Kia not because of demand but because their Georgia factory keeps shutting down because of lack of components. Japanese manufacturers have better supply chains and in the case of Toyota, back up chips. Just in time manufacturing to cut cost is bitting Kia in the ass. The Sorento felt like a cheaper vehicle and smaller than the Pathfinder imho it is worth the 5K increase. I've gotten about 3-4 hours driving Sorento before I purchased Pathfinder. I only drove pathfinder for 30mins because I knew im sold.

They have an intercom for the driver to speak to the passengers so that everyone can hear each other better. AN INTERCOM... And have y'all seen the dash in a telluride?!

[@asatar2]

As with all other Nissan vehicles, the Pathfinder will have better availability and discounts than Kia. Nissan is a big mass production company and they cut prices like crazy, I've seen crazy low offers on the Murano, Altima and Sentra cars. Kia and Hyundai have been very greedy when it comes to negotiating prices, very low stock for both Palisade and Telluride. I don't see too many Telluride/Palisades on the streets here in NJ, not sure why but I think it will be much easier and affordable to get a Pathfinder down the road(maybe first year it will be expensive though).
