The New 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Is a Surprisingly Impressive Family SUV

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.

[@chiemekaa]

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.

[@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]

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.

The infortainment looked pretty responsive to me also most people set up everything the way the want it and rarely play around with it anyways.you are way off about the looks, it looks amazing.

[@RafaelPernia]

Looks awful and cheap. Buttons, bezels and fonts

[@smartbutt10]

I like how he's says "there's no dedicated home screen" whilst constantly pressing the button to go to the dedicated home screen... that can also be configured to show anything you need it to - phone, nav, audio, etc

[@fpspowell5740]

The transmission change is nice. Hopefully they do a off-road trim option

[@paulmitchell8714]

They did 😀

[@comeberza]

17:00 the logo isnt the complete emblem, just the white outline, but they are doing kind of a progressing change. They now paint the new on the old one but I think they will ditch the old one when everybody more or less knows the new logo

[@girlnextdoor603]

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! 😊

[@kaiserfoxi266]

Yeah the ceiling vent critique was dumb, they work just fine

If he drove our european brands familiar midsize SUVs he would rate them at -17 and he would be right. Our NEW peugeot 5008 is cool, good looking, luxurious inside but dreadfully, dangerously slow.

Test drove one 2 weeks ago, I was very impressed and it was only a base model. Anyone else really love Doug?

[@Jason-zc9on]

I wouldn’t have considered a Pathfinder before but Nissan did a great job. Theres a lot of practicality. I love the flip forward second row that is car seat friendly. That’s one of my biggest gripes with my Telluride. Actually, the x7 and GLS should incorporate a similar mechanism- it’s so much more practical than waiting a minute for a power seat to slowly operate

[@MGK-qj9yb]

Seems like Doug is in a great mood. Like he got some good news before he made this video.

& a telluride just feels cheap compared to the pathfinder. The feel of the interior, the weight of the doors. Pathfinder feels solid. Telluride feel like a tin can

@@yosemite1464 what’s funny? Chances are you haven’t been inside of either vehicle if you think otherwise

I'm surprised Doug didn't point out the 3 spaces above the front grille, little throwback quirk.

Tried the telluride too boxy with a mini van feels Seats way more comfortable than Kia bought the platinum black edition love it it .looks way more sporty. Off road look

[@HypocriticYT]

Doug is a professional back seat passenger getting in and outer, and makes getting in look easier than actually is!!!!

[@packardcaribien]

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.

[@comeberza]

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

[@JL-sm6cg]

Imagine signaling to switch lanes...and you can't cancel it afterwards? You become one of my biggest pet peeves on the road; the person whose turn signal is still going and he or she doesn't realize it.

[@northernchaotic7196]

I keep my 97 Pathfinder for sentimental reasons-- we took many vacations in that SUV... Not the most comfortable car to travel long distance though.

[@davevq]

Missed the 3 slots in the grille as a throwback to the original Pathfinder

[@jamesnall569]

Also the 3 slots pays tribute to the earlier Nissan Hardbody pickup trucks

[@SodiumWage]

Can't wait to see 35 of these in the local Target parking lot

[@Sonickrunch]

Personally I don't see it wanting to be "rugged", it looks way more elegant, the lines are clean and the panels are nicely glossy. Looks more like they are going more for a CX-9 competitor in that way.

[@Dawninha]

Hi! Doug, you can customize what you want to see in the main screen. I have a Qashqai and I have in the main screen map, radio and a couple of buttons to stuff I used the most. :)

Thanks for the review! Will you also be doing a tour of the new 2022 Infiniti qx60? Would love to see that comparison!

The floor mats on the back of the 3rd row seats is genius. I haven’t seen that before, would love it for my car.

[@Rookheimer]

Love Nissan's comeback for this year

[@dontelljackson9364]

I’m one of the few that loves the old Pathfinder as much as the new one. I’ve got 197,000 miles on my 2017 SL and all I’ve ever replaced was brakes, belts, and oil changes. When you drive 40-50k miles a year, the Pathfinder is extremely comfortable. I’ll likely trade in the 2017 for a 2022 in a few months after inventory levels recover.

[@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.

[@chrismanlawe2528]

True. It looks like they copied the Hyundai Palisade. But the palisade does everything better. The body lines, the under console storage, the 2nd row release feature, the integrated roll up shade in the 2nd row, etc. all copied from the Palisade

[@hollyhowdeshell4375]

you can customize your home screen to have your phone, map, music and more

[@79bnice]

As someone who owns the previous model Pathfinder, this is a nice design, good job Nissan.

[@marty5300]

I bought a pathfinder a couple years ago after checking out all the rivals, and the pathfinder had the best mix of value and room. I have 3 kids and there's a TON of space for all of them. Great family vehicle. No cvt problems yet (knock on wood) and I've been really happy with the car. The pathfinder is really an underrated vehicle if you're looking for a roomy family hauler.

[@mog7501]

I never understood what old guys meant when they said "All cars today look the same" until now. And I'm only 19. They really do all look exactly the same now.

[@mihi68]

Joint developed with the Mitsubishi outlander. Looks very similar from the back

[@303sebas3]

They really do

[@skylarmccune9242]

I disagree. There are design elements that are appearing on each type of vehicle, but there’s literally no resemblance between a Pathfinder and a CX-9, for just one example. Frankly, that saying is just a lazy way of saying “I don’t like how vehicles are styled these days”

[@ShaiyanHossain]

As long as its a choice. A single color exterior is fine with me.

As a Nissan salesman I'm a bit disappointed you didn't mention anything about the ProPilot Assist. With these family road trip SUVs that's been one of my biggest selling points. The fact that the car drives itself is amazing.

@@asmokingp3005 It is a hands-on driver assistance.

Completely missed the fact that the transmission changed away from CVT to normal shifting and fuel economy increased dramatically. Nissan engines, especially V6 are made in Decherd TN and are the best.
