Most three-row crossovers live and die by their interiors. Cheap nostalgia aside, the Pathfinder looks much more muscular and planted than it did before thanks to those flares. Ditto the 2022 model’s bold, blistered wheel arches – they’re, like, totally radical. We don’t totally see the link in back, but the front grille’s three mail slots near the hood are a nice throwback to the Pathfinders of the 1980s and 1990s. Blackened A, B, and D-pillars join a body-color C-pillar on some models, giving the SUV a floating-roof effect that’s more interesting than other iterations of the overdone styling feature.ĭid Nissan Tease The Production 400Z During Pathfinder-Frontier Debut?Īround the rear, slim LED taillights make the crossover appear wider and more planted, and the convex hatch, resplendent with a silver “PATHFINDER” wordmark, is said to recall the first-generation SUV. No one could accuse its successor of the same, thanks to headlights with wild turn-signal eyebrows, a squared-off grille (that the company still calls “V-motion,” for some reason), and a flat hood that’s less minivan-like than the current Pathfinder. The outgoing Nissan Pathfinder is handsome enough, but it lacks personality. Though still a unibody crossover SUV with either front- or all-wheel drive, the new Pathfinder offers seven different terrain modes, as well as up to 6,000 pounds of towing capacity. The 2022 SUV should also be more enjoyable to drive since Nissan is throwing the old model’s droning continuously variable transmission in the scrap heap, replaced by a conventional nine-speed automatic gearbox.
Well, the wait is over – the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder is here, bringing the techno-chic curb appeal of the redesigned Rogue and facelifted Armada in midsize, three-row crossover form.Įdgy styling aside, the Pathfinder also adds a long list of safety and connectivity equipment to its roster, with family-friendly interior packaging and reasonable performance to boot. However, it’s also one of the oldest vehicles in the stable, begging for a significant overhaul for at least a few years. As one of Nissan’s best-selling vehicles, the Pathfinder SUV is hugely important to the brand.
