Review and specifications
2024 Nissan Pathfinder
The three-row Pathfinder was redesigned for 2022 with a squared-off exterior, the latest infotainment technology, and an option for second-row captain's chairs. Overall, it's a significant improvement over its bland, clumsy predecessor. The 3.5-liter, 284-hp V6 now comes mated to a nine-speed automatic (replacing the previous CVT), together delivering smooth and effortless propulsion. The ride is steady if a bit stiff-legged, but handling is responsive for a midsized SUV. Controls are easy to use, thanks to physical buttons and knobs for commonly-used climate and infotainment functions. Many active safety and driver assist features come standard, including FCW, AEB with pedestrian detection, BSW, RCTW, and LDW. Nissan's ProPilot Assist active driving assistance system--which combines ACC and lane-centering--is optional up to 2025 model years but became standard for 2026.

Brand context
About Nissan
<p>Nissan's SUVs, pickup trucks, and EVs usually perform well in our road tests, but their Overall Scores can suffer because of up-and-down reliability and average to below-average owner satisfaction. Inconsistent quality across the brand means some Nissans are a better choice than others. Many of its gasoline vehicles use small turbocharged engines and continuously variable transmissions to give owners both competitive fuel economy and sporty performance. Most new Nissans come standard with a full suite of active safety and driver assist systems. Used Nissans typically have average reliability according to our surveys.</p>
