2022 Nissan Pathfinder

Engine Type

No matter which path life takes drivers on, they can rest assured that the 2022 Pathfinder has their back. The remarkable 3.5L DIG (Direct Injection Gasoline) V6 engine gives the Pathfinder every bit of power that drivers will need on the road. Whether cruising along the highway, taking a long road trip, or towing a large and heavy watercraft, the engine combined with the vehicle will give drivers endless power and capability. An all-new nine-speed automatic transmission allows for quicker response and enhanced control when behind the wheel of the Pathfinder. It is also the reason behind the maximization of its fuel economy, ensuring nothing ever goes to waste. Additional paddle shifters help optimize any trip with quick shifts right at the driver’s fingertips. 

Drivers can experience great power and even greater towing capacity thanks to the V6 engine that allows the 2022 Pathfinder to produce 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque, as well as allowing the vehicle to tow up to 6,000 pounds, allowing them to bring just about anything they want with them no matter the destination or journey. The available seven driver-selectable modes include a Tow Mode that brings Downhill Speed Control, helping to reduce hunting gears for smoother towing. Among the other drive and terrain modes are the Sand Mode, Sport and Eco Modes, the Snow Mode, and the Mud/Rut Mode.

Driving and Handling

Drive like a pro with the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder, as enhanced features allow smooth and confident control when driving through any environment. The technologies that work behind the scenes on the Pathfinder will allow drivers the confidence to maneuver through anything, and make the drives easier, smarter, and even more efficient. Buyers can look forward to the Idle Start/Stop feature, which allows the Pathfinder to shut off the engine to preserve fuel, the Electronic Parking Brake with Auto-Hold that allows the Pathfinder to hold the brakes without needing a foot on the pedal, and the Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist that prevent rollback and control the speed the vehicle travels at when on a steep hill. 

Exterior Features

The new 2022 Pathfinder is longer, wider, and much taller than ever before. A beautiful, blunt front end gives it a more truck-like appearance while the rear is more aggressively designed to handle all of the power it has. The Pathfinder boasts some beautiful colorways, with four different two-tone shades and ten monotone shades. The two-tone shades include Scarlet Ember Tintcoat / Super Black, Boulder Gray Pearl / Super Black, Gun Metallic / Super Black, and Pearl White TriCoat / Super Black. Some favorites of the monotone shades are definitely the Deep Ocean Blue Pearl, Obsidian Green Pearl, Glacier White, Brilliant Silver Metallic, and the Mocha Almond Pearl. 

The signature Lightning Running Lights return to the 2022 Pathfinder, and these LED lights run even in the daytime, adding extra style to the vehicle as drivers cruise along. Also added to the vehicle to give it all the more pizazz are new 20-inch wheels that have machine-finished alloy and are lightweight and strong to withstand any and every journey it takes.

Interior Features

With enough legroom to fit up to eight passengers, the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder offers everyone in the family the comfiest ride possible. It boasts a luxurious interior with the availability to choose between a second-row bench or a set of captain’s chairs. The second row was designed with the EZ FLEX seating system to allow the second-row chairs to slide forward and tilt with two easy moves (even with a child seat in place). The drivers weren’t forgotten when it comes to easy comfort, with the Driver’s seat  Memory system that allows them to set their seat, steering wheel, and outside mirrors to their liking and can even be set for up to two people. 

The Pathfinder allows passengers to enjoy a scenic view of the stars or the sun, thanks to the panoramic moonroof from all three rows. It’s a vehicle built to give comfort to all, thanks to the Tri-Zone Automatic Climate control (that allows three separate climate zones to be controlled by passengers), Remote Engine Start (designed to allow everyone to enter a cool and comfortable vehicle), Rain-sensing wipers, Climate-controlled front seats, and even second-row heated seats! The  2022 Pathfinder was designed with the whole crew in mind, offering more storage than ever, especially with the second-row center console that can even be removed if needed.

Standards

Enjoy the head-up display offered in the Pathfinder, that keeps the driver’s eyes on the road while displaying essential information including speed, next-turn directions, and more, directly on the windshield. Additionally, buyers can add the 12.3-inch widescreen digital dashboard that has been enhanced for even more information at the driver’s fingertips, even giving turn-by-turn directions, a map display, driving aids information, and so much more. The touchscreen display in the center allows for wireless connectivity, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and allows for easy navigation through the Nissan Door to Door, Google Maps, and even Waze. Buyers can enjoy wireless charging in the front seats right in front of the shifter, and USB ports are now available in the second row. 

Feel safe with the features that the Pathfinder has incorporated into the vehicle for the entire family. Peace of mind comes standard with the Safety Shield 360 that includes favorites like Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, and High Beam Assist. The Pathfinder keeps drivers alert and on top of everything at all times!

Safety Features

While there are four trims to choose from (The Pathfinder S, the Pathfinder SV, the Pathfinder SL, and the Pathfinder Platinum), it is recommended to consider taking the Platinum trim home as it offers a plethora of additional features. All the standards are included within this trim, and buyers can enjoy the leather-trimmed seats and the panoramic moonroof all in one. The Platinum trim also receives the Bose Premium Audio system as well as the full head-up display mated with the Full Digital TFT, without needing to worry about adding it later. The 2022 Pathfinder Platinum is the best choice for every journey.
