2022 Nissan Pathfinder Design

Performance & Specifications

A lot of changes have been made to the cabin for 2022. The new steering wheel has a flatter bottom and has a slender outer rim. The upper trim levels have high-quality materials with plenty of soft-touch surfaces. Hard plastics are relegated to areas that do not draw much attention. Also, there are now optional second-row captain's chairs on the Pathfinder. They offer better access to the third row, which is already fairly generous for a vehicle in this segment. Technology features make the experience even more pleasant.

Smartphone app integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto comes standard with the base touchscreen for seamless connectivity. Nissan's Safety Shield 360 provides you with abundant driver aids, including blind-spot monitoring, automatic emergency braking, and a lane departure warning. The ProPilot Assist upgrade on the SV trim and higher adds lane-centring assist and adaptive cruise control, providing further convenience and safety. On the SL trim, ProPilot Assist comes with a feature called Navi-link, which adjusts cruise control on the drop of a dime by utilizing navigation-linked maps.

The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder offers a performance that is strong but not overwhelming. It receives its power from a 3.5-litre V6 engine that produces 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. There is a new nine-speed automatic transmission that's equipped, according to Nissan, should provide smoother shifts than the outgoing continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Front-wheel drive (FWD) is the standard drivetrain on the Pathfinder, but there is an option for all-wheel drive (AWD). This AWD system comes with multiple drive modes: Mud/Rut, Snow, Sand, and Tow. This system is primarily FWD until it detects a slip.

Then, it engages the rear wheels. This configuration means that the Pathfinder can do some off-roading, but with 7 inches of ground clearance, it is somewhat too low to the ground for any serious off-roading adventures. As far as its performance goes, the powertrain is not noisy. The Pathfinder is virtually soundproof from engine, wind, and road noise. It might be one of the quietest cabins in its class. It can quickly get you up to speed on the highway in about 6.7 seconds, which matches what some of its top competitors can do. Overall, the ride comes off as being smooth and comfortable, making it a great daily commuter.

Towing & Payload Capacity

Most of the 2022 Pathfinder models can tow a maximum of 3,500 pounds. The standard sway control can help keep your trailer from swaying side-to-side behind you as you drive. On the SV and SL trim levels, you have the option of adding on a towing package that boosts the maximum towing capacity up to 6,000 pounds and a payload rating of 1,324 pounds. This rating puts the 2022 Pathfinder in a top spot for towing in its segment.
