Redesigned, striking exterior
The 2022 Pathfinder received a thoughtfully crafted redesign. Every part of the vehicle was carefully reinvented for maximum power and performance. The strong front face, wide build, and blister fenders give the Pathfinder a powerful look that equally matches its robust powertrain. Large 20” wheels further push the rugged feel, as well as give the SUV strong off-roading capabilities. To tie it all together, the vehicle is finished with iconic Nissan signatures including the V-motion grille, C-shaped headlights, and floating roofline. In the rear, the 2022 Pathfinder features slimmer LED taillights and a staple, satin chrome “Pathfinder” logo.
For the first time, the Pathfinder can be purchased in five new two-tone paints. A total of 14 colors are available. In promotion photos, the two-toned Scarlet Ember with Super Black Metallic and the new Obsidian Green Pearl are flaunted. Both showcase the new Pathfinder’s striking exterior.
Dynamic, full-bodied powertrain
Looks aren’t everything, though. The SUV is just as modern in capability as it is in appearance. Every new 2022 Nissan Pathfinder comes standard with a 284-horsepower 3.5 liter Direct Injection V6 engine. Along with this, they feature all-new 9-speed automatic transmission, which together, creates a smooth, direct vehicle response. It also helps with fuel economy by consistently delivering the right gear at the right time. When you drive the Pathfinder, you drive with confidence.
When Nissan says the 2022 Pathfinder is “built for adventure,” they mean it. The SUV has a 6,000 lb towing capacity – plenty for towing boats, ATVs, trailers, or camp tents. Additionally, it comes standard with Trailer Sway Control. If that’s not enough, the 4WD models include Intelligent 4WD with 7 different driving modes. Challenging terrain? The system allows torque transfer directly on the clutch pack, allowing for an immediate take-off in low-traction situations.
The seven driving modes include Standard, Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand, Mud/Rut, and Tow. No matter which road you choose to venture on, the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder can handle it.
When designing the Pathfinder, Nissan wanted to deliver the highest quality driving experience. One way they’ve upped the ante is by updating the mount systems. The front update increases roll stiffness by 28 percent, while the updated shock absorbers and dampers in the back help increase rear roll stiffness by 14 percent. But, it doesn’t stop there. These renovations are coupled with a 50 percent increase in high-strength steel meaning drivers have a smooth driving experience each time.
The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder has a fuel economy of 21 MPG city, 26 MPG highway, and 23 MPG combined for 2WD models. For 4WD models, it’s rated 21 MPG city, 27 MPG highway, and 23 MPG combined.
Leading technology and safety features
Like every Nissan, the Pathfinder is equipped with the highest standard of technology and safety features. Every 2022 Pathfinder comes standard with the following safety features:
10 airbags (11 on Platinum models) Nissan Safety Shield 360 Blind Spot Warning Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection Rear Automatic Braking Lane Departure Warning High Beam Assist Intelligent Lane Intervention Intelligent Driver Alertness Intelligent Forward Collision Warning Traffic Sign Recognition
Certain trims, the Pathfinder SV and SL, offer Nissan’s innovative ProPILOT Assist. This is a hands-on, driver-assist technology that controls acceleration, braking, and steering. ProPILOT is best for stop-and-go highway driving and long drives on open highways. On Platinum grades, the ProPILOT assist is paired with Navi-link. Together, the navigation map data can proactively reduce speed for upcoming freeway curves and also help the driver slow for freeway exits.
In a culture that’s tech-savvy, the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder does not fall short. Each vehicle includes the following technology amenities:
9.0-inch color touchscreen NissanConnect featuring Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Bose Premium Audio with 13 speakers Intelligent Around View Monitor Wireless smartphone charging (select trims)
Spacious, comfortable cabin
The Pathfinder is just as robust inside as it is out. Drivers and passengers can enjoy a luxurious, comfortable environment with plenty of cargo space. Loading the family inside is also now easier with standard 8-passenger capacity. Even more so, there is an option for a 2nd-row captain’s chair.
While overall dimensions may be similar to previous models, careful design changes cleared up room for more interior volume. The 2022 Pathfinder now holds 164.6 cubic – over 10 more cubic feet from the previous model. Furthermore, the luggage box located under the cargo floor area has 54.1 liters of storage – up 20.8 liters from the previous model.
The Pathfinder does not skip out on comfort. Thicker glass, increased door isolation, and carpet with more cushion creates a quieter interior. On top of this, the Pathfinder features climate-controlled front seats, 2nd-row climate control, and heated rear seats.
Options for every lifestyle
The Pathfinder offers everything you need, no matter your lifestyle. Drivers can choose between 2WD and 4WD options, as well as four trim levels – S, SV, SL, and Platinum. The SV grade includes additional technology features, such as ProPILOT Assist. From there, the SL adds on Navi-link and wireless features. The Pathfinder Platinum rounds out the trims upgrading to a 12.3-inch digital dashboard, among other additions. A total of 35 accessories are available to optimize the adventure experience.
