General materials quality is average for the segment, which speaks to how good the segment is. Although the range-topping Platinum trim level you see up there is its best foot forward, complete with handsome two-tone leather/pleather all over the place, even lower trim levels benefit from the same handsome design, thoughtful storage and user-friendly technology. What are the Pathfinder interior and in-car technology like? This is arguably the Pathfinder’s best attribute. You can read more about what’s new in our 2022 Nissan Pathfinder first drive. Think about it as the bones being the same, but it gets totally new skin and clothing.

The Pathfinder isn’t quite “all-new.” Despite the preceding generation lasting much longer than usual, its underlying platform and 3.5-liter V6 carry over. We’d still choose a Kia Telluride, Hyundai Palisade, Toyota Highlander Hybrid or Jeep Grand Cherokee L first, but among the second tier of alternatives, the Pathfinder should definitely be considered. That makes it a more appealing and slightly better family hauler. In short, the new Pathfinder is more in keeping with the nameplate’s first three generations in vibe, if still totally different in concept and engineering. It still isn’t our top pick in the segment, but we’re also no longer put off. The driving experience has also been dramatically improved from its rather unfortunate predecessor, with the highlight being a new nine-speed automatic replacing the old CVT. Interior space is obviously ample considering it’s a three-row SUV, but it’s also merely average in terms of third-row and cargo space. Its interior is more modern in appearance, materials quality and technology content – it’s even one of the best in the segment in that regard. The 2022 Pathfinder is still a seven-passenger crossover, and although it continues to fall into “paths already found” camp, its bolder, more chiseled appearance is at least more in keeping with Pathfinders of old. Now, the Pathfinder has been redesigned again and for the first time in the nameplate’s 37-year existence, it’s maintaining its architecture and seat count from one generation to the next. It’s been a vehicle actually capable of finding paths and one that’s better suited to using well-paved paths already found. It has oscillated between body-on-frame and unibody (crossover) architecture, and has grown in size and seat number. The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder may possess one of the oldest SUV nameplates, but the actual vehicle itself has changed wildly over the years.
