![]() A V-6 engine is paired to a nine-speed automatic front-wheel drive is standard but buyers who plan to venture off-road will want the optional all-wheel drive system. To that end, the Pathfinder receives a comprehensive redesign for the 2022 model year, which Nissan is hoping will put its three-row mid-size SUV in contention with segment leaders such as the Hyundai Palisade, the Kia Telluride, and the Toyota Highlander. It has all the technology and safety features we expect (lane departure control, automatic cruise control and rear braking assist), while also feeling luxurious and sporty.Like many of today's three-row SUVs, the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder aims to be a replacement for a minivan, but with a rugged appearance and a bit of towing and off-road capability. Overall Nissan did a great job revamping the Pathfinder for 2022. I love this feature, but next time, Nissan, we’ll need a little more trunk space. Nissan did make excellent use of the space available though- there is an awesome extra deep lower storage space to load sports gear or groceries and still have room for a stroller. The Uppababy fits, but it’s stroller jenga. I brought my Uppababy Vista because I knew my double Mockingbird or jogger likely wouldn’t fit and I was right. Even with rear facing car seats in the second row, there’s plenty of clearance for a tall driver. Not only does it have a carseat-friendly tilt, but also has lower tether anchors on both captain’s seats and across all 3 seats in the third row. The seats recline making it even comfier and there are 2 cup holders and a USB charger on each side. However, Nissan was joking when they designed the third row with 3 seats-really only 2 people can fit back there. I could ride back there all day long and I’m almost 6 feet tall. The third row made me nervous because it looks tight, but with the second row forward on the track the third row has plenty of room. If the car seat-friendly tilt is a must-have for you make sure to double check it is compatible with your car seats. Thank you, Nissan! The car seat tilt works with forward and rear facing car seats, but they have to be installed using the lower anchors, which means that it’s not going to work with all car seats. And bonus-it’s activated by pressing a button from the third row or under the second row, which means a kid can press it and crawl into the third row themselves. This trim level of the Pathfinder has one of my favorite features-a car seat-friendly tilt. This trim level also has everything a pumping mom needs: plenty of head clearance, seats on a track so you can stretch out, and 3 outlets (USB, USB C and a regular outlet). The Platinum edition has it all for the second row, including captain’s chairs (the bench is offered in the lower trim levels), five cup holders for each passenger (this is no GMC Acadia), window shades, heated seats, climate control, and ceiling vents. There is space for my purse, iPad and lots of snacks.Ī couple small things I wish Nissan designed differently are the headliner-for a $51,000 car it should look a bit nicer-and the overhead lights-they are dim and are what you’d expect in an older car. What I’m most excited about is the storage space under the shifter. The center console has 2 good-sized cup holders and an average-sized storage compartment. ![]() The cubbies under the touch screen have wireless phone charging, a USB charger, a USB C with a 12 volt, and a little spot that perfectly fits my lip gloss. The side cubbies are A+, offering plenty of room for a large cup and more. The updated infotainment system is easy to use and integrates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, which you know I love. You’ll definitely need to stash a microfiber wipe in the glove box. The interior has so many beautiful details like the contrast stitching, heads-up display, and a glossy touch screen-though the black high-gloss screen will soon become fingerprint city. It wraps around the dash, door and on the luxurious heated and ventilated seats. Inside the Pathfinder is the most beautiful saddle brown interior that I’ve ever laid eyes on. Have you seen the Rivian headlights? Interior Front Row The crazier the headlights, the more stylish the car. ![]() The subtle hood lines are nice and the wrap-around headlights are fun. But I do wonder if this muted earth tone trend will date the car in a few years. It looks great with the chrome and black accents and hood rails. The muted gray color is definitely in right now and I love it. ![]() The exterior gives me off-road, rugged vibes, and it almost looks like a Land Rover Discovery or Hyundai Palisade. The Pathfinder got completely redesigned in 2022 and it does not disappoint. Nissan sent me a new 2022 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum Edition to drive for a week and spoiler alert-I love her. ![]()
