2022 Nissan Pathfinder | Midsize SUV Family Review
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Thanks to my day job at Kelley Blue Book, I drive and review lots of cars. This 2022 Nissan Pathfinder is one of them. The Pathfinder competes with midsize 3-row SUVs like the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Kia Telluride. In this video, we drive the Nissan Pathfinder to review its positives and negatives from a family perspective.

This is so much better than the previous model. The styling is great. The practicality of the interior features are definitely everyday and family friendly. The pricing is reasonable. Not to mention the mpg is competitive. The only complaint I can see is the infotainment/tech that does seems to be slower than it’s competitors.

That's an unlikely thing just because it is best in class for power and towing. My guess is it's faster unless its significantly heavier.
This Pathfinder looks SO much better than the previous generation. Loving the brawny new looks!
I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 224,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.

finally someone made a review of a family car with a family!
Seems like a really functional SUV. Also, I never realized how much your daughter looks like Micah. Beautiful family.
Evie's editing is 👌. 🙃💭🐯🐱🍌
Review aside, it's nice to see a family that actually seems happy together... Can't fake it.
I'll also add that Nissan and other manufactures should make LED exterior and interior lights standard. No more incandescent blinkers! Lol!

I think it’s to save money but also when you’re out of warranty sure would suck to have to pay about $1000 for a whole new headlight, whenever it’s only your turn signal that went out.

@@NissanAltimaGuy the turn signals in the lower models (such as the model in the video) are bulbs. Led bulbs are extremely cheap. Led light bars are a completely different story. Most of those are lit via a chip and are little more expensive. Now the expense to replace both types depends on what the stealership charges for labor and parts, and how unnecessarily complicated the manufacturer designs the housing. Doesn't change the fact the led bulbs are cheap for manufacturers to provide.
Absolutely LOVE your family drive/reviews! Come for the car stay for the hilarious and adorable interactions. 😁
Never ever have been a nissan fan or even considered buying one for my growing family, but they have my attention now. I will definitely be taking a closer look at this!

same here, just got SL for msrp. I am very impressed and engine - transmission is great.
I really like this! It’s nice to see Nissan bring some new things to the game. It’s been a while.
I went to a local auto show this past weekend. I was really pretty certain on an RDX as our next purchase, but once I saw the Pathfinder, at $47k, and the additional space it has, it kind of threw a wrench in my RDX plans. Really loving this car. I came back to look at it 3 times throughout the show.
Glad to have this review come up in my feed. Nice to see your family having fun reviewing. We pick ours up this week. Thanks for the review
Speaking for everyone that has a family w/ multiple kiddos…thank you so much😂
Love the new Pathfinder! Thank y’all for the review! Lmfao when she said “and that we all don’t have to listen to you complain about the Cvt” 🤣
Favorite car review channel!
Also what i love is that on the Pathfinder @ Rogues, NO STUPID AUTO/STOP feature
It brings some much needed improvements and updates while remaining completely practical.
Saw one in my rearview mirror yesterday. That grill with those led DRL looked amazing and got presence! Love the new style!
Awesome video guys!😸
I’ll take this over the Telluride simply because of its towing capacity. Ruggedness /capability is more important than some family speaker interaction audio. Reality over gimmicky!

This vehicle might be more rugged (although there isn't really evidence of that), but it does have a lot more gloss black. The main reason I would pick this over the Telluride/Palisade is that Nissan usually has a lot of dealer incentives and it has slightly better fuel economy

Looks very decent for a Nissan, well thought out.
Is it just me or is your daughter getting taller with every video. Its been really enjoyable to watch her grow up and give more input over the last couple years. Another great review from a great family!
Our 04 R50 was unstoppable. Taco bell curbs, things on the highway, it ran over everything, but had difficulty passing a gas station. Still sad we departed with it after 13 years and this "new" Pathfinder is a welcome sight and has the potential to put a Nissan back in the garage
Looks like a Pathfinder again and with no CVT is a winner, great vehicle!
Great review🤘🏻
I absolutely love the design
Absolutely love it Had the last 2 generation. This new one its awesome like it very much
Nissan has really step up there game with this pathfinder. Getting rid of the CVT was the smartest idea yet. The murano is well overdue for a redesign.
"Let's do this before our GoPro overheats" Micah already started with the jokes 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excellent review as always. I like it okay... But it makes me want a Telluride.
You did a great review on this vehicle.

First of all, thank you for such a great review on this vehicle Micah! I've been a fan of yours ever since I started watching the Kelly Blue Book videos on KZread! Oh, and of course, I'm a fan of Lyn and the rest of the crew as well! 😁 But, yeah, the 2022 Pathfinder is a pretty darn good SUV as far as I'm concerned. I drove a 2019 Pathfinder, which wasn't too bad at all itself, but the 2022 Pathfinder is a different animal! I feel that there's still some room here and there for improvements, but overall, it's pretty good! Thank you always Micah!

I have a 2022 platinum and it drive great. We drove it from New Jersey to Georgia and we had a great ride
I have the 2016 pathfinder SL beautiful car I love it but this model dame Its so beautiful I can't resist to say this is the most beautiful looking nissan inside out.
Love that deep blue paint color. Its a good looking truck, and a huge improvement over the last generation
Can't wait to get it
I love the styling.
I’ve got a 2020 Altima, coming from a 2017 Rogue. With this new styling, I am compelled to get a pathfinder next!

Telluride ride is to firm and bumpy why does nobody point this out
The new Pathfinder is really cool inside and out!
Got some really good running shots. That blue is 👌🏾. Overall, it seems like the new Pathfinder is just GOOD, in a good way if that makes sense. Even though it doesn’t check all of the boxes, it checks the most important ones and leaves the gimmicks alone. Good solid styling but nothing over the top and it will age well. And the interior is really practical and well laid out with a high dose of quality materials. But there is a lot of piano black plastic.
Lol is it Me or is Evie getting pretty punchy with her automotive standards quips and comparisons? The confidence of knowledge is coming through very clearly. Micah, you might be able to take some videos off soon enough :) lol even your daughter doing the elbows up!? You're in trouble. Ps. I don't think you're getting a Go Pro sponsorship anytime soon.
Few have their taste think looks better than ongoing model. I never planned buying a Pathfinder as did like every generation now fifth generation is on my list. I have been driving a SUV for 6 years it's a Nissan. When get ready buy my Pathfinder going with the Platinum with light gray or Chestnut interior. So happy doesn't have a CVT anymore added a 9 speed automatic like the new logo. Think it's a beautiful vehicle perfect for family or someone wants a bigger car as me ever decide go fishing be perfect car towing my boat or traveling using RV nice hauling, love the styling even rear is gorgeous.
Former Nissan Owner of 3 Nissan...Yep not prefect cars but i had the best experiences with any problems i had..Nissan took care of me.
Everyone who complained about the CVT before better go out and buy this rig. Watch the sales number be no different than the previous Gen.
Heres a tip, If you want to turn off the rear speakers the function is called a fader, all radios have one.

9 speed auto...? YES! Getting rid of the flippin CVT is a fantastic move. It's still a crossover, but it just got better!
About time Nissan . Giving what consumers asking, room, towing, decent mpg, modern look in & out. Imo this Nissan model will sell .
I and my wife are outdoors type people. We love the new Pathfinder. And will be buying one soon. Only let down to us is no PRO-X model.
Brave of you to bring up The Last Jedi. That movie is such a hot topic debate!
I’ve looked at the competition. I keep coming back to the Pathfinder.
Soooo much better than the outgoing model!
Micah, maybe you could try some heat resistant material or some sort of cover on the gopro to keep it out of the direct sun light, I bet that would help.
💘 the style on the Pathfinder @ both Rogues
Synopsis: The 2022 Pathfinder plays it safe when other car manufacturers are playing fast and loose. Sure, it may not bring anything innovative to the table, but for 99% of your drive, you just want things to work and hope that the latest and greatest "feature" isn't a ploy by R&D for something marketable down the road.
I like the fact they got rid of that CVT transmission. I have a 2015 Murano and I would love to upgrade to this just because of that CVT
very nice car Nissan work on this cuv very well and no CVT thanks Nissan, i drive 2021 TOYOTA Highlander XSE, enjoy driving Pathfinder Guys👌✌
LOVE IT
My next company car, blue color too. Woohoo. The only problem is the 6 month wait due to shortage.
Love this vehicle
Family reviews matter! I really like the new Pathfinder. If I were in the market looking for a Mid-Size SUV this would be my first choice. BUT! I already have the R52 Pathfinder platinum and it is solid, if it’s keep well maintained.. 😊
Nice family!!
I really like this Pathfinder but I wish it were more truck like as in the original. I’m excited to see the Xterra
Hi Micah, I've been following your Helicopter videos for the past year. Love all the ones around L.A. and O.C. Are you taking suggestions on upcoming flights? There is a Jeep gig at Bolsa Chica Beach next month. Nothing but wall to wall Jeeps in 4 parking lots. Would this be worth a flyover video?
I just bought the new Pathfinder. All the competition looks the same & glad the Pathfinder looks chiseled & rugged. It drives amazing plenty of power so comfortable. When I saw the debut of it & they ditched the CVT I thought it will be a great car. My family loves it! At least its not a Telluride that's all I see along with Highlander's.
Love it
I've driven the Explorer and I really liked it a lot. But the Pathfinder is styled as good or better and it's very competitive in the midsize class.
Please do a review on the 2022 Palisade Calligraphy please!
Love it! It’s very well done. Just missing Full LED lighting interior & exterior. I’m sure they did that intentionally. So in a few new model changes they can add it. So you will want to upgrade. Common practice by manufacturers
Just finished watching your Subaru Ascent video and then watched this pathfinder video. Immediately I notice it looks like the front row/seating space is huge compared to the Ascent. Like you are sitting on thrones, laid back, etc rather than the Subaru Ascent's more 'hugging' feel of the front seats.
Overall it looks nice, I would have liked if it the front grille was more v-shaped like other nissans.
Nissan nice. Beautiful inside out
Maybe if you direct the AC output to the defog registers rather than the dashboard registers the GoPros on the windshield would be in the line of fire and not overheat? They probably bake in the sun up there.
This is the best style 7 seater. I am not sure how the transmission is, as I keep on hearing the previous vehicle had transmission issue. But other than that, I would prefer it over other similiar vehicles
Thanks for reviewing this! Hope you are enjoying the new R44 and Iceland!
I think the styling is really handsome and modern without any of the weirdness and nastiness of typical toyota designs. If nissan can improve the reliability to pre renault levels ,it would be a best buy. Their new line up looks set to change their image.
Came here for the Pathfinder review, subbed for The Last Jedi reference.
I like this car. The only problem I see is the bump under the rear seats. When you slide the seats back for more room, it gets in the way of keeping a relaxed posture - this could be nit picking but I really didn't like that bump when I went to test drive.
I don't think shiny black plastic is all that controversial...it's my understanding that it is universally hated lol
I think the new Pathfinder looks great, inside and out, and I really like your tester's blue paint. I hope you can do a test of the new Mitsubishi Outlander for comparison. I saw a new Outlander parked across the street last night, and I must say it looks to be a vastly better, higher quality vehicle. The silver paint looked awesome as well, like it belonged on a much more expensive vehicle. Good things are happening. Now we just need the manufacturers to stop using shiny black plastic (my pet peeve as well). I hope GoPro knows about their overheating issues, since this is not good advertising for their cameras 😟

Good looking car. Is it the same 9 speed transmission that is in the Honda Pilot?
I think I like it, especially with the powertrain combination. V6 with a 9-speed sounds perfect. I would have also preferred the newer Rogue but it has a cvt and less than 200 hp. Boo boo.
How would you compare this to the MDX? I really value your opinion and would like to know.
I think you need a solar shield for the go pro. Air conditioned, yes. Shaded from sun, no.
Anything on this vehicle is better than my 2012 Nissan Versa 🤣. No complaints at all 🙌
Serious question..do u think the AC wasn't getting cool enough in the cabin that's why GO Pro was over heating..? I have seen other reviews that talk about AC not getting cold enough IN the 2022 Pathfinder...
I would be interested to know if this has an off road chops with the 4WD. Yes angles and clearance are not the best, but would value your opinion.
Great Video! I like the Telluride but the inside of the Pathfinder looks nice!
So much better than the last generation!
Very nice SUV imo.
Hi! I was curious on your take on the front row legroom with a backward facing carseat in the second row. I know you showed the video with a front facing carseat but wanted to see your opinion as a family, since we have a rear facing carseat. Thanks!

We're debating between the Traverse and the Pathfinder. Opinion? Looking for practical over bells and whistles.
What is the overall MPG? If there is a hybrid or plug-in hybrid then it would be a done deal for me.
I wish they have a hybrid version
I think we need more input from your pleasant little passenger 😄
For me who is living in a very hot weather area is it better to get the black roof top or a unicolor body ? Will it be extra hot inside the car from absorbing more sun rays ?
How is noise cancellation compared to old one ?
