Though not as prominent as segment leaders like the Toyota Highlander, Kia Telluride, or Honda Pilot, the latest iteration of Nissan's three-row Pathfinder is recognized as one of the model's most impressive renditions yet. The 2022 redesign introduced a bolder aesthetic with its squared-off lines, narrower lighting, and prominent badging, shedding its former rounded crossover look for a robust truck-like presence. This transformation didn’t stop at just looks; the current Pathfinder boasts a towing capacity of 6,000 pounds-eclipsing many competitors by an additional thousand pounds. This SUV also touts a spacious third row that comfortably accommodates adults, a feature not all rivals can boast.
The Pathfinder is an outstanding contender in the three-row midsize SUV segment, particularly in terms of value. It undercuts most rivals in price yet surpasses them in towing and third-row space (though it concedes some overall cargo capacity). While priced similarly to Ford Explorer's base trim level, the latter could potentially see a redesign and price increase by 2025. Kia's Telluride continues to top our rankings with its superior ride and extensive standard features. Others like the Honda Pilot, Mazda CX-90, and Volkswagen Atlas command higher prices but offer finer interiors and advanced technology.
