The 2022 model year brings a new generation of the Pathfinder. This three-row midsize SUV still relies on a 3.5-litre V6 engine rated at 284 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque, but shifting is now handled by a nine-speed automatic transmission instead of a CVT. Towing capacity is a solid 6,000 pounds. Several advanced safety features are included as standard equipment, and so is ProPILOT Assist semi-autonomous driving technology.
Pros
- Max towing capacity of 6,000 pounds
- No more CVT
- Proven V6 engine
- Bold new looks
Cons
- No hybrid variant
- Third row is tight and hard to access
- Uncomfortable driver’s armrests
