2022 Nissan Pathfinder Overview

Buyers looking to find a mid-size third-row SUV might want to check out the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder in Salina. Here at Marshall Motor Company, we have a lot of vehicles to fit some pretty diverse needs, and the all-new Pathfinder is a vehicle with robust appeal. As a dealership serving Salina McPherson Hutchinson Wichita, we know buyers are looking for something durable and with a history of reliability. While there are a lot of all-new things on the Pathfinder, it still retains its 3.5-liter V6 engine, which is capable of putting out 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque. For the final few years of the previous generation, the Pathfinder struggled to find its foothold among buyers. The mid-size third-row SUV segment is absolutely packed with competitors, so it is fairly easy to get lost in the crowd. After taking a break for 2021, Nissan is back with the Pathfinder's new generation for 2022. This new Pathfinder looks different, inside and out. The body looks taller and more upright with a more athletic aesthetic. The previous continuously variable automatic transmission has been swapped out in favor of a nine-speed automatic transmission. The steering and suspension have been retuned for a smoother, more capable performance. The interior features more tech upgrades and some additional storage areas for easy organization of small items. Is the 2022 Pathfinder the right SUV for you? Read on and learn more.

The Pathfinder's exterior is certainly a lot different than the outgoing one. It is taller and boxier with thinner taillights on the rear. The front bumper also looks more modern with its narrowed LED headlights and larger grille. You will still see the signature three-sided trim surrounding the grille, but the entire front end looks more aggressive.

Interior - 2022 Nissan Pathfinder in Salina KS

The 2022 Pathfinder's interior is riddled with comfort. Since Nissan decided to retune the suspension for this generation, the ride quality should be markedly improved over that of the outgoing generation (which was known for being somewhat choppy). The cabin is pleasantly quiet at highway speeds. Also, the boxy exterior design carries over to the interior. The panels are wide and massive, creating the illusion of there being even more space than there really is. A huge touchscreen display and an available digital instrument panel make the cabin look contemporary. A small electronic version of the old traditional console-mounted shifter moves in and takes up a lot less space. The new steering wheel has a flat bottom and thin outer rim, looking more taut than its predecessor. There is some neat mirror-esque trim that serves as a great alternative to a glossy black veneer. Many of the commonly touched surfaces are soft, so do not expect to find too many hard plastics inside the cabin.

Nissan Pathfinder Mechanical specs

One of the most important things to know about the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder is that you can get it in front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). FWD comes standard, but if you plan on taking the Pathfinder out for some light off-roading, then AWD is where it is at. Along with the AWD system comes a slew of drive modes: Snow, Sand, Mud/Rut, and Tow. Each one caters to a different terrain. The system will remain in FWD until there is some slip detected, then it will switch over to AWD by engaging the rear wheels. Mud/Rut combined with hill descent control makes for an exciting off-road performance. However, you will need to bear in mind that the Pathfinder only has 7 inches of ground clearance, so be careful with your terrain. But, with the revised steering and suspension, the ride across any surface should feel smooth and comfortable enough.

Let's talk power. Anyone familiar with the former generation of Pathfinders will recognize the 2022 model's 3.5-L V6 engine. It now comes paired up with a 9-speed automatic transmission since Nissan decided to kick the old CVT to the curb. While CVTs are generally a little more fuel efficient, they often do not help generate a whole lot of "oomph". This new 9-speed takes care of that problem and shifts gears quite smoothly.

Safety - 2022 Nissan Pathfinder dealer

The previous generation of Pathfinders typically got high scores on its safety tests, and we expect that to carry over for 2022. For 2020, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) assigned the Pathfinder a full five stars overall. Also, the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety (IIHS) gave it many "Good" marks. The safety features offered this year should really hit the sweet spot for anyone wanting to buy a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder in Salina. Nissan's Safety Shield 360 suite of driving aids comes equipped on each trim level. This bundles together blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, and forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking. The SV adds ProPilot Assist, which has lane-centering assist and adaptive cruise control. On the SL trim, ProPilot Assist gets Navi-link added - a feature which uses mapping to adjust the cruise control's speed on the drop of a dime (like when you need to make a panic stop).
