There are also the requisite Nissan ProPilot Assist driver aids, including lane-centering, intelligent adaptive cruise control, speed limit assist and a few other goodies. Inside this Platinum version of the Pathfinder, we find all the niceties you can get for the model: leather seating with contrast-colour stitching, digital gauge cluster (that could use a little sprucing up it’s fairly tame style-wise, and can’t be re-configured), 9-inch NissanConnect infotainment (8-inch is standard), navigation, AroundView parking camera with selectable views and tri-zone climate control The rear, meanwhile, is dominated by massive “Pathfinder” scripting and full-width taillamps, which provides a unique look - and that’s not something easily achieved in the SUV/CUV world. Which is too bad because after all, the original Pathfinder did share many of its bits with the Nissan Hardbody pickups of the era. The situation changes a bit when the front fascia gets involved it looks closer to what you’d find on a Rogue than what you would on the new Frontier pickup, for example.

The Nissan, though, has arguably had the biggest transformations – that’s transformations, plural – over the five generations through which it’s passed since it debuted in the mid-1980s.īack then, it was a body-on-frame mini truck with back seats instead of a pickup bed.
It’s a nameplate that has endured ever since SUVs really hit the big time, with the Nissan appearing alongside the likes of the Toyota 4Runner and Ford Explorer, the real pioneers of the genre. The Nissan Pathfinder is one of the more interesting case studies when it comes to modern SUVs or crossovers. Auto123 reviews the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder.
