Product Overview

Nissan Pathfinder Mk5 (chassis code R53) is a large crossover in production from 2021. It is available with a single V6 engine that displaced 3.5 liters.
Sharing the rather imposing styling of the Nissan Armada, the Pathfinder is essentially a re-bodied car with little to no offroad capabilities. Interestingly, Nissan still uses its old N/A V6 engine, which is a notable plus. However, it means that the Pathfinder cannot be sold in the more "woke" of regimes with the ridiculous "6d" emission standard.

The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder goes from an also-ran to a top contender among three-row crossover SUVs. Good driving dynamics, thoughtful interior design, and an impressive list of tech features make the Pathfinder stand out. The Pathfinder doesn't beat the competition on interior space, but Nissan makes good use of what it has.
Pros
  • Sleek interior design
  • Excellent tech features
  • Comfortable ride
Cons
  • Lack of underbody protection
  • Lacks a mechanical four-wheel drive
