2022 Nissan Pathfinder SV

The 2022 Pathfinder is Nissan's three-row family SUV, slotting between the compact Rogue and the full-size Armada. It competes with the Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, and Kia Telluride in the crowded midsize SUV segment. The V6 pulls strongly and the nine-speed shifts smoothly, making the Pathfinder feel more athletic than its size suggests. The cabin offers generous space for up to eight, with a practical layout and easy access to the third row. Standard safety tech includes automatic emergency braking and blind-spot warning, with a large touchscreen on higher trims. The SV adds heated front seats, an 8-way power driver's seat, and ProPILOT Assist over the base S, skipping the leather and larger screen of the SL. Its 3.5L V6 makes 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, earning 23 mpg combined. The SV's cloth seats are comfortable for long trips, and the 3,500-pound towing capacity handles a small trailer or camper.
