The all-new 2022 Pathfinder looks to the future with a return to its roots. Venture far past the pavement with the new rugged Intelligent 4x4 System and seven Drive and Terrain Modes. Standard Nissan Safety Shield 360 adds confidence wherever you go, while elevated interior appointments and cutting edge tech means first-class comfort for your next adventure. The redesigned Pathfinder interior was crafted to feel like sanctuary after a long day on the trails. With three rows, and the EZ FLEX Seating System that lets the 2nd row tilt and slide even with a car seat attached, your only worry will be getting a word in. William Walker, with MOTORTREND saiddont be fooled by these images. Although the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder traversed a dirt road during our photoshoot, this redesigned, fifth-generation model is not a return to its rugged roots. Nor is it intended to be. The Pathfinder remains a roadgoing three row SUV purpose-built to carry people or things. For that, it has space and equipment to get the job done. And in our testing it posted numbers that equal or better many of its rivals. Family-oriented features remain the Pathfinder's forte. The wide rear doors provide ample space to climb through or reach into. On top trims like our Platinum test vehicle, they have deployable sunshades. The roomy second-row captain's chairs have one-touch buttons that lift and slide the seats forward even with a child seat mounted, allowing super-simple access to the third row. Rearmost legroom is tight with the adjustable middle row fully aft, there is enough width back there to allow three smaller passengers to sit side by side and sliding the second-row forward provides enough room to accommodate adults for a short trip.
