“We closely analyzed every angle to make this vehicle as versatile as possible, while also delivering on rugged capability,” said Jared Haslam, vice president, Product and Services Planning, Nissan U.S. and Canada. “Our goal was to turn Pathfinder into a multi-tool on wheels – making this the go-to SUV for hard-working, adventurous families.”
“Whether it’s loading up at the hardware store, packing up for a family day trip to the trailhead or simply picking up the kids and their friends after practice, the all-new 2022 Pathfinder makes life less complicated and more adventurous,” he added.
Thanks to the additional interior volume, the all-new 2022 Pathfinder now offers easier cargo and family loading, and many other everyday utility benefits, including:
Room for up to eight passengers, a first on Pathfinder
Room for up to three car seats in the 2nd row, and two in the 3rd – a first on Pathfinder
Available captain’s chairs, a first on Pathfinder – with a no-tools-needed removable console, allowing items up to 7 inches wide to pass between the seats
Easier entry/exit to and from the 3rd row with Nissan’s EZ FLEX® one-touch seating, which now pitches the seat forward to provide a wide opening from driver or passenger side – even with a car seat attached1
Two additional inches of front seat legroom – now best-in-class 44.3 inches2
Nearly five additional inches of 3rd row hip room – now 46.7 inches
A new, easy-to-clean luggage box with a self-supporting hinge lid that offers 54.1 litres of storage space – up from 33.3 litres on the previous model
With 3rd row seats upright, the 4-foot wide cargo area easily fits four golf bags, a 134-litre cooler, or six TSA-sized carry-on suitcases3
With 2nd- and 3rd-row seats folded, the 4-foot wide cargo area allows users to slide in 4-foot wide sheets of plywood or like-sized items
The 2022 Pathfinder handles small items well, too. Thanks to a small, ergonomic electric shifter, the centre console now offers two storage areas – a traditional console and the new “bridge” pass-through area below it, which adds 13.4 litres of storage. The open pass-through area can conveniently accommodate items like a purse, a toolbox or a full-size tablet, while the traditional console area features space for smaller items. All told, the console area now offers 19.5 litres of storage – nearly three times as much as the previous model.
A new storage shelf sits above the glove compartment, perfect for phones, sunglasses, or like-sized items, and the glovebox features a strap to securely store the owner’s manual while offering additional storage space. Pathfinder also now features 16 beverage holders.
The all-new Pathfinder is an ideal family adventure vehicle not just in looks, but in modern capability as well.
Every 2022 Pathfinder features a 284-horsepower 3.5-litre Direct Injection V6 with 259 lb-ft of torque. The engine is matched with an all-new 9-speed automatic transmission, which provides a smooth, strong, direct vehicle response.
All 2022 Pathfinder models feature Nissan’s new Intelligent 4WD with 7-position Drive and Terrain Mode Selector. The 4WD system features direct coupling, which allows torque transfer directly on the clutch pack using oil pressure, allowing for confident, immediate take-off in low-traction situations. Mode selection – Standard, Sport, Eco, Snow, Sand, Mud/Rut and Tow – is displayed as a pop-up notification on the metre cluster.
