Used 2022 Nissan Pathfinder for Sale nearAtlanta, GA

How much does the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder cost?

Prices have softened 12.84% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,480 listings available, which gives you a solid amount of inventory to compare. If you find a listing below $25,172.43, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder a good car?

Yes — the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder earns a 4.8/5 user rating and an 8.33/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel, Form and function, and Safety.

Owners consistently praise the comfortable seating, spacious interior, and smooth performance. They also point to strong value for the price and a useful set of tech features.

The trade-offs are the non-sliding third-row seats and mixed feelings about transmission performance. That matters most if you want a three-row SUV that feels especially flexible in daily family use.

For shoppers who want a practical family vehicle with a more rugged personality, the Pathfinder fits that brief well. It also has a broad appeal if you care about cargo space and a distinctive look rather than a single standout specialty.

With 31.8% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback also points to a comfortable, spacious, and smooth-driving SUV that many people feel good about living with over time. That kind of repeat praise usually matters more than a single feature when you’re trying to judge dependability.

The transmission gets mixed reactions, so it is worth paying close attention to how the vehicle shifts during your test drive. For used buyers, that means the best long-term bet is a well-maintained example with clean service records and no signs of drivability issues.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Nissan Pathfinder?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free listings are not the same as problem-free listings. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on the transmission behavior, interior wear, and how the third row fits your needs. If you plan to use it as a family hauler, make sure the seating layout and cargo setup work for your routine.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The S trim is the most basic version, while SV adds more convenience equipment, and SL and Platinum bring a more upscale feel with leather-appointed seating. Base-trim buyers should pay close attention to the feature gaps if you want a more premium cabin or more advanced comfort equipment.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.5-liter V6 with 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are both available, and the transmission is described as smooth through the gears.
• Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard, and it includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, high-beam assist, rear automatic braking, driver alertness monitor, rear door alert, and forward-collision warning. Upper trims add a surround-view monitor.
• Infotainment: Standard equipment includes an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and a 7-inch digital driver-information display. Upper trims add a 9-inch infotainment touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, and connected navigation.
• Fuel efficiency: The front-wheel-drive model gets 21 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined. All-wheel drive keeps the combined figure at 23 mpg, while the AWD Platinum returns 20 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined.

Which 2022 Nissan Pathfinder trim should I buy?

The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder is offered in 4 trim levels: S, SV, SL, and Platinum.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the entry point, and it gives you the Pathfinder’s core V6 power, standard Safety Shield 360, and a long list of basic tech. It makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and can live without the more upscale cabin touches.
• SV: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more convenience and comfort equipment without jumping all the way to luxury pricing. It also opens the door to more available equipment, making it a smart middle ground.
• SL: This trim is the one to target if you want a more premium feel, including leather-appointed seating and more available tech and audio upgrades. It suits you best if you want the Pathfinder to feel more upscale without going to the top price tier.
• Platinum: This is the most fully equipped version, with standard second-row captain’s chairs, a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument panel, head-up display, and more premium standard equipment. It is the right pick if you want the most comfort and technology the Pathfinder offers.

Upper trims get the surround-view monitor, while the base trim does not.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Nissan Pathfinder?

The market looks moderately favorable if you are a selective buyer.

• Deal availability: 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,480 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.84% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,172.43, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder's resale value?

The current average of $25,170 sits slightly below last year's $28,879.

That price movement suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more affordably now but may also limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you buy at a strong price and keep the vehicle in good condition, you can reduce the impact of that depreciation. The Pathfinder’s broad appeal as a family SUV should still help support demand.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder safe?

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on every Pathfinder, and it includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure warning, high-beam assist, rear automatic braking, driver alertness monitor, rear door alert, and forward-collision warning. A rearview camera is standard, and upper trims add a surround-view monitor.

Ten airbags are standard, while the top trim gets 11. That gives you a strong safety foundation even before you move up the lineup.

Should I buy a 2022 Nissan Pathfinder or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 31.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.5% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.84% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings back rugged styling and capability while keeping family-friendly practicality.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $30,973, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $25,170 average.
• It adds the Rock Creek edition for a tougher look and more rugged character.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2022 is the stronger buy because prices are softer and deal availability is decent. If you are willing to pay more for the newer model year and want the Rock Creek edition’s added rugged personality, the 2023 is the better fit.
