Used 2022 Nissan Pathfinder for Sale nearCommack, NY

How much does the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder cost?

Prices have softened 12.85% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,397 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of options to compare.

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 a non-sliding third row and some mixed feedback on transmission behavior compared with rivals. In use, that means you’re looking at a family SUV that leans into comfort, space, and everyday livability rather than cutting-edge tech or sporty dynamics.

Good and great deals account for 34.8% of listings, so you still have room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder reliable?

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

Owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with repeated praise for comfort and overall satisfaction. The expert evaluation also describes the Pathfinder as smooth and stable in everyday driving, which supports the impression of a vehicle you can count on for regular family use.

Nissan also includes a broad set of standard equipment, which can help reduce the need for immediate add-ons after purchase. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about choosing a well-kept example with no hidden wear or neglected maintenance.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on every candidate, even if the listing looks clean at first glance. Prioritize an inspection of the transmission behavior, interior wear, and the condition of the third row, since those are the areas most likely to affect day-to-day satisfaction. It also makes sense to compare trim equipment carefully so you know whether the features you want are standard or optional.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Pathfinder comes in S, SV, SL, and Platinum trims. The base S is the most stripped-down version, while SV adds more convenience equipment and SL and Platinum bring a more upscale feel with semi-aniline leather-appointed seating. Platinum also gets second-row captain’s chairs as standard, while lower trims use eight-passenger seating unless you opt for captain’s chairs on SV or SL.
• Powertrain: The Pathfinder uses a 3.5-liter V6 with 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. You can shop it with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and AWD models add more drive and terrain modes plus hill descent control.
• 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. A surround-view monitor is reserved for upper trims.
• 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 touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless charging, door-to-door connected navigation, and NissanConnect Services.
• Fuel efficiency: FWD models are rated at 21 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 23 mpg combined. AWD models keep the same combined figure, while the Platinum AWD drops to 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 space, V6 power, and standard safety tech at the lowest price. It makes sense if you want the most affordable way into the model and don’t need the extra comfort and convenience features found higher up.
• SV: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more everyday convenience without pushing you into luxury pricing. It also opens the door to more available equipment, including the panoramic moonroof and roof rack, and it can be optioned with second-row captain’s chairs.
• SL: This is the right choice if you want a more upscale cabin. It adds semi-aniline leather-appointed seating and can be equipped with the Bose Premium Audio system and other comfort upgrades through the available package.
• Platinum: This is the most feature-rich version, with standard second-row captain’s chairs, a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument panel, head-up display, and the most premium interior presentation. It suits you best if you want the most complete Pathfinder experience and are willing to pay for it.

Upper trims get the surround-view monitor, so if that feature matters to you, you’ll want to shop above the base model.

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

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,397 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.85% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.7% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,042, 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 $25,042 sits slightly below last year's $28,734.

That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy at a more favorable point in the cycle. For a future seller, it also means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim desirability rather than broad market momentum alone.

Because the Pathfinder still draws strong shopper interest for space, comfort, and family usefulness, well-kept examples should remain easier to move than neglected ones. Higher trims with desirable equipment may also hold attention better when it’s time to sell.

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?

The 2022 Nissan Pathfinder does not have crash-test ratings listed here.

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 Platinum trim gets 11. If you want the most complete safety hardware, you’ll want to look beyond the base model.

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:

• 34.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.7% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.85% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings back a rugged-looking body style and much of the Pathfinder’s traditional capability.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $30,575, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $25,042 average.
• It adds the Rock Creek edition for a tougher, more rugged personality.

The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2022 is the smarter starting point because it combines a lower average price with strong owner satisfaction and broad standard equipment. If you’re willing to spend more for the newer model-year update and the Rock Creek edition, the 2023 is the better path for buyers who want a more rugged variant.
