Used 2022 Nissan Pathfinder for Sale nearMemphis, TN

How much does the 2022 Nissan Pathfinder cost?

Prices have softened 12.66% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,432 listings available, which suggests you have a healthy amount of inventory 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, smooth performance, and value for the price. The Pathfinder also stands out for its stylish design and generous cargo room, which fits its role as a family-friendly three-row SUV with more character than a typical utility vehicle.

The trade-offs are its poor fuel economy and unimpressive technology, along with some mixed feedback on transmission behavior. Even so, the Pathfinder’s mix of comfort, space, and everyday usefulness makes it a strong fit if you care more about livability than cutting-edge efficiency or tech.

Good and great deals account for 33.1% of listings, so there is still 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 the comfortable seating, spacious cabin, and smooth performance. The expert evaluation also describes the Pathfinder as a vehicle that should be easy to live with day to day, with a stable ride and a transmission that generally shifts smoothly.

Nissan also includes a capless fuel filler, and the Pathfinder’s standard maintenance and ownership setup is straightforward for a mainstream family SUV. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about whether the vehicle was maintained well and driven in a way that avoided transmission or wear-related issues.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because a clean listing percentage does not replace a proper records review. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that focuses on the transmission, interior wear, and any signs of heavy family use. It also helps to compare trim equipment closely, since some features are reserved for higher grades.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Pathfinder comes in S, SV, SL, and Platinum. The base S is the most basic, while SV adds more convenience equipment and makes a panoramic moonroof and roof rack available. SL brings semi-aniline leather-appointed seating, and Platinum adds quilted semi-aniline leather, standard second-row captain’s chairs, and a more upscale interior presentation.
• Powertrain: You get a 3.5-liter V6 with 284 horsepower and 259 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic transmission. FWD and AWD are both offered, and AWD models add more drive and terrain modes.
• Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard and 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 voice recognition. Upper trims get 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 return 23 mpg combined, while the AWD Platinum is rated at 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 strengths without pushing the price too high. You still get standard safety tech, an 8-inch touchscreen, and three-row seating, so it works well if you want the most affordable way into the model.
• SV: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more convenience and comfort while staying below the higher-end pricing of SL and Platinum. It also opens the door to more available equipment, including the panoramic moonroof and roof rack.
• SL: This trim is the sweet spot if you want a more upscale cabin. The semi-aniline leather-appointed seats and available Bose audio system make it feel noticeably richer without jumping all the way to the top trim.
• Platinum: Choose this if you want the most luxurious Pathfinder experience. It adds quilted leather, standard captain’s chairs, a fully digital 12.3-inch instrument panel, head-up display, and the most complete feature set.

Safety Shield 360 is standard across the lineup, while the surround-view monitor is reserved for upper trims.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so it makes sense to shop carefully and compare listings.

• Deal availability: 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,432 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.66% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 85.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $25,166, 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 $25,171 sits slightly below last year's $28,821.

That price movement suggests the Pathfinder has already absorbed a meaningful amount of depreciation, which can help future sellers if the market stabilizes. If you buy at the current average or below, you may have less downside than someone who bought when prices were higher. The model’s broad appeal as a comfortable, spacious family SUV should also help support demand when it is 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 was not crash-tested by IIHS or NHTSA.

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 get a surround-view monitor. Ten airbags are standard, while the top Platinum trim gets 11.

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:

• 33.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 85.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 12.66% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It brings back much of the classic Pathfinder’s capability with a rugged-looking body style.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $30,868, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $25,171 average.
• It adds the Rock Creek edition, a more rugged version of the Pathfinder.

The bottom line: The 2022 is the better value if you want a well-equipped Pathfinder with strong owner satisfaction and a lower average price. If you want the newer model-year update and are willing to pay more, the 2023 is the better path; if price matters most, the 2022 is the smarter buy.
